First this

The Kenya-based diplomat identified the vessel as the 17,000-ton Maersk Alabama and said all the crew members are American. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

The U.S. Navy confirmed that a U.S. flagged ship with 21 members of crew was hijacked early Wednesday off the eastern coast of Somalia.

Spokesman Lt. Nathan Christensen said the attacked happened in the early hours of the morning hours, about 280 miles (450 kilometers) northeast of Eyl, a town in the northern Puntland region of Somalia.

Then this

American crewmen have regained control of a hijacked U.S.-flagged cargo ship off the coast of Africa, according to CBS News. …

Late Wednesday morning, military sources told CBS News that the crew has regained control of the vessel by overpowering the pirates, taking one pirate into custody and throwing three overboard. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97ECEC01&show_article=1&catnum=0

:rockon:

Got to love an American old west style butt kicking

throwing three overboard

Oh yeah! :clap:

Awesome!

Wonder when they got tossed overboard if anyone thought to give each guy a little cut, just to allow the aroma to wonder the open sea and catch the nostrils of any fish that might see fit to take a bite out of crime?

Way to go USA!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's just awesome!

Take that you Somali Wanna-be's!

Woo-Hoo! d

Unfortunately as of tonight they still held the captain of the American ship hostage in a life raft. However the first of a couple US Warships had just arrived on scene so I'm sure that shit ended quick. :lol:

God Bless the USA
