English: 051107-N-2806F-001 Coast of Somalia (Nov. 7, 2005) – The remnants of a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) shown after striking the cruise liner Seabourn Spirit during a Nov. 5 attack by pirates near the coast of Somalia. Personnel assigned to the U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eight (EODMU-8), Detachment 4, boarded Seabourn Spirit while at sea to remove the RPG. The technicians determined that the object in question was actually the remains of a rocket motor and not the warhead from the RPG, which had detonated on impact.
Deutsch: Die Überreste eines Panzerfaustgeschosses, das bei einem Piratenangriff am 5. November 2005 vor der Küste Somalias auf dem Kreuzfahrtschiff Seebourn Spirit eingeschlagen ist. Soldaten einer amerikanischen Kampfmittelräumdiensteinheit (EODMU-8), Detachment 4, wurden zur Entschärfung der Granate an Bord geholt. Es handelt sich um im Schiffsrumpf verbliebene Teile des Antriebs einer Panzerfaust (rocket propelled grenade) und nicht um Reste des beim Aufschlag detonierten Sprengsatzes (Hohlladungsgeschoss).
Français : 051107-N-2806F-001 Côtes de Somalie (7 Nov. 2005) – Les restes d'une roquette (type RPG) après l'attaque du navire de commerce Seabourn Spirit durant le raid du 5 novembre 2005 par des pirates Près des côtes de Somalie. Des membres du 4ème détachement du "U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eight" (EODMU-8, Unité mobile de neutralisation d'explosifs et de déminage de la Marine américaine) ont embarqué à bord du Seabourn Spirit en mer afin de retirer la roquette. Les techniciens ont déterminé que l'objet en question était en fait les restes de la partie propulsive de la roquette et non la charge explosive, qui a détoné à l'impact.
L'orientation de l'image est supposée conforme à l'original (cf source) après observation de l'angle de pénétration de la roquette : Les tirs de RPG sont tendus et non pas courbe, ce qui exclue une pénétration rasante sur le pont d'un navire plus haut que les embarcations des pirates, et confirme une attaque latérale sur les superstructures. |
