Hostile seas : a mission in pirate waters / JL Savidge. by Savidge, J. L. (Jennifer L.) Dundurn Press, [2013] Call #: 359.00971 S267h Subjects Savidge, J. L. (Jennifer L.)   Canada. Royal Canadian Navy -- Officers -- Biography.   Canada. Royal Canadian Navy -- Women -- Biography.   Ville de Québec (Frigate) -- Anecdotes.   Piracy -- Somalia.   Hijacking of ships -- Somalia.   Canada -- History, Naval -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781459719378 (pbk.) 1459719379 (pbk.) Description:  272 p. : ill. ; 23 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "In late 2008, piracy around the Horn of Africa escalated dramatically, threatening the passage of international merchant ships through a critical waterway. Not only were ships carrying goods to North America and Europe affected, but also vessels entrusted with food aid for a Somali population suffering the effects of prolonged drought and civil war. In response, the Canadian government redirected naval frigate HMCS Ville de Québec from the Mediterranean Sea to Somali waters to escort pirate-menaced vessels carrying World Food Programme aid to Mogadishu. Told from the perspective of a ship's officer, Hostile Seas is a personal account of life on board a deployed navy ship that explores the tension between military imperatives and individual needs as a succession of hijackings brings into focus the reality of Somali piracy."--From publisher.
