What Happens When Pirates ATTACK US Navy Ships?

Somali pirates attack US Navy ships? In this video we break down how the U.S. Navy responds when pirates in fast skiffs approach merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden. Real tactics. Real formations. Real rules of engagement — all within international maritime law. This is a detailed, realistic scenario based on modern naval anti-piracy patrols. We analyze how Arleigh Burke–class destroyers, MH-60 Seahawk helicopters, and RHIB boarding teams work together to deter pirate attacks without escalating to direct combat. It does not depict an actual event. What you’ll learn: • How pirates use small, fast skiffs to swarm slow-moving cargo ships • Why U.S. Navy destroyers patrol the Internationally Recognized Transit Corridor (IRTC) • How radio warnings, water-cannon deterrence, and helicopter overwatch prevent escalation • Why “presence” and discipline are often more powerful than firepower at sea #usnavy #pirates #aircraftcarrier --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚓ Disclaimer This channel is created for educational, informative, and entertainment purposes only.
