Seaman Alex Runyan (left) and Seaman Sean Stanislaw, both crewmembers assigned to coastal buoy tender USCGC Frank Drew (WLM 557), attach the inhaul to the buoy chain to bring the sinker to the surface for inspection April 29, 2025, in Portsmouth, Virginia. The inhaul, which requires two people due to the inherent dangers when working with live chain, provides a mechanical advantage for bringing the chain and sinker aboard the ship.
