Rotterdam's RHIB was engaged by a Dhow and Pirates ashore. The Dhow lost. The Rotterdam then rescued the Pirates from the sinking Dhow while under fire from the pirates ashore.

No that would be inhumane. But I would sail my ship across their path, and keep going. ;D
 
Meh.  Doesnt sound like shore was too far away anyhow, if they were receiving small arms fire....would have been some good PT for the pirates to swim back to shore    8)
