That boat picture is explained below:

Picture released by the German Bundeswehr on March 4, 2009 shows a pirates boat before it was approached by Bundeswehr soldiers in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia on March 3, 2009, after the German frigate Rheinland-Pfalz had received a distress call from a German-owned container ship saying she was under fire from pirates armed with bazookas and machine guns. The frigate then dispatched a helicopter which together with another chopper from the US naval ship Monterey stopped the attempted attack by firing warning shots. German soldiers boarded the pirates vessel and took the nine into custody, the German military said. The container ship in question was the MV Courier, sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda.
