One pirate is reportedly in custody. A U.S. official said the status of the other pirates is unknown but they were reported to "be in the water."

I heard this on the news and it's far better to hear it said than just read it. Even deadpan the news guy sounded like a comedian!
According to a quick search, "Somalia’s coast is famous for fish like red snapper, barracuda, shark and tuna."

Myself and some Army buddies would love to go in to the private security business and offer these cargo liners some protection for reasonable pay.
Plus I'd love to
some Somalis!

Their plan is this: Hook up a long-range acoustic device (LRAD) to an MP3 player, and raise the volume to painful sound levels whenever pirates approach.
The noise from the satellite dish-sized LRAD can get so loud that it causes permanent hearing damage.
If threatened ships blast oncoming pirates with “precise beams” of warning messages, sirens, etc., it could be enough to cause “absolute agony” to any ambitious pirates, according to APMSS chief executive Nick Davis, and could make them turn back.

I'd like to hear the details of how they regained control.

The Navy is on the way too. Funny that the crew took it back though.

Nothing would be better in this than to see the look on the poor pirate's faces when I pulled a M2 and mount it aiming at their POS rowboat. Anywho leave it to an American ship to show how its done over there.
