Excellent result,

In the words of Lance Corporal Jack Jones, 'They Don't Like It Up 'Em' and that in my opinion is just how it should be.

Fully agree. If the pirates are willing to carry arms and take hostages they should expect a swift and surgical response.

Perhaps a few more countries should send in their elite forces.

I'd be very surprised if ours and other countries special forces weren't already in Somalia gathering intel and taking action.

The effectiveness of the SF action was mostly thanks to the actions of the crew, disabling the ship and locking themselves away, so the only "targets" on board were the pirates.

xaccers you are probably right, good job all the same, other countries should take the same approach towards the pirates
