Summary[edit]

Description
English: HMS Portland Intercepts and disarms an alleged piracy gang on 2 June 2009, whilst conducting counterpiracy operations in the Gulf of Aden as part of Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) Task Force 151.

The Royal Navy Type 23 Frigate HMS Portland (F79) detected, intercepted and boarded two suspicious skiffs preventing a possible pirate attack. In coordination with a Spanish maritime patrol aircraft, Portland identified, pursued and subsequently conducted a boarding of the two vessels where they were found articles that indicated the skiff had been involved or was about to conduct an act of piracy.
