PORTSMOUTH, Va. — A Coast Guard MH-65D Dolphin aircrew medevac an injured 60-year-old man Sunday from a vessel nearly 104 nautical miles east of Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Watchstanders with Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay received a notification from the 31-foot pleasure craft, Reely, stating a 60-year-old man fell aboard the vessel and reportedly injured his back.

The U.S. Coast Guard watchstanders directed the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City HC-130 Hercules airplane crew, a Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City MH-65D Dolphin Short-Range Recovery Helicopter (SRR) aircrew and diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Tahoma crew to assist.

The USCGC Tahoma crew arrived on scene and launched an Over-the-Horizon smallboat crew with a health service technician aboard to provide medical care.
