a message needs to be sent load and clear that you WILL die if you go after ships



if it were up to me i would station a US navy ship nearby and send helicopter gunships to any vessel in need of help with orders to kill every person and sink those pirate boats.

very quickly it will be known you cant attack the ships anymore and the pirates will have to find a new way to make money

Not so easy in real life. Earlier this year there was a cargo ship being chased by a small boat. The small boat called the cargo ship telling it in broken English to stop and they were going to board them. The crew freaked out and called the Navy.... the small boat was a Yemeni coast guard patrol boat looking for contraband...
