Pirate Band Sending Reinforcements to Kidnappers, Group Says

The band of pirates whose members hijacked a U.S.-flagged ship yesterday in the Indian Ocean is sending reinforcements to the kidnappers holding the captain hostage, said a member of the group who spoke from Somalia.

The man, who called himself Da’ud and identified himself as one of the pirates, spoke by phone from the area of Eyl, Somalia. He said he had been in contact with the four pirates who boarded the Maersk Alabama and who then took the captain hostage on a lifeboat that has stalled off the coast.

Any new pirates arriving at the scene will be confronted by the destroyer USS Bainbridge, which has moved into the area and is getting images fed to it from a drone flying over the lifeboat, an American official said.

Ex-fishers on speedboats with AKs and RPGs vs. Arleigh Burke destroyer? Good luck with that. Among the weapons the pirates may face: the Mark 45, Mod 4, 5-inch gun (shown is a Mod 2 being fired from DDG-96 Bainbridge's older sister, DDG-65 Benfold)...

Mod 4 - longer barrel (62 calibers in length versus 54) for more complete propellant combustion, higher velocity and greater utility as a land attack weapon.

"Greater utility as a land attack weapon," eh? Sounds like Eyl might be wearing some lead sometime soon.
