Coast Guard crews assist disabled fishing vessel off Oregon coast
Coast Guard crews from across two districts worked together to assist three mariners aboard a disabled fishing vessel about 95 miles west of Newport, Oregon, this week. The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Alder, an Air Station Sacramento C-27 Spartan aircrew, an Air Station North Bend MH-60 Jayhawk aircrew, and a Station Yaquina Bay 47-foot Motor Lifeboat (MLB) crew responded to the Defiant, a 97-foot fishing vessel, after it reported at 6:42 a.m. Sunday that it was disabled, adrift and in need of assistance.
