SATAWAL ATOLL, Federated States of Micronesia - The crew of the USCGC Oliver Henry (WPC 1140) visit with residents of Satawal, Federated States of Micronesia, after safely returning six rescued fishermen and their 22-foot fiberglass boat to the community on Aug. 18, 2024. The vessel, which had been adrift after experiencing engine failure, was towed to Satawal Atoll by Oliver Henry, who arrived roughly two hours later. The Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam watch received a distress alert from a 406MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) registered in the United States at approximately 9 a.m. local time on Aug. 17. The beacon, lent out by a Yap-based owner to outer island fishermen, was activated, signaling potential distress about 27 nautical miles north northeast of Satawal.
