SOLARZ/O'HANLON: The convoy solution
Strategy won sea battle in World War II
By Stephen J. Solarz and Michael E. O'Hanlon | Monday, May 11, 2009
（中略）
The right policy has three specific elements::
(1) We need to deal with pirates more firmly. That means being willing to detain and try them, rather than release them back on African shores. It also means being willing to shoot at them as they approach commercial ships, once a reasonable keep-out zone is penetrated. A United Nations Security Council resolution should explicitly authorize this.
(2) We need to beef up our naval picket in the Gulf of Aden. The number of ships there is clearly not adequate to the challenge. Because distances are modest and traffic is heavy, maintaining such a naval picket is probably the most efficient approach. Where possible, vessels should be equipped with unmanned aerial vehicles, some possibly armed, to improve coverage and enhance our rapidity of response.
(3) Along the Somali coast, on the approach to Mombassa, Kenya, we should establish World War II-style convoys. Here, in contrast to the Gulf of Aden, sea traffic is light and distances are long. So convoys make the most sense.

もっと強固な態度をとれ、アデン湾をもっと固めろ、（第二次世界大戦時に使った）護送船団方式をとれ、ということですね。
結論としてはけっこう普通な感じですな。
