jan 3, 2005 - Somalians attack Seabourn Spirit

Description:

In 2005 Somalian pirates attack a German mid-size cruise ship. A small ship was spawned from a larger ship and they fired with guns and rocket-propelled grenades. An acoustic device called an LRAD shot a sonic sound to hurt them and the ship steered wildly to avoid them boarding. Somalian pirates also attacked a Kenyan Cargo ship on its way to relieve Tsunami victims and held the ship for 3 months. They do not want plunder, just ransom.
