Or they simply thought it was better to go out fighting thinking their spirit will somehow win out against a state of the art destroyer equipped with some of the most deadliest weapons known to man and SEALS trained to use said weapons
No they most likely saw that the us navy was gonna investigate them no matter what so figured they might as well as put up a fight. They gotta put bread on the table one way or another
iirc the navy was kind enough to light each boat up a couple extra times so nobody would suffer a chark attack. Like, once they hit them all, they went back and hit them some more.

They seem to be forgetting that destroyer is short for something. It's short for torpedo boat destroyer. The destroyer classification is specifically designed, built, trained, and fielded to take out small boats just like those.
Historically, pirates were mercenaries, very skilled seamen and were absolutely known for their intelligence. These dummies just happened to believe in Disney's version of "pirates".
If I remember pirates in the colonial times are the reason the US navy was created. That any pirate would think for a milisecond that attacking a US surface ship is a good idea is suicidal thinking.
