U.S. Naval Destroyer, USS Bainbridge
According to a BBC World News report, pirates used rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons to attack another US merchant ship off the coast of Somalia on April 15. The pirates damaged the Liberty Sun, which was carrying a cargo of food aid. The USS Bainbridge, still carrying the rescued Maersk Alabama Caption, arrived some hours later, by which time the pirates had gone.
