HH-65C Accident on Lake Huron

Guardians,

During the evening of 20 Apr, one of our HH-65C helicopters from Air Station Detroit crashed during a night-time training evolution in the southern portion of Lake Huron.

There were three Guardians on the aircraft and thankfully all them survived the incident. The helicopter was training with a small boat from Station Port Huron when the accident occurred.

Here is more information on the incident. As we continue to protect, defend, and save the maritime public, ensure safety is paramount and keep a weather eye on your shipmates.
