Above is a video about the seizure of Motor Tanker Bella 1/aka Marinera on January 7.

We talked about the seizure earlier but this has a lot more detail. I am not familiar with the source so I can’t say how reliable they are but I think you will find it plausible though the telling is a bit too RAH-RAH for my taste. Not all the video is appropriate.

According to the video, the boarding party was exclusively Coast Guard fast roping from an H-65 with Special Ops providing backup in the form of teams on two MH-6 “Little Bird” helicopters that also launched from USCGC Munro. That would be surprising. Would love to get comments from someone who was there.

Thanks to David for bringing this to my attention.
