The Nordic Apollo vessel radioed for help on Monday, December 19, indicating that it was being fired on by pirates in a small skiff, according to Philip Ewing, writing in www.military.com. The U.S.S. Pinckney responded with a helicopter (an MH-60R Seahawk), saw the pirates' skiff, and hovered over them. The pirates threw their weapons into the sea, along with their ladders. Soon the Pinckney arrived, launched a small boat and basically disarmed the pirates and threw one of their outboard motors overboard, leaving them just enough power and enough gasoline to get back to Somalia (Ewing).

Should the Navy have shot the pirates dead on the spot, sunk their boat and sent a message to other pirates? Probably their orders are not to kill unless the pirates are threatening the lives of innocent civilians. But the point is, the Navy is doing a wonderful job against this threat and it should continue to do so. The pirates are becoming bolder; the Navy should respond.


Also, the Navy needs to continue to introduce renewable energy sources into its programs. The Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy System (GREENS), developed by the Navy, takes the sun's energy and converts it into electricity, so Marines and Seamen can have usable power when there is no available electricity. "…[It] provides [troops] in remote locations with battery and plug-in power for charging various devices," Tammy White explains.

In conclusion, American can be proud of the great work the Navy -- and the Navy SEALS -- are doing to protect innocent lives, to go after terrorists like bin Laden, and to keep the high seas as safe as possible.
