Cape St. George
On 31 January 2011, the cruiser "Cape St. George" responded to a distress call from a sinking Iranian dhow by dispatching a rescue team via a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RHIB) ("pictured"). The U.S. naval team attempted to repair the dhow's dewatering pumps, but they were unable to stop the flooding. The Iranian fishermen were brought aboard the "Cape St. George", where they were examined by the medical staff before being transferred to an Iranian customs vessel.
