US-JAPAN-TURKEY-MILITARY-PIRATES
This US Navy handout image shows a rigid-hull inflatable boat from the guided-missile destroyer USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) approaching the Japanese-owned commercial oil tanker M/V Guanabara. The Turkish navy frigate TCG Giresun (F 491), assigned to NATO counter-piracy Task Force 508, is in the background. Bulkeley responded to the reported pirating of Guanabara and detained four suspected pirates. "There was no exchange of fire at any time during the operation to release the MV Guanabara," the statement said. None of the 24 crew, all of whom are non-Japanese, were hurt and the vessel continued its journey, said Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, according to Japan's Kyodo News agency.
