The crew of an HC-130 Hercules airplane from U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point prepare a dewatering pump to be dropped to a simulated vessel in distress during a mass rescue operation off Waianae, Hawaii, July 24, 2019. The exercise, part of a larger weeklong international search and rescue workshop, simulated a commercial inter-island ferry taking on water and sinking during a 70-mile transit between islands with around 80 people onboard. On behalf of the Pacific Search and Rescue Steering Committee, the United States is hosting delegations from more than 15 countries this week in Honolulu to discuss search and rescue throughout the region at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Auxiliarists Bill Melohn and Buzz Paxton/Released)
