At 3:30 AM, 250 Somali Pirates Attacked a U.S. Navy Tanker — What Happened Next Was Unbelievable

Описание: At 3:30 AM in the Gulf of Aden, silence shattered when 250 Somali pirates in 30 speedboats launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy fleet tanker USNS Guadalupe — a ship carrying more than 8 million gallons of jet fuel. Their goal: to cripple America’s naval supply line and trigger one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in modern history.

Armed with RPGs, heavy machine guns, and AK-47s, the pirates closed in fast, firing relentlessly into the darkness. But they didn’t expect what was coming next.

The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Laboon and cruiser USS Cape St. George raced to the scene, unleashing devastating precision firepower. .50-caliber guns, 20mm cannons, and Apache helicopters tore through the pirate fleet in a display of unmatched coordination and control.

Outnumbered ten to one, the U.S. sailors held their ground — calm, disciplined, and deadly accurate. Within minutes, the night sea turned into a firestorm. The Battle of the Gulf of Aden would go down as one of the most intense modern naval confrontations ever recorded.

This was more than a fight for survival — it was a message to the world: attack a U.S. ship, and the Navy will strike back harder, faster, and without mercy.

Watch the full story to see how courage, precision, and sheer will turned the tide at sea — proving once again why the U.S. Navy rules the oceans.
