THE Royal Navy saved the crew of a ship after it was hijacked by pirates – the second rescue in a week.
HMS Somerset’s Merlin helicopter tracked the fishing boat off Somalia before Royal Marines were ordered to board.
The pirates, armed with machine guns, surrendered without firing a shot. They were held while the Pakistani crew was freed.
Earlier this week another Royal Navy team freed the crew of an Italian bulk carrier after finding a message in a bottle SOS.
