Boarding team members from the guided-missile frigate USS Carr rendered assistance to a United Arab Emirates-flagged fishing dhow in the Central Persian Gulf Sept. 26. The fishing dhow was having engine problems and an engineering team from Carr was able to get the dhow running again. Carr also provided the dhow�s crew with fresh water, food and a medical kit. Carr is currently in the Central Persian Gulf conducting Interaction Patrols (IPATS). IPATS are an element of Maritime Security Operations, which help generate support and awareness amongst commercial vessels sailing in the region of the coalition�s efforts to ensure a safe and secure maritime environment. Coalition forces also conduct MSO under international maritime conventions to ensure security and safety in international waters so that commercial shipping and fishing can occur safely in the region. Carr is on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of MSO as part of the Kearsarge Expeditionary Strike Group. (U.S. Navy Photo/Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Oscar Espinoza)
