Seals 3, Pirates 0

If you remember back to April, there was a story about Somali pirates attempting to hijack a ship, the Maersk Alabama. The captain was taken and there was a standoff for a week. The captain and the priates were on a lifeboat for that time until the Navy Seals took out the pirates on Easter Sunday and made the rescue.
I was over at the National Navy Seal Museum in Ft. Pierce, FL over the weekend. The Alabama's lifeboat is there on permanent display. I was told the broken windows were not shot out, as was broadcasted on the news. The pirates had broken the windows for air. When you see how cramped the boat is you see why. They apparently chew some kind of root to ward off seasickness and they had run out of it, so they were hanging their heads out when the Seal snipers took them out.
The museum is worth a look if you're over that way. It's on the grounds where the original UDT teams trained. It's an hour or two to walk thru and they have a few videos to watch as well. Several boats are outside with various covert underwater insertion vehicles.http://www.navysealmuseum.com/
