EASTERN PACIFIC OCEAN – Seaman Kristine Kearny, a crewmember aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Sherman, assists her shipmate, Seaman David Edwards, before he is lowered into the ocean for surface swimmer training Jan. 12, 2017. Sherman, homeported in Honolulu, has a number of surface swimmers aboard, and each one is required to enter the water, swim 25 yards, “rescue” the cutter’s Oscar by conducting a buddy tow to the cutter’s small boat, and swim back to the cuter.(FOR RELEASE U.S. Coast Guard photo Chief Warrant Officer Allyson E.T.
