The pirates probably figured that our wuss of a president would make the frigate disengage and run. I guess the captain didn't call the Wuss in Charge for guidance.

What I can't figure out is how there were prisoners to be captured? I'm sure something like a Javelin isn't cheap, but probably more cost effective in the long term.

That's my question. Why didn't they blow them out of the water?

EDIT: Just answered my own question. The mother ship was a confiscated boat.

They shot at and sank the pirate ship and captured the mother ship.
