The circled word isn't "pirate", it's "hijack". Though, it would also work, since I don't see the us being called corsairs either.

I'm still struggling to think of what else a pirate does to a vessel other than hijack it.

hijack:

Are you familiar with how words have connotations we associate with them?

omfg make your point or don't, like am i supposed to guess at what specific connotations you're talking about and how they relate to the villanous US navy and then make my reply to that??
