Hunting the Pirates of Somali

U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. and UH-1Y crew chief Bryan E. Campbell (R), from Melbourne, Arkansas, with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 163 (Reinforced) of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepares an M2.50 caliber machine gun during flight operations in support of counter-piracy surveillance operations in the Gulf of Aden April 6, 2009.

Somali pirates holding an American hostage on a drifting lifeboat hauled him back when he jumped overboard to escape and vowed April 9, 2009 to fight any attack by U.S. naval forces stalking them at sea.
