Nope, not what I said or implied.....see #13....take the method of propulsion away and stop her in the water, that would be step one, then if the scum didn't recognise the plight they were in and resisted boarding or threatened/started killing hostages.....in you go.

I can't imagine a majority of pirate gangs not surrendering in this instance.

The alternative method of sinking the mothership at step one would always stack the odds against any potential hostages being saved on every occasion.
