You guys are forgetting all the local innocent small boats out there that the pirates try to blend in as.This is why they have all the ships and planes and choppers out looking then when they find something they have to send a Navy,Marine,or Coast Guard boarding team(not Spec Ops though the boarders are trained they are not in most cases Spec Ops the Spec OPs would be good for Rockins scenario) to check out the vessel if they are legit and have no weapons they are free to go about their day if they are bad guys they get detained and the little boats get sunk by gunfire.
The complex nature of the situation must be why they are doing this program if it was as easy as some of your posts they'd have done it by now. Clearly there are many maritime laws as well as LOAC rules in play here.
