A reported cruiser shortcut against a pirate dhow

A report from 1930s Indian Ocean patrols describes two Town-class cruisers trapping a dhow between their hulls instead of sending a boarding party. The smaller vessel was crushed, after which everyone in the water was recovered and no deaths were reported. The anecdote presents intimidation and overwhelming material advantage as a substitute for a conventional boarding action. The ships and incident are not identified, so this is a striking lead rather than a documented case study.
