USS Gonzalez Assist Stranded Iranians

This is from CentCom:

The guided missile destroyer USS Gonzalez (DDG 66), currently deployed to the Arabian Gulf in support of maritime security operations (MSO), rescued six Iranian mariners Feb. 28 after they had been adrift for 10 days.
Gonzalez’s bridge team first spotted the crippled dhow while conducting MSO in the Central Arabian Gulf. Once the destroyer’s watchstanders identified the distressed vessel, the ship immediately changed its course to render assistance. The Iranians explained that their dhow’s engine and rudder failed Feb. 18.
“Patrolling warships are sometimes called on for humanitarian interventions,” said Cmdr. Robert D. Randall, the ship’s commanding officer.

Good job, sailors, and many thanks!
