The crew of the USCGC Oliver Henry (WPC 1140) tow a disabled 22-foot fiberglass boat with six fishermen in good condition aboard about 11 nautical miles off Satawal, Federated States of Micronesia, on Aug. 18, 2024. The vessel, which had been adrift after experiencing engine failure, was towed to Satawal Atoll by the Oliver Henry. The Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam watch received a distress alert from a 406MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) registered in the United States at approximately 9 a.m. local time on Aug. 17. The beacon, lent out by a Yap-based owner to outer island fishermen, was activated, signaling potential distress about 27 nautical miles north northeast of Satawal.
