    Austin Hanbury, USNS Safeguard (T-ARS 50) third officer, and a native of Dalhart, Texas, assists a local resident with donning a flack jacket during a shipboard tour here. The Safeguard-class salvage ship was invited for a port visit by city representatives, and while here, ship personnel are assisting in community service projects and conducting tours. Onagawa was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake, March 11, which triggered a massive tsunami that swept through the area. Safeguard is the first U.S. Navy ship to visit the area since Operation Tomodachi concluded.
