A US Navy vessel rescued two Iranian mariners on November 27 from a fishing vessel after it was adrift for eight days in the Gulf of Oman, according to the US Navy.
Dry cargo ship, the 40,298-displacement ton (full) USNS Charles Drew responded after the Combined Maritime Forces, an international maritime coalition headquartered in Bahrain, received a distress call.
The Charles Drew, with a mixed civilian and naval crew, arrived on the scene and provided food, water and medical care.
"This is what we are trained and ready to do," said US Naval Forces Central Command, US 5th Fleet, and Combined Maritime Forces Cdr Brad Cooper.
"As professional mariners, we have a responsibility to help people in need at sea." said Cdr Cooper.
