Ship Captain Rescued From Pirates

Yesterday we shared the story in regards to ship Captain Richard Phillips being held captive by pirates, and his unsuccessful attempt to escape four armed pirates. Today we are happy to hear the US Navy killed three of the four pirates, captured the fourth, and rescued the ship Captain as a result of a surprise attack against the pirates! It's always wonderful news when the good guys win a battle against pirates!
