SOMALIA-PIRACY-US-YEMEN
In this image released by the US Navy, an SH-60B Sea Hawk helicopter, assigned to Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 37, embarked aboard the guided-missile cruiser USS Chosin (CG 65), hovers near three men clinging to a piece of wood on November 17, 2009 in the Gulf of Aden. The stranded fishermen were rescued by the Chosin after they had been drifting for three days with only a few bottles of water, said a statement from the US Fifth Fleet, which is based in Bahrain. "According to the fishermen, they were left stranded in the water after 12 suspected pirates hijacked their vessel," the statement said. "The fishermen also said that the pirates gave them an ultimatum to either jump overboard with only a wooden plank as a flotation device or be killed."
