In a bold maritime operation, the U.S. Navy warships 'Enterprise' and 'Leyte Gulf' successfully intervened during a pirate attack in the Arabian Sea on March 24, 2023. The incident began when the distressed 'Falcon Trader II' issued a call for help around 10:30 a.m. local time, reporting that armed pirates were attempting to board the vessel from a small skiff. Shortly after, the 'Falcon Trader II' alerted the warships that the crew of 20 had taken refuge in a secure safe room, managing to lock themselves in with control of the ship. Responding swiftly, both warships launched helicopters from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron 11 and Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 48 to assess the situation. Upon arrival, one of the helicopters discharged warning shots in an effort to deter the assailants. In a panic, two pirates abandoned the 'Falcon Trader II', jumping back into their skiff and making a hasty retreat toward their mother ship. As the situation escalated, one of the helicopters pursued the fleeing pirates, who retaliated by firing Kalashnikov rifles at the aircraft. The U.S. warships maintained their presence in the area throughout the night, ensuring the safety of the 'Falcon Trader II'. The following morning, U.S. forces conducted a boarding operation on the vessel to secure it. Meanwhile, the suspected pirate mother ship continues to be monitored by the vigilant U.S. forces in the region.
