A Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter medevacs a patient from a cruise ship, approximately 300 miles offshore from Fort Morgan, Alabama, April 29, 2023.
The Coast Guard medevaced a 76-year-old man from a cruise ship Saturday approximately 300 miles offshore Fort Morgan, Alabama.
Coast Guard Sector Mobile watchstanders
received a call at approximately 4:31 a.m. from the crew of the Carnival Dream cruise ship
requesting a medevac for a passenger aboard experiencing heart attack-like symptoms.
The Sector Mobile watchstanders coordinated
the launch of Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile HC-144 Ocean Sentry
and Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-60 Jayhawk aircrews to assist.
The Jayhawk aircrew arrived on scene and lowered their rescue swimmer.
While hoisting a cruise ship nurse, a severe squall caused the aircrew to back off from the ship.
The helicopter then encountered a severe downwind,
prompting the aircrew to recover the aircraft close to the water's surface. B
oth the Jayhawk helicopter and Ocean Sentry aircraft returned to base due to weather.
A second Air Station New Orleans Jayhawk helicopter aircrew later returned to the scene,
hoisted the patient and rescue swimmer,
and transferred the patient to awaiting emergency medical services personnel at University Medical Center.
