Sinking of ship/cruise ship off of Somalia???

[Steamboatin]

This is a question concerning only part of a news story on TV tonight that I only heard the last part of. So I am lacking a lot of basic facts and general knowledge. That is what I am asking help in minding out about.

 

The partial story on TV tonight that I heard was of a boat (I am almost sure the guy said it was a cruise boat) but am not 100% sure as that is when I tuned into the TV program.

 

The part that I heard after tunning into a story in progress was that a boat/crusie boat had sunk in the general area of the waters off of Somalia with 100 or so people missing. That among those searching for survivors was a US Navy vessel and it's helicopters.

 

Can anyone fill me on the correct and complete details of what I partially heard on TV tonight.

 

Thanks

Yes that is probably what I had partially heard them talking about.

 

Thanks for the info.

It was a dinner cruise ferry, off the coast of Bahrain.
