On 5 March 2011, ''Bulkeley'' was involved in rescuing a Japanese [[oil tanker]], {{MV|Guanabara}}, from Somali pirates while on duty with [[Combined Task Force 151]] off the coast of [[Oman]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/06/africa.pirates.foiled/index.html?hpt=T2 |title=U.S. Navy frees ship from suspected Indian Ocean pirates |access-date=20 June 2015 |date=6 March 2011 |work=CNN |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150629183932/http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/06/africa.pirates.foiled/index.html?hpt=T2 |archive-date=29 June 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Three of the pirates were tried and convicted in Japan, the fourth was turned over to juvenile authorities, as it was determined that he was a minor.<ref>{{cite news |title= 3 pirates indicted over attack on Japan-run tanker in Indian Ocean |url= http://www.japantoday.com/category/crime/view/3-pirates-to-be-indicted-over-attack-on-japan-run-tanker-in-indian-ocean |newspaper= Japan Today|date= 1 April 2011|access-date=3 April 2011}} {{dead link|date=June 2015}}</ref>

On 16 May 2011, ''Bulkeley'' responded to a mayday call from the Panamanian flagged [[very large crude carrier]] ''Artemis Glory'' by dispatching a [[Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk|Seahawk]] [[helicopter]] (from HSL 48) to its position. Seeing that a piratical skiff carrying four men was firing upon  ''Artemis Glory'', the Seahawk investigated the skiff. The pirates opened fire on the helicopter with small arms and were summarily neutralized by crew served weapons from the helicopter in self-defense. The helicopter then withdrew without any casualties to its own crewmembers or that of  ''Artemis Glory''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://combinedmaritimeforces.com/2011/05/17/uss-bulkeley-protects-mv-artemis-glory-from-pirate-attack/|title=USS Bulkeley Protects MV Artemis Glory From Pirate Attack|work=Combined Maritime Forces|date=17 May 2011|access-date=20 June 2015|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402152754/http://combinedmaritimeforces.com/2011/05/17/uss-bulkeley-protects-mv-artemis-glory-from-pirate-attack/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
