GULF OF TADJOURA (June 17, 2021) U.S. Navy Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron Eleven (MSRON-11), based at Camp Lemonnier, pulls away from USNS Patuxent (T-AO-201) with four Somalis who were rescued from a stranded fishing boat, June 17, 2021. Two MSRON-11 patrol boats pulled along side of the Henry J. Kaiser-class underway replenishment oiler USNS Patuxent (T-AO-201) and received the fishermen before transferring them over to the Djiboutian Coast Guard patrol boat, Damerjog. The four Somali fishermen were stranded at sea after a mechanical failure and were without food or water for several days. Camp Lemonnier is an operational installation that enables U.S., allied and partner nation forces to be where and when they are needed to ensure security in Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia.
