Seems like there is more to this story not included in the article. How many hijackers, did they know how to operate the ship, operate the weapons systems, find the US ships, were there Pakistani crew members involved in the take over?

How do pirates take over a Navy ship? How does the Army get it back? Anyway, a positive ending, the terrorist pirates are in Muslim heaven (hell) and no Americans had to get involved.

The Paki’s probably gave them ships.

What can one gun do against an army? Quite a lot actually.
What can one ship do against the US Navy? Not a frak of a lot.

The bottom line is that no American should trust an armed Muslim.

Is this the one they tried to hijack last week, while it was in port, thinking it was actually a US ship, and they’ve sort of exaggerated the story?

That was my first thought as well.
They would have to keep the crew onboard because any naval warship worth its salt has far too many detailed jobs for any one man to know.

How is this any different then the usual Pakistani Navy?
To: artichokegrower
The background to this was that the dumbasses thought it was a US ship they were taking over, and galloped aboard a fully manned, with a full security complement, Pakistan navy warship. They were able to do so by wearing uniforms with ID cards.
I believe they were delayed by a junior officer, who they murdered, which the rest of the crew took exception to, and proceeded to kill the dogs. Total casualties: 10 al-Qaeda and 1 Petty Officer.
A lot more details (link shortened)

Good way for Pakistan to lose an expensive warship!
