The S/V Quest incident occurred in February 2011 when Somali pirates seized the American yacht S/V Quest and four United States citizens. In response the United States Navy, supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, dispatched the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and three other ships with orders to free the hostages. Though American forces were capable of neutralizing the threat, all of the hostages were killed. The S/V Quest was the first American vessel to be captured by Somali pirates since the Maersk Alabama hijacking in 2009.
