#4 I've noticed that most of these pirate reports state that 5 pirates boarded.

That's interesting, if they leave one man to guard their boat that means that the number of pirates is actualy small.
Instead of defending against them, sink their small boat, preferably before they board your ship, that will put them out of business very shortly.

#5 Especially in the heavily shark-infested waters off Somalia.

#6 What a silly bunch of nonsense, all this non-lethal stuff. They're pirates. You perforate them Dirty Harry style or Indiana Jones style.
