Eylül 26, 2013USS San Jacinto Aids Turkish Mariner

Guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56) transported a Turkish mariner to U.S. Navy Hospital Sigonella following a request for assistance from Turkish Navy warship TCG Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Paşa (A579). San Jacinto transiting on the Mediterranean Sea was hailed by the Turkish warship who requested transportation assistance for a mariner who required immediate medical attention. The call was received at more than 130 nautical miles away. The patient was transported from Cezayiril Gazi Hasan Pasa to San Jacinto where a helicopter was standing by to transport him to U.S. Naval Hospital Sigonella, Italy, for medical attention. The patient is in stable condition at the facility. “The crew of San Jacinto did a fantastic job,” said Rear Adm. Kevin Sweeney, commander, Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HST CSG). Additionally, I was very impressed with the professionalism of the crew of TCG Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Paşa.”
