GULF OF ADEN (Nov. 17, 2009) The last of three men that were clinging to a piece of wood in the Gulf of Aden is helped aboard a rigid hull inflatable boat from the guided-missile cruiser USS Chosin (CG 65). The men were spotted by a civilian cargo ship, which radioed for assistance. Chosin is the flagship of Combined Joint Task Force 151, a multinational task force established to conduct counter-piracy operations under a mission-based mandate to actively deter, disrupt, and supress piracy off the coast of Somalia.
