 On 18 April 2009, Royal Navy personnel operating from "Wave Knight" in the Gulf of Aden managed to intercept and fend off two pirate attacks involving the vessels and using the ship's armament.At 0800, the ship received a distress call from MV "Handy Tankers Magic" indicating that they were under attack by pirates and requesting assistance.Arriving on the scene, "Wave Knight" gave chase to the pirate skiff and using its weapons as cover, held it and its 'mother boat' until the Dutch naval vessel HNLMS "De Zeven Provincien" arrived.
