USS Philippine Sea Performs MEDEVAC
Just before midnight, USS Philippine Sea's mission received quite the interruption when Commander, Second Fleet contacted her with a search and rescue mission, the second in just six months. In the dark, choppy seas with sustained 35 knot winds, the Philippine Sea was en route to Plymouth, UK to participate in Exercise Joint Warrior, a multinational NATO exercise, when she was alerted by Second Fleet of a dire medical situation onboard a nearby cruise ship.
