GULF OF ADEN Sep. 20, 2010 : Royal Australian Navy

HMAS Toowoomba Boarding Party conducts a thorough and effective search. The search of the suspect vessel revealed a cache of weapons including a Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher (RPG), six AK47 Assault Rifles, a G3 Assault Rifle and a large quantity of ammunition.

HMAS Toowoomba successfully thwarted a piracy attack by answering a call for assistance and conducting a boarding of a suspect vessel, 50 miles off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden. Late on Sunday night Australian time (September 20), Toowoomba responded to an emergency radio call from the Merchant Vessel BBC Portugal, which reported sighting a boat carrying a group of armed personnel closing at high speed. Under the command of Commander Ivan Ingham, Toowoomba immediately responded to the developing situation by moving to the scene at high speed to investigate and provide assistance.
