A handout photo taken on July 22, 2011 and released on July 27 shows a visit, board, search and seizure team from guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio, investigating a suspected pirate skiff in the Gulf of Aden. ANZIO received a report from a merchant vessel that it had been attacked, including being fired upon, by suspected pirates in a skiff who were reportedly armed with a rocket propelled grenade launcher and AK-47 assault rifles. ANZIO was ordered to pursue the suspected pirate vessel and intercept it. Collaborative efforts between CTF 151, NATO (TF 508), a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force vessel and a Japanese Maritime Patrol Aircraft, resulted in the apprehension of the suspected vessel.
