Not Exactly "Yo Ho Ho"

Nor very reminisent of Long John Silver either. However, not one but two merchants were attacked by pirates off of the Somali coast. One ship, the North Korean flagged Dai Hong Dan, successfully fought off the attack, while a Panamian flagged ship owned by a Japanese firm, the Golden Nori, was captured and is presumably in a Somali port.

Note please, that neither the Panamanian, Japanese nor either of the Korean navies are anywhere to be found. Assistance is being rendered by the USS James E. Williams and USS Arleigh Burke.
