    A member of the visit, board, search, and seizure team carries a five-year-old Somali migrant to the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Champlain after being rescued from a disabled skiff. The skiff, originally ferrying 52 passengers, was spotted in distress by Lake Champlain helicopter pilots while patrolling the area. Lake Champlain is deployed as part of the Boxer Expeditionary Strike Group supporting maritime security operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
