Two former Navy SEALs found dead aboard 'Captain Phillips' ship | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
Two American security officers and former Navy SEALs have been found dead on board the Maersk Alabama , the cargo ship whose hijacking by Somali pirates inspired the film "Captain Phillips," Seychelles Island police said Wednesday.
PIRatE Lab's insight:

This storied pirated vessel continues to make news.  I had not realized that this same ship had been continually attacked by pirates. One has to wonder if the unfortunate deaths of these former SEALs had something to do with the ship's history/infamy.
