The six RAAF F188s again barrelled past the Ocean King but they only drew two missiles. They turned in unison and after doing a long turn high above the ship they soared in, in single file firing their cannon at the deck of the ship. The crew of terrorists scattered with two cut in half by the first pass. They were looking for any kind of cover they could find as they gazed at the departing planes. At the moment that the last plane flew out of site two Sea King helicopters soared over the edge of the ship to a height of twenty metres, firing off a chatter of machine guns with red tracers bouncing like fire crackers off the deck. Suddenly four ropes dropped and SAS troopers wearing body armour, special vision helmets, their automatic weapons draped across their bodies rappelled down the lines.
As the terrorists were turning to meet this attack, the first of the Royal Australian Navy clearance divers lobbed smoke grenades to the deck of the ship. The coloured smoke instantly blocked the vision of the terrorists from the SAS troopers so each man from the four choppers that had now made their appearance, made it to the deck without harm. With nothing but their dive knives the clearance divers entered the smoke, wearing masks and small tubes containing two and a half minutes air. For many of the terrorists their last vision on earth was a black wet-suited figure emerging like some kind of ethereal monster from the smoke, slashing a knife across their throat. Each diver took out at least one man and by the time the smoke cleared twelve terrorists lay on the deck, face up with huge a huge gash across his throat gurgling out the last of his life on the steel deck.
The SAS troopers had shot a killed a further four men with four others wounded and prone on the deck. At this moment Ali appeared at the wheel house bridge wing. He was holding the captain in front of him as a hostage. Two of the SAS troopers instantly took kneeling marksman’s positions. Resting their rifles on deck supports they switched to single shot on their rifle mechanism. These rifles contained sniper scopes and a small infra-red dot showing where the bullet was going to hit. Ali cringed just a little closer to the skipper and called out his demands. “Put your snipers away and let me take one of the RIBs or I will kill this man”
