Summary edit

Description
English: Gulf of Aden (Dec. 9, 2002) -- Spanish Sailors aboard the Santa Maria-class Frigate Navarra (F-85) man provide cover for boarding teams, during a hostile boarding of the North Korean vessel, So San. So San attempted to evade capture, forcing Navarra to fire warning shots across its bow. Special Forces troops then conducted a hostile boarding by helicopter and small boat. The boarding team later found 15 disassembled Scud missiles concealed by bags of cement, bound for Yemen. U.S. military experts deployed in the area were called in to further examine the cargo. U.S. Intelligence sources had been tracking the vessel since it departed a North Korean port in mid-November. Photo released by Spanish Defense Ministry.
