The Navy provided aid to six ill Iranian mariners on Nov. 30 in the Persian Gulf, according to a Navy release.
The destroyer Hopper and cruiser Monterey were responding to a distress call from the Iranians via bridge-to-bridge radio, the release said. The Hopper sent a rigid hull inflatable boat to provide aid to the Iranian boat while a helicopter from the Monterey provided watch.
The Hopper and Monterey are part of Central Command's U.K.-led Commander, Task Force 50 under the Royal Navy HMS Ocean.
