Their vessel a Portuguese-registered Global Island cargo ship, Sank after being slammed by the tsunami waves on December 26, and they floated on the seas using life-saving equipment until the USS Hue City (CG 66) saved them last weekend.

Way to go fellow Guided Missile Cruiser Sailors
When I was on the USS Worden (CG 18) We saved the lives of more than 150 Vietnamese refugees from a unseaworthy craft in the South China Sea. The USS Hue City Sailors are all Humanitarians! And the Kenya Sailors are true survivors! "SPLICE THE MAINBRACE"
