April Fools: The U.S. Navy Captures Pirates in the Indian Ocean

April fools, pirates.

The U.S. Navy took decisive action against pirates on April 1st in the Indian Ocean.

The USS Faragut (seen in above photo) destroyed pirate craft and captured the pirates, showing them a small display of American naval power.

The U.S. and other nations need to deliver more of this kind of action to preserve the sea lanes and protect commercial shipping from these ragtag pirates.
