USS Bainbridge (DDG 96)
- Since her commissioning in 2005 Bainbridge has been active in the Mediterranean Sea, but most of the attention she has garnered has been as a result of the failed hijacking attempt of the freighter MV Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates in April 2009. After crewmen of the captured cargo vessel managed to retake the ship the pirates retreated, taking the ship's captain hostage on a lifeboat. At present Bainbridge is shadowing the pirates and, with FBI assistance, is negotiating for the safe return of the captive captain.
