Gogue, Benny G. San Nicolas and Joaquin T. Alicto. These Guamanian sport fishermen, adrift on the Philippine Sea for 14 days in a small motorboat, were rescued from their two week ordeal by the USS Rathburne QDE-10575. This Pearl Harbor home-ported Knox class ocean escort, commanded by Emergency Break-away, CAM DEN , 1o D Right five, ten, twenty Cmdr. Harold B. Russell of Aiea, is currently operating as a unit of the United States Seventh Fleet. The small craft and its three occupants were first located by a P-3 Orion which marked the position of the stranded vessel with flares and vectored Rathburne to the rescue scene. The rescue was completed by Rathburne's motor whaleboat crew. The rescue team, led by Lt. Robert D. Owen of Redlands, Calif., swiftly returned the stranded men to the Guam bound destroyer for a medical checkup, a hot meal and a shower. David K. Gogue, an employee of the United States Naval Station Guam's public works department, stated that the 14 foot boat had been intended for a one day fishing trip, but had run out of fuel. Prior to the rescue, the boat had drifted several hundred miles to the west of Guam and had been overlooked by five passing vessels. Following the rescue, Rathburne took the small fishing boat in tow and set course for a happy homecoming in Agana, Guam. ...Y ll l rf l 4 H 'F I k il ? it ti I Q fl ,' I ef
