Warships Surround Somali Pirates

HOYBYO, SOMALIA, AT SEA - SEPTEMBER 29: (EDITORS NOTE: IMAGE RELEASED BY U.S. MILITARY PRIOR TO TRANSMISSION) In this handout image provided by the U.S. Navy, the MV Faina, one of the three pirated cargo vessels, is observed by the guided-missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf (CG 72) September 29, 2008 at sea in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Hoybyo, Somalia. Several navy ships are in the area monitoring the situation where Somali pirates have seized the Ukrainian-operated MV Faina, a ship carrying 33 T-72 tanks, armored personnel carriers and weapons destined for Kenya. The Somali pirates are demanding a ransom of $20 million and report that they are surrounded by at least three foreign warships. Two other pirated vessels, MV Capt Stefanos and MV Centauri, are also anchored in the same location as the Ukrainian ship. (Photo by Jason Zalasky/U.S. Navy via Getty Images)
