Historic First: U.S. Navy Unmanned Surface Vessel Rescues Two Apache Crew Members Near Strait of Hormuz
A U.S. Navy unmanned surface vessel (USV) successfully rescued two Army AH-64 Apache helicopter crew members after their aircraft went down near the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman on June 8 — marking the first known use of an unmanned vessel to recover personnel in a military search-and-rescue operation. President Trump subsequently claimed the Apache was shot down by Iran and vowed retaliation.
