KODIAK, Alaska –​ A Coast Guard Air Station Sitka MH-60T Jayhawk aircrew medevac a passenger from the cruise ship Norwegian Encore in Chatham Strait, Alaska, Monday.

The watchstanders from Coast Guard Sector Juneau launched an MH-60T Jayhawk Medium-Range Recovery Helicopter aircrew to perform the medical evacuation.
