SOMALIA-US-PIRACY-SHIPPING
This US Navy handout photo received February 6, 2009 shows the US Navy fleet ocean tug USNS Catawba (T-ATF 168) in the Indian Ocean as it provides fuel and fresh water to Motor Vessel Faina following its release by Somali pirates February 5 after holding it for more than four months. The US Navy has remained within visual range of the ship and maintained a 24-hour, 7-days a week presence since it was captured. The Belize-flagged cargo ship is owned and operated by "Kaalbye Shipping Ukraine" and is carrying a cargo of Ukrainian T-72 tanks and related equipment. The ship was attacked on September 25 and forced to proceed to anchorage off the Somali Coast. US 5th Fleet conducts maritime security operations to promote stability and regional economic prosperity. AFP PHOTO/US NAVY/ Michael R. McCormick/Released/ RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE =GETTY OUT=
