Ah, yes, more ramblings from the subject matter expert.
Could SEALS get on board? Probably. But not as easily as the pirates.
The pirates boarded a ship which was not defended. There weren't, apparently, any firearms in the hands of watchful sentries. Pirates will most certainly be on the watch for an incursion by Special Forces, and would do what they could to repel that.
Unlike when the pirates took over, which probably resulted in the crew just putting their hands in the air...
