164. Helicopters and Convoys, then.
Meet up as many cargo ships and tankers as possible, and then assign a few Navy ships. Keep a LHA in the area, with 1000-1500 Marines on board. Have V-22s and helicopters on board, and carry the Marines to and from the cargo ships. Out of the danger zone, lift them off with the aircraft.

A Canadian frigate got into it a few months ago with these pirates, and even a small warship like that easily pounds a bunch of lunatics in a boat.
