The first of three men that were rescued from the water of the Gulf of Aden
GULF OF ADEN (Nov. 17, 2009) The first of three men that were rescued from the water of the Gulf of Aden is helped aboard the guided-missile cruiser USS Chosin (CG 65), which rescued the men after a civilian cargo vessel spotted them and called 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.
