A Lone U.S. Navy Supply Ship Lured 130 Somali Pirate Boats to Enter the Trap — Then the Navy SEALs Opened Fire

Somali pirates launched a frenzied attack on a lone U.S. supply ship—but they had no idea how horrific the price would be. At 05:47 a.m., off the coast of Somalia, more than a dozen high-speed skiffs throttled up and closed in on the USNS Ranger, a supply vessel carrying 180,000 gallons of JP-5 fuel, precision munitions, and critical spare parts worth millions of dollars—a floating treasure headed toward U.S. Navy operational lines. With no destroyer escort, no helicopters, no active radar—the Ranger looked like perfect prey, exactly the kind of target the pirates believed they could seize simply by getting alongside.

They accelerated, drawing dozens more skiffs from the shore, then dozens more, until the water around the American ship was packed with roaring engines and white spray. The pirates celebrated what they thought was already theirs, unaware that beneath the dark water a U.S. attack submarine had locked onto targets, and overhead a stealth UAV had marked every skiff.
