On Apr 5, 2010, the "Rising Sun" was attacked by pirates which had captured the dhow "Faize Osmani", one of eight wooden dhows captured trading between the UAE and Somalia last week. After 10 days in the hands of the pirates, the dhow was used in an attempt to hijack the "Rising Sun" off the coast of Oman . The USS "McFaul" and the Omani warship "Al Sharquiyah" responded to a distress call from the cargo vessel, which was being attacked by small arms and rocket propelled grenades near Salalah, the capital of the southern Omani province of Dhofar. Facing the threat the Navy ships would open fire on the dhow, the crew got scared and jumped in the water. The "Rising Sun", however, continued its voyage.
