    A sailor aboard a safety boat observes a visit, board, search and seizure team, assigned to guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd, board the Iranian-flagged fishing dhow Al Molai. The Kidd's VBSS team detained 15 suspected pirates, who were holding a 13-member Iranian crew hostage for several weeks, according to the members of the crew. The Kidd is conducting counter-piracy and maritime security operations while deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.

A smaller rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is positioned alongside the larger vessel, suggesting an interdiction or boarding operation is underway. The scene is captured in silhouette against a golden, hazy sky.
    An aerial photograph shows a US Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer bearing hull number 100 positioned behind a smaller civilian wooden dhow-style vessel on open blue water. A small rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is visible between the two vessels, suggesting a maritime interdiction or boarding operation is underway. A small white skiff is also visible to the right of the dhow.
