Last week, the crew of the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Winston S. Churchill rescued a disabled Iranian dhow in the Arabian Sea.
While she was on patrol in the region under the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) maritime security initiative, Churchill encountered encountered a drifting Iranian-flagged dhow. The down signaled to Churchill via flashing light that it was in distress.
When hailed over bridge-to-bridge radio, the vessel’s crew explained that their engine would not start because of a dead battery. They said that they had run out of food and water while adrift.
