Are these people heavily armed with something other than just hand held guns, like torpedos or large caliber ship-mounted guns? If not, once the whole hostage situation is resolved, isn’t there a fairly simple response to this problem?

The U.S. Navy sometimes uses decommisioned ships for target practice and instrumenting them to collect data on shock events like underwater detonations. These days it’s a huge effort/cost to “clean” the ships before they can be sunk due to concerns with PCB’s and other harmful items. I think you see where I’m going with this. If you’re going to spend money on training, might as well do it the cheap way.

lol i would be willing to bet whatever they are armed with, the US Navy has them beat lol.
