U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM - A U.S. Navy MH-60S Sea Hawk takes off from the flight deck of USS John Paul Jones (DDG 53) as the guided-missile destroyer supports enforcement of America's ironclad blockade against Iran. As of Oct. 9, U.S. forces have redirected 133 commercial vessels to ensure compliance. https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2108618682016686109
U.S. Coast Guard @USCG - Video: With the remnants of Hurricane Isaias still working through, storms continuing across the Pacific, and heavy-weather season settling in across the Northwest, a lot of mariners are checking the forecast and making a plan. ⚓ Here’s one worth having on board: a registered 406 MHz beacon. July 2024, 200 nautical miles from Palau: the 154-foot yacht Black Pearl is stranded. A satellite alert puts a position on a watchstander’s screen, and the crew of USCGC Oliver Henry (WPC 1140) goes straight to them and tows them home. A position, not a search area. That’s what a beacon does. Carry one. Register it. Use it early. 🔗 https://beaconregistration.noaa.gov/RGDB/index https://sarday.406.org/ #GlobalSARDay #SAR #CospasSarsat #406MHz #RegisterYourBeacon #USCG
