EAST FAYU ISLAND, Micronesia (Aug. 25, 2016) A pair of stranded mariners signal for help by writing "SOS" in the sand as a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft crew from Patrol Squadron (VP) 8 flies over in support of a Coast Guard search and rescue mission. The P-8A crew flew in support of U.S. Coast Guard Sector Guam after AMVER vessel British Mariner reported light signals from an uninhabited island in the state of Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Patrol boat Palikir from Federated States Micronesia is currently en route to conduct rescue operations. VP-8, based in Jacksonville, Fla., is in the midst of a routine deployment to the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)
