Petty Officer 2nd Class Matthew Rishovd, top, works with Petty Officer 2nd Class Kody Egelhoff, both assigned to high speed vessel 2 Swift, to repair a Pirata bouy for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Fixing these bouys is part of HSV 2 Swift's mission for the Africa Partnership Station to help the NOAA collect weather data that may help predict hurricanes and other inclement weather. APS is a part of the Navy's new cooperative maritime strategy, in a multi-national effort to bring the latest training and techniques to maritime professionals in nine West African countries, to address common threats of illegal fishing, smuggling and human trafficking. In addition to maritime training, APS will perform more than 20 humanitarian projects in the region.
