Combined rescue operation for distressed motor yacht

The amphibious dock landing ship USS "Pearl Harbor (LSD 52)" assisted the distressed "MAhana" in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Southern California on April 20. 2018. The vessel reported it was taking on water at approximately 10:33 a.m. The "Pearl Harbor", approximately nine nautical miles away from the vessel at the time, coordinated with Coast Guard Sector San Diego and Mission Bay lifeguards during the rescue. A rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) with de-flooding equipment and medical gear launched within 10 minutes of receiving the call. A Coast Guard Sector San Diego MH-60T helicopter was the first on scene and deployed a search and rescue swimmer to assess the vessel and stabilize the water levels. Coast Guard Sector San Diego requested the "Pearl Harbor"’s response team to stand by for further assistance. The Mission Bay lifeguard vessel escorted Mahana and crew back to shore safely.
