From what I understand, Michelle Howard was commanding Task Force 151 in the Gulf of Aden in 2009 when Somali pirates captured the cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama. US Navy SEALs killed the three pirates holding Maersk Captain Richard Phillips hostage. The incident was portrayed in the 2013 movie 'Captain Phillips' starring Tom Hanks.

The movie only vaguely represented what happened..... :) Capt Phillips was not well liked by his crew - and they regarded him a bit like Capt BlighOriginally posted by Minskaya View PostComment

No, he meant puppies. In this country, puppies seem to be more highly regarded than kittens. Late in life, I have acquired both. I've always had dogs, but not cats because I was deathly allergic to them. I seem to have outgrown that problem, and my daughter brought two male kittens, both black as the ace of spades, into the house, and man, are they ever an education! I'm having a ball with them as they mature (I had them neutered right away so no spraying). They are truly pieces of work, and give credence to the adage that "dogs have master, but cats have staff."Originally posted by Doktor View Post
