Svmuu News: U.S. Central Command: U.S. Marines departed from the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA 7) via helicopter, traversed the Arabian Sea, and boarded and seized the "M/V Touska". The Marines boarded this Iranian-flagged vessel via fast-roping on April 20th, after the guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance disabled the "Touska"'s propulsion system. This action followed the merchant vessel's failure to comply with multiple warnings from U.S. forces over a period of six hours. (Jin10)
