1963: USCG air-surface rescue craft responded immediately when the freighter Fernview and the tanker Dynafuel collided in Buzzards Bay.  While helicopters removed the injured aboard the stricken ships, surface craft extinguished the fires.  These Coast Guard units had completed the evacuation of all aboard the disabled vessels before the Dynafuel capsized and sank.
1991: An HH-60J Jayhawk from Aviation Training Center Mobile participates in a search and rescue operation off the coast of Alabama, the first such case conducted by an HH-60J, which was just beginning to enter Coast Guard service.
