On 9/11 a branch of Al-Qaeda in India attempted to raid a ship to help bolster its sagging fortunes.
Unfortunately for these not-so-bright militants, they weren’t raiding an American aircraft carrier after all…and their first ever attack met with disastrous consequences.

Think of the very last thing you’d ever want to attack. Yep a US Navy aircraft carrier, that’d be it. Just think of all the armament and naval personnel, plus the other vessels and military attached to them in the carrier group.
You know, the FIRST clue would be —it DIDN’T have any airplanes on it!!!
I love it!!!
The above picture is not an aircraft carrier, bucko! Aircraft Carriers do not have low pointy decks . This is probably a foreign (not U.S. Navy) frigate, light cruiser or a destroyer. Besides that, I doubt that a pirate could throw a line as high as a carriers deck to scale it. Even if they did have a grappling hook or a line propelling rifle. And even if they were to come to close with their craft it would be sucked under the hull due to negative draw of the ship pass through the water.
