美軍驅逐艦為追蹤一艘被索馬利亞海盜劫持的日本貨船，一路追進索馬利亞水域。
近年來，美國軍艦在追逐索馬利亞海盜時，基本上會追到12海浬海域外就停止，不過，這次配備有彈道飛彈的驅逐艦在獲得索馬利亞政府許可後，一路進入索馬利亞海域。
這艘載有化學品「苯」的日本貨船「黃金丸」遭索馬利亞海盜登船劫持，隨後貨船在(當地時間)星期天晚上發出求救訊號，在附近的一艘美國軍艦隨即前往並開火，將海盜繫在貨船旁邊的小船擊沉，不過，開砲時，美方並不知道貨船上載運的易燃物「苯」。知道後，美艦就不再輕易開火，而是一路尾隨追蹤。……
最好驅逐艦有辦法配備彈道飛彈啦！！
全世界沒有一個國家像這樣！！
人家西嗯嗯明明就說是” The guided-missile destroyer”。
還有，”the Panamanian-flagged Golden Mori”怎麼會是”日本貨船「黃金丸」”？"Maru"才翻成「丸」好嗎？
船主是日本人沒錯，可是船是巴拿馬籍勒。船籍和船主國籍，不一樣的啦～
U.S. destroyer pursuing hijacked ship in Somali waters, military says

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A U.S. destroyer has entered Somali territorial waters in pursuit of a Japanese-owned ship loaded with benzene that was hijacked by pirates over the weekend, military officials said Monday.
The destroyer USS Porter, shown in 2006, sank pirate skiffs tied to the stern of the hijacked vessel.
The guided-missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke entered Somali waters with the permission of the troubled transitional government in Mogadishu, U.S. officials said. In recent years, warships have stayed outside the 12-mile limit when chasing pirates.
The ongoing operation was confirmed to CNN by two military officials familiar with the details.
Gunmen aboard two skiffs hijacked the Panamanian-flagged Golden Mori off the Socotra archipelago, near the Horn of Africa, said Andrew Mwangura, a spokesman for Kenya's Seafarers' Assistance Programme.
The Golden Mori radioed for help Sunday night. The Burke's sister ship, the USS Porter, opened fire and sank the pirate skiffs tied to its stern before the Burke took over shadowing the hijacked vessel.
When the shots were fired, it was not known the ship was filled with highly flammable benzene. U.S. military officials indicate there is a great deal of concern about the cargo because it is so sensitive.......
guided-missile和ballistic missile 差別可大了，
