USS Bainbridge is the destroyer that came to the rescue in April 2009 of the freighter Alabama that had been boarded and attacked by Somali pirates off the coast of Somalia. That was a perfectly named ship for dealing with pirates because that vessel is named for William Bainbridge who sailed with Stephen Decatur against the Barbary pirates in 1804.
