A sight you don’t see often... a Coast Guard boat being pulled By the Navy. The CG boat was damaged while trying to rescue another ship damaged by a storm the night before. The civilian boat was pulled to shore by another CG boat, while this one waited to also be pulled to shore. The CG send a second boat out to retrieve this one. The ship doing the pulling was the USS Forrest Sherman. I just happened to be on board with the rescue happened.
