U.S. Confirms Crew Took Back Maersk Ship From Pirates

From Wall Street Journal on April 9, 2009:

"A Pentagon official confirmed that the crew of a Maersk ship was back in control after the American-flagged vessel was hijacked off the coast of Somalia earlier Wednesday. The crew had one pirate under their control, and the fate of the other pirates who had been reported to have been on the ship was not known, the Defense Department said."

And now they will make a movie about it ... Say Rambo VI or VII vs. Somali pirates? Very interesting.
