Members of a visit, board, search and seizure team from the guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul inspect the Indian-flagged Faize Osamani. The dhow was a suspected pirate mothership accused of firing small-arms and rocket-propelled grenades at Motor Vessel Rising Sun. The Sailors took ten suspected pirates into custody and rescued eight crewmembers that had escaped from the dhow. McFaul is currently supporting Maritime Security Operations and Theater Security Cooperation Operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.
