US-IRAN-MILITARY-PIRACY


This US Navy photo shows a US Navy SH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter as it provides support to a visit, board, search and seizure team in a 7-meter rigid-hull inflatable boat assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd (DDG 100) in the Arabian Sea on January 5, 2012. The visit, board, search and seizure team boarded the Iranian-flagged fishing dhow Al Molai after the dhow's master claimed he was being held captive by pirates. Kidd's visit, board, search and seizure team detained 15 suspected pirates who were reportedly holding a 13-member Iranian crew hostage for the last two months. Kidd is conducting counter-piracy and maritime security operations while deployed to the US 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
