NEW ORLEANS — Two Coast Guard crews, from a RB-M and a MH-60T, rescue a 39-year-old male crewmember from motor vessel approximately 40 nautical miles offshore Destin, Florida, Sunday.​

U.S. Coast Guard Sector Mobile watchstanders received a distress call over VHF-FM channel 16 at 11:15 a.m. from the crew aboard the motor vessel No Pressure stating a crewmember was suffering from heart attack-like symptoms.

USCG watchstanders coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-60T Jayhawk Medium-Range Recovery Helicopter (MRR) aircrew and a Coast Guard Station Destin 45-foot Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) boatcrew to assist.

Meanwhile, a U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Training Center Mobile HC-144 Ocean Sentry aircrew self-diverted from a training mission to establish radio communication with the No Pressure.​
