Although this is not strictly aviation related, the marine radar image is so special, I decided to share it with you anyway.
Somewhere on the Arabian Sea…
The cargo vessel on which the radar is located is in the right hand lower corner, sailing in the direction of the arrow (pointing to the left and slightly down). The group of four ships in the middle were unidentified.
The interesting things are the two triangles to the left of the bigger group. Of the two, the larger one is the pirate mother ship and the smaller to the right and slightly ahead is the skiff, heading towards the commercial vessel.
This is not a simulation… this has actually happened. A few minutes after this photo was taken, the container ship, carrying armed guards, was attacked by the pirates but the attack was repealed.
