French, Canadian, and US forces, alongside local responders, carried out a joint search and rescue operation on July 10, 2023, near Guam, western Pacific Ocean.
On July 10, 2023, close to Guam in the western Pacific Ocean, French, Canadian, and US military conducted a coordinated search and rescue operation with the assistance of local rescuers.
The mission's objective was to rescue the crew and passengers of a sinking ship in the Marianas Archipelago, some 30 nautical miles northwest of Rota.
The skipper of a 21-foot (6-meter) centre console fishing boat with 11 passengers on board made a distress call to the US Coast Guard (USCG) Forces.
“Due to the lack of GPS onboard and the inability to use a cell phone to acquire a GPS position, the situation became even more critical,” the US Coast Guard explained in a press release. Consequently, the watchstanders alerted nearby mariners and requested assistance from aircraft crews.
