CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Coast Guard rescue two mariners and a dog after their vessel capsized near the Port Aransas jetties in Port Aransas, Texas, Sunday.

Coast Guard Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi watchstanders received a notification at 7:54 a.m. from the Port Aransas Police Department of a capsized vessel with two people in the water near the jetties.

Watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast and directed the launch of a Sector/Air Station Corpus Christi MH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter aircrew and a Coast Guard Station Port Aransas 45-foot Response Boat–Medium boat crew.

The RB–M crew arrived on scene, recovered the people from the water along with their dog, and transported them to awaiting emergency medical services personnel at Station Port Aransas.

The RB-M, which will eventually replace the Coast Guard’s aging fleet of 41-foot utility boats, is a self-righting, 45-foot aluminum boat with twin diesel engines and water jet propulsion. It includes multiple navigation displays, a wireless crew communication system, an infrared camera, shock mitigating seating, and air conditioning. The RB-M also provides additional safety for the crew. Unlike the 41-foot utility boat, the RB-M has the ability to self-right in the event of a capsize. This feature allows the RB-M to operate in rougher sea conditions.
