Action of 3 June 2007 The Action of 3 June 2007 occurred after a United States Navy dock landing ship attacked pirates hijacking a freighter . Background . The rise of the Islamic Courts Union in Somalia had stopped the spread of piracy in the region with its following of strict Islamic law punishing pirates harshly . When the Ethiopian and Somali government forces overran the ICU , a lack of strict enforcement allowed the pirates to rebound and once again prey upon shipping in the region by early 2007 . Events . The USS " Carter Hall " responded to a distress call after the capture of the Danish ship " Danica White " by pirates . Three pirate skiffs had boarded and seized the vessel . The " Carter Hall " ordered the pirates to cease and desist but was ignored . She then began to fire warning shots with small arms across the bow of the " Danica White " to no avail . The pirates merely continued on their course and ignored the US Naval vessel . The " Carter Hall " then opened fire upon the pirate skiffs using her 25 mm cannon as well as smaller caliber guns . After setting the three skiffs alight and destroying them , the pirates fled into Somali territorial waters , preventing the American vessel from giving further chase , as they no longer had the authority to do so under international law . After much negotiation the pirates finally released the ship and crew to the " Commandant Blaison " ( F793 ) and the " Lamotte - Picquet " ( D645 ) on 22 August 2007 . The pirates had demanded 1 . 5 million dollars ransom in exchange for the release , but it is unclear what amount was actually paid . The crew returned home safely to Denmark on the twenty - eighth after 83 days of captivity .

However , that is just the beginning of the ' menagerie ' which also includes the kangaroo and dolphins . Currently , the Elgin Military Museum is in the process of acquiring an Oberon Class Cold War Submarine , HMCS Ojibwa ( S72 ) . At just under 300 feet long and five storeys high , she will be the largest artifact in the collection . As the city of St . Thomas is landlocked , HMCS " Ojibwa " will be the primary artifact in a satellite ‘ sub station ’ of the museum to be located in Port Burwell , Ontario on Lake Erie . The submarine is expected to be moved from Halifax , Nova Scotia to Port Burwell in 2012 . Affiliations . The Museum is affiliated with : CMA , CHIN , OMMC and Virtual Museum of Canada .
