The Navy did exactly what it should have done- wait patiently while not letting the pirates escape, and look for an opportunity to rescue the Captain. They could’ve blown the lifeboat out of the water any time they wanted, but they would have killed the Captain in the process. Best to tail the pirates- they’re not going anywhere- and wait until the moment is right to strike. Nobody likes killing, anyway. The Navy knew they were going to win no matter what, so they gave the pirates every opportunity to surrender and live, but the pirates wouldn’t budge. Bravo Zulu to the US Navy.
