The campaign plan is to capture the pirate territories and let their system collapse for lack of infrastructure. The Royal Navy's historical approach is described in the same terms: remove the bases and support that made piracy sustainable instead of treating it only as a series of ship-to-ship encounters. That shifts attention from chasing individual raiders to controlling the shore facilities that allow them to operate. Maritime security here depends on infrastructure as well as sea space.
