Nirad Kumar Sinha, a spokesman for the Indian Navy, said an Indian warship, the INS Tabar, encountered a flotilla of three pirate vessels some 320 miles south west of the Omani coast in the Gulf of Aden in a separate incident on Tuesday evening.
    1000 feet! That is an enormous ship to be seized by pirates. If negotiations fail, I guess this will be come the largest pirate ship in world history.
