Pilots in an SH-60B Sea Hawk helicopter from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light (HSL) 45 observe members of the visit, board, search, and seizure team transport Somali migrants to the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain (CG 57) after being rescued from a disabled skiff. The skiff, originally ferrying 52 passengers, was spotted in distress by Lake Champlain's helicopter pilots while patrolling the area. Lake Champlain is deployed as part of the Boxer Expeditionary Strike Group supporting Maritime Security Operations (MSO) in the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet area of operations.
