    A maritime search and rescue operation is depicted over open ocean waters at dusk or dawn. A fixed-wing turboprop aircraft, consistent with a Coast Guard HC-130 Hercules, flies overhead while a small orange rescue boat attends to what appears to be an inflatable life raft on the water's surface. The scene suggests an active rescue operation with coordinated air and sea assets.

    Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point aircrews and Coast Guard surface assets respond to a vessel fire aboard the Miss Emma about 8 miles off Ko'Olina, Oahu, Sept. 17, 2019. After arriving on the scene, the HC-130 Hercules aircrew was able to vector in a 45-foot Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) from Small Boat Station Honolulu, and the boat crew successfully pulled all seven survivors from a liferaft and ferried them to shore. The USCGC Joseph Gerczak (WPC 1126) recovered the liferaft and remained on scene to ensure that the burning vessel did not become a hazard to local maritime traffic.
