If your Father is still alive, thank him for me. If not, he did a great service. Those original “frogmen” had one of the most dangerous jobs at the time with their primitive equipment. I salute him.
From the Washington Times,
Captain Jumps To Freedom
It appears the captain jumped to his freedom. Before the pirates could respond, the Navy opened fire on the three pirates who were still on the lifeboat. Idon't know if the fourth that was captured was on the USS Bainbridge in negotiation, or if that person was another Somali. GREAT NEWS!!!
Here is Capt. Phillips shaking hands with the USS Bainbridge, Cmdr Frank Castellano
