Non lethal force should not even be an option. Tell them to cease and desist then destroy every single one of them.

The ship your on is considered your country, if invaded respond accordingly. If warning shots are not effective then proceed to the next level..

I served aboard a US Navy Frigate and when we were in the Tonkin Gulf in 1967 we spotted a PT boat as it barely appeared on the horizon. It failed to respond to a message so we put a 5 inch round across her bow to get her attention. She responded then and identified herself as one of ours. The point is that if a small gun boat is allowed to get close enough to threaten a US Navy ship someone is asleep at the switch. With modern weaponry it's just practice.

Full-on weaponry should be used against all pirate attacks. Non-lethal "weapons" constitute the LITERAL definition of bringing a knife to a gunfight. The pirates use their full arsenal; they should expect nothing less than the same in return. Anything less is not a deterrent to future attacks.

If merchant vessels sailing into an area frequented by pirates were armed,the pirate threat would disappear overnight.

As a Vietnam era veteran and civilian sailor, it is obvious piracy on the seas cannot be tolerated anywhere in the world. Most of us have some degree of sympathy for those desperate people who must resort to lawlessness to survive. However, the virtually universal principle of "fire when fired upon" appropriately applies in most instances of piracy. In cases where non-lethal force is used as an initial deterrent, the pirates can consider themselves quite fortunate. However, this less threatening approach, if it becomes standard US policy in confronting piracy, will indeed act as an invitation. It is a long-established sociological fact that the most effective crime deterrents are increasing the probability of being caught and the severity of the consequences. Dr. A

"Using lethal weapons to eliminate the pirates is the only real response that should be considered." You're right @Roarmeister2 1 month ago

_"Police car?"_ *If it were the police in the USA, they would shoot first and ask questions later; perhaps security car would be more appropriate in your post.*

As a former petty officer in the US Navy, I can assure you that it would be impossible for somoli pirates to take over a US warship. The only reason they would have to board a US warship would be to try and obtain loose weapontry that may include side arms like the M1911 or M1911A. US warships also carry other weapons like shotguns, M14s, grenade launchers, and various other hand-held weapons. Somali pirates would not, nor could not, take over a US warship. They simply do not have the training or the firepower. Their only hope is to try and board the ship in the attempt to find something of value. They will most definitely fail and die in the attempt. GOD BLESS THE US NAVY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

If the goal is to maintain safe and secure maritime routes, the pirates only respond to deadly force. Therefore, only deadly force should be used at all times. This response level communicates that piracy is unacceptable and always results in reliable responses.

Tit for Tat. The pirates use deadly force so they should receive the same.

I think the problem emanates from the abuses of foreign nations that have gone to the shores of Somalia and commenced to overfish and dump trash and toxic materials into the waters off the horn of Africa. As is with often the case, rich nations go to what may be considered to be poor nations and become environmental terrorist creating animus and hostile depositions with the people of those nations. Much of this is a response (though to some extent the targeting is misplaced) to those thoughtless actions that affect the livelihood and well-being of the people of that nation. Using lethal force on a regular basis will likely increase the likelihood of the willingness of some of those pirates to then raise the stakes by responding with lethal force much more frequently. The US, nor are other nations interested in putting their warships at risk by amping up these skirmishes into a worse situation than already exists.

Non lethal weapons rarely work.

It was extremely dangerous and they were not allowed to carry any weapons to protect the boat or themselves. He ended up leaving and working on a heavily protected oil platform instead.

It sucks to take a life, but fire when fired upon.

I'm surprised the Navy is still allowed to defend itself.

Full Force ! The word will get out and they will think twice about trying to capturing another ship.

I’m curious, so if a navy vessel, defends itself with non-lethal force, and those pirates that were not obliterated by lethal force continue to try and take over other ships and succeed, is the navy liable?

It’s extremely disappointing that the U.S. Navy is obviously being PREVENTED from doing the job they’re trained to do. I would be very curious to learn who is tying their hands, so to speak? 1 or 2 well placed rounds not intended to shoot or kill anyone, but intended to sink a boat, sends an immediate signal to other pirates that drowning is not worth their efforts.

Are Somalian Pirates still a thing? Any ship should have the right to protect its sovereignty by any means, in international waters! If attacked, the crew should have no obligation to rescue surviving pirates, nor should they even obligated to report the encounter. Once a pirate boards a ship, the pirate shouldn't have any humanitarian rights whatsoever. The crew should be free to do what they want with the pirate, and should set an example for other pirates as to the consequences of boarding a ship without authorization. The only way to stop piracy is to make it too risky to be worth trying.

Piracy on the high seas has been a crime for centuries. Lethal force is warranted at the onset of such an event. No mercy necessary. Non lethal responses are counterproductive and only motivate these people to try again and again.

