On Mar 11, 2011, Indian anti-piracy vessels received a distress signal from the "Vancouver Bridge”, which was coming under pirate attack. A Dornier aircraft, in service with the Indian navy, located the hijacked Mozambican f/v “Vega 5”. On spotting the aircraft, the pirates abandoned their attack, and the “Vega 5” attempted to escape from the area. But Indian aircraft continually tracked the vessel, while two Indian ships, the corvette “Khukri” and the fast attack craft “Kalpeni” were sent to intercept the “Vega 5” which was seized the next day.
