Not likely. The Navy probably has option to act instantly if a opportunity presents itself, otherwise it’s keep talking and keep the captain alive. The oval office is too far out of the loop on operations like this, any POTUS leaves it to the military unless were talking international conflict.

I read a report early this morning that the Captain jumping out of the boat happened so quickly it caught the Navy by surprise..
Imagine this..n the middle of the night you jump out of the boat and a pirate fires an AK47 above your head..Where do you think you are going?
Very brave on the Captains part..But the Navy is blameless..there was nothing they could have done.
