The USCGC Oliver Henry (WPC 1140) crew responded to a SAR case on March 30, 2025, rescuing two distressed mariners from an 18-foot skiff adrift near Namoluk Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) on March 30. After a Caroline Islands Air aircrew located the vessel, the Oliver Henry team arrived on the scene, recovered the survivors, and safely returned them and their skiff to Namoluk, coordinating with local authorities. USCGC Oliver Henry (WPC 1140) crew returned to their homeport in Guam on April 1, 2025, following several months of drydock maintenance in Honolulu, leveraging their 4,844 nautical mile transit back to Guam to conduct operations, respond to a search and rescue (SAR) case, and make history with the first-ever U.S. government vessel to moor at the Republic of Nauru’s newly constructed wharf.
