It is a problem of law. What law, who's law, and where. Solve that riddle Batman and then you can apply a response.
Now, the fact that the Sammies whacked an US FLAG ship, I hope to see them wind up in US court system (though that would probably be a lifestyle improvement).
Reports are though that they have the Captain hostage. Rumors are that some of the crew (officers?) are from Mass / Mass Maritime.
For the crew that took back the ship, where do you want your beer delivered?
