Should we really be listing US, UK, etc... naval vessels that were attacked as "capture failed"? Considering these ships were never going to be captured and were attacked mistakenly by the pirates wouldn't a better more accurate listing such as "mistaken identity" or the like be more appropriate?
This article is 176k long, and is well overdue for splitting. I therefore suggest that it is split into four articles - List of ships attacked by Somali pirates 1992-2007, List of ships attacked by Somali pirates in 2008, List of ships attacked by Somali pirates in 2009 and List of ships attacked by Somali pirates in 2010.

I chose 1992 as that is the date the Somali Government collapsed. Earlier activity has been mentioned above on this talk page. Will give it a while longer, and split off the three single years first - after which the size of the article can then be reviewed and maybe a decision made as to what happens then.
