Gee, I don't know exactly what may have made the San Jacinto team suspicious -- though that pair of brand new Yamaha motors on the stern of the "fishing" boat would have made me curious . . .GULF OF ADEN (May 31, 2010) Members of U.S. Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Detachment 406 and the visit, board, search and seizure team embarked aboard the guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56) search a skiff suspected of participating in recent pirate activity. San Jacinto is part of Combined Task Force (CTF) 151, a multinational task force established to conduct counter-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden and the east coast of Somalia.
