A Navy crew rescued half a dozen mariners from Micronesia who had been stranded for more than a week without power.
The 23-foot skiff was reported missing on Nov. 3, after it lost power and was overdue near Oneop Atoll, Chuuk State, in the Federated States of Micronesia, according to a statement from the Navy. The “Tridents” of Patrol Squadron VP-26 located the disabled ship after nearly four days of searching the ocean for it.
