Danish Special Forces recapture ship from pirates
Navy Times
An EU naval spokesman says Danish Special Forces have recaptured a ship taken over by armed Somali pirates and freed the 25 crew on board.
Danish Special Forces were aboard the warship Absolon.
Cmdr. John Harbour says the incident marks the first time a warship has intervened once pirates have boarded a vessel.
Harbour says the Antigua and Barbuda-flagged Ariella sent out a distress signal early Friday.
Special Forces approached the vessel in inflatable boats that launched from a nearby Danish warship.
Harbour says the forces scaled the side of the ship and freed the 25 crew, who had locked themselves in a secure room. The forces continue to search the vessel for the pirates.
