COOltDsKATSOH AND
EFFICIENCY SHOWN
IN 03 RESCUE DRILL
The U. S. Coast Guard is on its
toes—and o 1. the CAA and Alaska
Coastal Airlines, it was revealed
during a Coast Guard s earch and
rescue night drill conducted Wed
nesday,
These drills at" held quarterly to
test out coordination of operations
and communications to locate any
weatines.- vs that can be remedied.
The problem was to locate a ditched
commercial aircraft down at a pos
ition 40 miles southwest of Cape
Spencer. The 83-foot CG cutter
proceeded to that pov11 -n to rep
resent the aircraft. The location
was known only to the cutter and
to 17th CG lr-adquartcrs here.
The cutters Storis at Yakutal
and Cahoone at Sitka were ordered
to the general area and a PBY from
Kodiak also participated.
A “ladder search” was made at
night which literally combed the
area in which the 83-footer was
drifting two miles as would a rub
ber life raft with survivors, and of
course without giving any signals
to reveal position.
Radio messages from the other
cutters, the PBY. and headquarters
each began with the information
that the message was part of the
drill in progress. However a CAA
station picked up a fragment of
' the radio traffic and contacted CG
headquarters to offer assistance
An Alaska Coastal Airlines oper
ator also got but a fragment of the
messages. alerted his office which
called CG headquarters with the
information that five planes for
passengers for Sitka were readied
for flight and would proceed to as
sist as directed.
In case of a real emergency all
‘ such interested organizations and
agencies arc informed but for the
drill they were not because each
message announced that it was a
drill. The mission was successfully
completed 18 hours from the fiist
alert and the "raft” was located at
4:30 Thursday morning.
