051107-N-2806F-001 Coast of Somalia (Nov. 7, 2005) Ð The remnants of a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) shown after striking the cruise liner Seabourn Spirit during a Nov. 5 attack by pirates near the coast of Somalia. Personnel assigned to the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eight (EODMU-8), Detachment 4, boarded Seabourn Spirit while at sea to remove the RPG. The technicians determined that the object in question was actually the remains of a rocket motor and not the warhead from the RPG, which had detonated on impact.
