Well, well this was done quietly:
NATO has ended its Indian Ocean counter-piracy mission after a sharp fall in attacks, the alliance said on Wednesday, as it shifts resources to deterring Russia in the Black Sea and people smugglers in the Mediterranean.All ships and patrol aircraft have now left the area off the Horn of Africa, where they patrolled since 2009, .....NATO says its "Ocean Shield" operation, as well as European Union and other counter-piracy missions, have significantly reduced attacks, with no ships captured off Somalia since May 2012, down from more than 30 ships at the peak in 2010-11.

The European Union Naval Force (Op Atalanta) is poised to end next month; it only has two ships, one Dutch frigate and a Spanish patrol vessel. Plus a German and a Spanish P3 Orion.


The non-NATO commanded Combined Maritime Forces remain; with thirty-one participants.
