NAIROBI, Kenya - The U.S. Navy was tracking a hijacked Japanese tanker off the coast of Somalia on Thursday with the aim of removing the attackers from the ship.
The Navy came to the vessel's aid this week when a warship destroyed pirate skiffs tied to the Japanese boat.
Naval personnel also boarded a North Korean vessel to treat crew members and pirates wounded during an uprising that returned the ship to its rightful control. One hijacker was killed, and the others remain detained on board, including three with gunshot wounds.
In the second paragraph, I want to know what's a vessel's aid.
In the third paragraph, I want to know the meaning of boarded a north korean vessel, rightful control.
