Thomas Borsen, a Danish marine, cleans his machine gun as the HDMS Thetis warship, escorting food aid donated by the Wold Food Programme (WFP) to Somalia, leaves the Kenyan sea port of Mombasa March 18, 2008. Bristling with heavy machineguns and computerised grenade launchers, the HDMS Thetis with its crew of Danish marines is shepherding vital food aid through one of the world's most dangerous waterways.
