I wonder if that was one of the original multipurposes envisioned when the keel was laid down for the BHR!

If you've never had the pleasure of being at sea level when a US warship is in your near proximity, you can't imagine the intimidation they impose.

What's ironic is that if the HMS Serapis were afloat today, it would be supporting the USS Bonhomme Richard in the same mission.
It's funny how old enemies become drinking buddies.

amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (BHR) (LHD 6) chased two pirate boats away from a group of fishing dhows in the Persian Gulf. To be a fly on the wall and hear what the crew of the pirate ships were saying......
How does one say, "HOLY SH!T!" in local tongue?
Ha. Let's see Allah get you out of this one!
Even better, given that the BHR is not the most suitable ship to be 'chasing' down anything, how about a close-in inspection. Say a fly over of 5 or 6 Apache gunships.
One flying backwards - in front of the bad guy, one with his nose on the bad guys butt, and the other gunships on either side.
Ha Ha. Let me hear you pray to Allah, boy!!!!
I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!
Love it.

I sent a couple of boxes of paperback novel to the USS Bonhomme Richard 2 years ago - one of the men aboard her is a FREEPER - since he contacted me via. Freep mail - I'll have to look at the old stuff and check out who it was.....

Why didn't they lauch Cobra's and finish the pirates off? FWIW some sailors who serve(d) on her call her "Bonny Dick".
