I recall that the Navy press release said the "skiff" and "mothership" were "disabled" by unspecified gunfire from the DD. I can only imagine the conference on the bridge between the CO, XO, and GO about which weapon to use - bet they went with the 20mm. The press release was also a bit vague on pirate casualties - a hail of "20 mike mike" is bound to ruin somebody's whole day - maybe a bit of fish chum out there, but hey, at least they left the thing floating, for a minute anyway.
