Way to Go Indian Navy!!!!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 19 Nov 08

The crew of Indian Naval ship, INS Tabar relieved the world of a mass of human debris, while rescuing another ship from an attack by pirates. Piracy has become a huge problem on the high sees. I hope other nations follow suit...

soccermom I haven't seen much news lately, so is this the same ship that was already hijacked that they rescued? or did they thwart another attempt? Either way you slice it they need to be commended. There was a lot of discussion on talk radio about what country was...

McCain Supporters Booing

donna22 @donna22 (1116) 5 Nov 08
