I thought this was a myth?

Troll?

Well pirates are stupid.. they attacked a French naval vessel last year.. when they failed a French one they decided to try again against US one? 

The Danish command ship (simulated Frig) "Absalon" captured and sunk a mothership a month or so ago.

I think a Spanish warship nabbed a pirate ship and mother ship recently too. The Russians have. Heck, seems like most nations involved have now nailed a few pirates.

Hmm... maybe the pirates are trying to fight back by attacking the warships!        I assume the pirates must not realize it's a warship they're shooting at until it's too late. They just see a big ship, probably never/rarely seen a warship before?

A pirate attack foiled by a US navy destroyer; pirate boat sunk while attacking a merchant ship. Second battle in 2 days for the US navy.

Navy: Photo shows warship destroying pirate mother skiff

New photos released Friday show what the U.S. Navy says is the aftermath of suspected pirates attacking a Sierra Leone-flagged tanker this week in the Somali Basin.

The confrontation between the MV Evita and two suspected pirate skiffs was disrupted by the U.S. Navy destroyer, USS Farragut, according to the U.S Navy. The suspected bandits' "mother skiff" was destroyed and sunk.

"The pirates have become bolder and are attacking ships further away from the Somali shores," said Rear Adm. Bernard Miranda of the Singapore navy.

The Evita fired flares and sped up to ward off the attackers, who were armed with rifles and rocket-propelled grenades.

Coalition forces were summoned by the International Maritime Bureau in Kuala Lumpur and the UK Maritime Trade Operations office in Dubai, who received a call of aid from the Evita.

The Evita was also assisted by a Swedish vessel, which located the suspected pirates' skiffs and witnessed them throwing equipment overboard.

Farragut coalition forces found 11 suspected pirates aboard the skiffs, along with fuel drums and grappling hooks.

Coalition forces released the suspected pirates after making sure they couldn't attack again.

You do realize phrases like that are searchable on Google and only make Languish look like a den of yokels.

I'm reasonably certain that the US could built a small dreadnought battleship for a rather small sum.

We can't build anything small or cheap.

For the government anyhoo.

By reusing guns and armour, or do you include the cost of recreating whole industries in your estimate?

The industries must be recreated.  Rather than using an existing, priceless dreadnought's weapons and armour, America must once again learn to produce things of value.
