Summary

Description
English: Personnel from Type 23 frigate HMS Montrose intercept suspected pirates during a counter piracy operation in the Gulf of Aden.

HMS Montrose had received a distress call from the MV Mi Rae who reported that a gang of men in a nearby boat were acting in a suspicious manner. Fearing that a pirate attack was imminent, the Commanding Officer from HMS Montrose responded immediately by sending the ship’s Lynx helicopter to investigate the scene.

When HMS Montrose’s helicopter arrived at the scene, the suspected pirates moved away from the MV Mi Rae and the helicopter crew observed the men in the boat throwing objects, including a rocket propelled grenade launcher, overboard before stopping in the water.

HMS Montrose immediately despatched her team of Royal Marines and Royal Navy sailors to investigate and question the suspected pirates.
