A Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules aircrew flies over the 650-foot Sincerity Ace on fire 1,800 nautical miles northwest of Oahu in the Pacific Ocean, Dec. 31, 2018, and drops supplies to the 944-foot bulk carrier Genco Augustus. Responders faced 17 to 20-foot seas, white caps, and significant winds making spotting survivors and rescuing them very difficult. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by HC-130 Hercules 1720/Released)
