TO GO WITH STORY Malaysia-IMB-maritime-piracy
(FILES) This May 13, 2009 US Navy handout photo shows members of a visit, board, search and seizure (VBSS) team from the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64) and US Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Team South Detachment 409 in the Gulf of Aden as they approach a suspected pirate mothership after responding to a merchant vessel distress signal while operating in the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) area of responsibility as part of Combined Task Force (CTF) 151. The number of pirate attacks across the globe more than doubled in the first half of 2009 because of rampant high-seas raids by Somali pirates, a maritime watchdog said on July 15, 2009.
