- ASTORIA, Ore. The Coast Guard medically evacuated a crewmember from a U.S. Navy submarine off the coast of Wash., Tuesday. The Navy contacted the Coast Guard at 5:50 p.m. to request assistance in transferring a crewmember to a hospital from a submarine. Coast Guard Air Station Astoria, Ore., launched an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew to assist. The rescue helicopter arrived on scene at 7:12 p.m. and hoisted the crewmember by basket from the sail of the submarine. The crewmember was transferred to Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Ore. (U.S. Coast Guard video/Air Station Astoria)
Awesome! great to watch since I was fortunate enough to perform this very same mission while in the Coast Guard back in the days before a video camera was taken every where. Mine was off a Los Ageles class attack sub though.
That looks amazing!
being a civilian and actually going on this exact sub has influenced me to go MM submarine.. i wont name which sub it is.. but its a beast..
She's an Ohio class SSBN fleet ballistic missile nuclear submarine. 558 feet 10 inches from stem to stern, 44 feet across, 18,204.7 tons submerged displacement. The largest submarine (in the Western world, anyway - the Soviet "Typhoon" class [aka Akula, or Project 941]) is slightly shorter but twice as wide). Fun fact: only 10% of the ship's mass is above the waterline when she's surfaced; for every foot you see here, there's nine more underwater.
Amazing!
Wow - they just fit in that conning tower - are they still called that? lol If the guy couldn't climb into the basket, how would they have gotten him in? That is so small...guess they don't use it like in the old days!
I was on that boat when that happened.
that sub is HUGE!!!....
I'll bet she was rocking and rolling sitting parallel with the waves.
@Captus15 perhaps because the coast guard air station was closer then a naval air station...that and this is just another day at the office for the coasties....
Semper Paratus!