Not only should the Navy use weapons, the freighters should be allowed to defend themselves in international waters.

The teamwork of everyone on board is just incredible. Whatever job you people do on this incredible vessel you are an inspiration.

Warning shots first, if they don't leave lethal force should be used.

Personally I would not waste ammunition on warning shots. If they are attacking, they are the aggressors, so those being attacked are simply defending themselves

The trouble with the use of non lethal weapons is that they pull away from the warship and then attack the next merchant ship they can and so they lose nothing and all it does is give them more control of the oceans but like the pirates of old when the consequences of their actions are not worth the risk they change their professions

Lethal weapons is the only way to deter future assaults, otherwise it's going to be an ongoing problem.

You’d just arrest them? They’d be out in a week because our law is too lenient in a case like this!

Some how I don't think you need state of the art mach 5 missiles to fend off a bunch of guys in an old fishing boat powered by an outboard.

It's the bureaucracy in DC that makes the stupid rules of engagement. They just sit behind a desk and aren't in the battle.

Full force is the only way to get the message across. The invading boats should be sunk with the occupants. A step further, submarines should be used in addition. Make them fear the water around these ships, then they will stick to the intended purpose of the boats; make a living fishing, transport, hauling.

Can you imagine what a catastrophe would be if the pirates actually captured a Navy ship? Especially if they'd try to use it? We need to get the job done and non-letheal tactics are not going to work. The pirates know the tactics used now are basically just a slap on the hand. Cut the hand off. Off with their heads. Show them we mean business and make them face the responsibility of their actions.

@@user-ji9od1zv2n, Why do people make completely nonsensical comments and unwarranted accusations and then demand to be taken seriously and responded to. I have read a great number of books thank you, so yes, I know, violence has repeatedly failed at deterring piracy for millennium. If anything it only ever made the pirates more violent. I have no clue why I should have to answer the question of what the ships should do when it gets shot at by pirates, because there is a whole list of things that they do currently that work as well as anything else. If you feel the need to know what they do aside from those demonstrated in the video you clearly did not watch, feel free to demonstrate your own reading skills and read a book on the subject yourself, instead of hurling unneeded insults at people you clearly have knowledge about. My assertion stands. Remind us of the last time that lethal tactics worked towards deterring pirates?

If the pirates got ahold of a naval ship? HA go look up the video of the Taliban flying a Blackhawk and you will get an idea of what would happen.

I was Navy for 11yrs. Non lethal is best. US war ship against a shiv, is like a bazooka to a fly. Wasted fire power for minimal task.

Good job 👍 god bless you guys and protect all of you 🙏🙏🙏

You should always use Full Force against your enemies. After all isn’t that exactly what they are doing.

the idea of ragtag pirates in crappy wooden canoes with speed boat engines trying to go toe to toe with an actual navy warship is hilarious. these people are either incredibly stupid, or incredibly brave.

It has been known to happen. Most pirates conduct their raids at dusk or pre-dawn, when darkness can conceal them, but that can be a double-edged sword, in darkness all the pirates see is the ships running lights, in the dark a destroyer looks the same as a small freighter until you're right on top of it. Now the thumbnail of this video is cute, no amount of darkness will hide an aircraft carrier.

The Army used Psyop Tactics in Vietnam. Those decibel of sounds can mess up & scramble the brain & thought process. The lethal versus non lethal depends upon the situation. Somali pirates now carry missiles too. Don’t forget about the SS Cole.

Use lethal force any time the "pirates" have any form of lethal force with them. Kill a few or a lot and word will get around to those involved that they risk their lives playing this game.

The pirates are serious trying to hurt people…Our armed forces need to be just as serious… take no prisoners…eliminate the problem completely, no non-lethal weapons…take em out so others will know the rewards to be received behaving as pirates … go get em guys & gals 💪

And your actually want me to believe these pirates are stupid enough to attack a aircraft carrier

Looking for the ships weakest point and then iliminating the bigger powerful vessels

There is only one 1⃣ reason they attack a big ship to take control of the ship would show their power. They should be taken out period. If you take them out the pirates would stop attacking the bigger ship's

Full force! Eliminates courts, trials, and corrections to house, feed, and keep these morons from being future pirates ever again.😊

Leadership in a world wide forum.

Defending yourself from those who mean harm, with nonlethal force is ridiculous.

How the snipers take a shot on a ship moving up and down is beyond me.

Non lethal seems like a form of "negotiating with terrorists."

Lethal defense. Wouldn’t lose a wink of sleep

You’ve lethal weapons, i‘ve lethal weapons 🤷‍♂️

Risk & reward. Why shouldn’t they try, since they lose nothing of significance and have much to gain. Like betting a dollar on a million to one odds…
