USS Momsen (DDC 92) and USS Bunker Hill (CG 52) disrupted a pirate attack on Panamanian-flagged merchant ship Duqm in.February in the Gulf of Oman. The Duqm had reported that pirates were attempting to get aboard. The U.S. Navy said Momsen and Bunker Hill responded to the distress signal and caused the pirates' skiffs to flee. Momsen and Bunker Hill then tracked the skiffs' movement and located the mother ship. Consistent with the U.N. and U.S. rules, Momsen destroyed the two skiffs, the Navy said.
