The scuttlebutt comes out on the rescue care of Gunny Bob.
Breaks Wild ‘n Crazy Inside Scoop On Rescue of Captain Phillips
Using Skype technology from his home library, the Gunny appeared live on FOX News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” program with hosts Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly.
The Gunny’s awesome connections to the highest tiers of the Department of Defense allowed him to tell the real story of how one pirate ended up on the Bainbridge, why the pirates really allowed the lifeboat to be towed away from shore by the Bainbridge, the details of the 007-style MCADS insertion used by the SEALs, and more.
Mere hours after the rescue, the Gunny got a call from a very trusted source who had the inside scoop on some fascinating events:
The pirate who lived was not brought aboard the Bainbridge for negotiations, as some media outlets falsely reported; he asked to come aboard so he could make a phone call to his family. The ship agreed and sent a RHIB (rigid-hulled inflatable boat) for him. He got in and was brought to the ship, where he was drinking and eating and using the phone and waving at his pals. This was a tactical decision, i.e., one less pirate to deal with if the shoot order was given.
The ship asked the pirates via LRAD (long-range acoustic device) loudspeaker if they could send a RHIB over to tie the lifeboat to the ship. The pirates agreed. Why did they agree? The pirates were told that the region of Somalia they were drifting toward was not their clan area and that the other clansmen were waiting to kill them and take the hostage. The pirates agreed.
The other pirates who were coming in 4 motherships with 60-70 hostages called the Bainbridge and actually asked if the ship would give them a bearing and range to the lifeboat! The ship said no, of course.
The SEALs inserted via flawless MCADS (maritime craft aerial delivery system). They fired from the ship’s fantail, were hard-wired in for the shoot command, and did so when they all got shot opportunities simultaneously.
