Not a shabby idea that Pinguin, a small vessel can act as a mothership for multiple UAVs which patrol at an altitude high enough to not alert the pirates that they're being watched. From that point on, a RIB can be deployed to intercept the vessel and once it is evacuated either the mothership can knock it out or the UAV if it is a UCAV could do the job.
Of course, the problem is the cost of UAV/UCAV deployment and construction vis a vis the traditional way. After all, money makes the world go around.
