Coast Guard helicopter hovers over scene as Coast Guard and others fight fire aboard the coastal tanker Dynafuel and the Norwegian freighter Fernview following collision at sea ten Miles off New Bedford, Mass., this morning.
1963 Coast Guard air and surface rescue craft responded immediately when the freighter Fernview and the tanker Dynafuel collided in Buzzards Bay. Fernview sliced into Dynafuel’s stern. While helicopters removed the injured aboard the stricken ships, surface craft extinguished the fires. Coast Guard units had completed the evacuation of all aboard the disabled vessels before the Fernview backed away and Dynafuel capsized and sank. Five crewmen aboard the tanker were lnjured but all 62 aboard the two vessels were rescued.

1990 PSU 302, staffed by reservists from Cleveland, Ohio, arrived in the Persian Gulf in support of operation Desert Shield. They were stationed in Bahrain.
1991 An HH-60J Jayhawk from Aviation Training Center Mobile participated in a search and rescue operation off the coast of Alabama, the first such case conducted by an HH-60J, which was just beginning to enter Coast Guard service.
2008 The Coast Guard received a report of a homemade migrant vessel heading north towards the Marquesas Keys 30 miles west of Key West, Florida. An RB-M was dispatched from Sector Key West to intercept the vessel, with a smaller special purpose boat capable of making shallow water pick-ups following the RB-M to the scene. A Special Purpose Craft – Law Enforcement (SPC-LE) was also dispatched to assist. The RB-M arrived first on scene to find the small, outboard-driven vessel about two miles southwest of the Marquesas Keys making an attempt to go ashore. Though the vessel proved to be fairly agile and was quickly closing the distance to shore, the RB-M used its speed and maneuverability to “shoulder” the vessel, keeping it in deeper water until it could be disabled. Using a boat hook, the RB-M crew disconnected the fuel line to the outboard engine, rendering it inoperable. The fourteen migrants aboard were then safely removed from the vessel.
