Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) reported on Sunday that a U.S. military operation successfully rescued the crew of a Greek-owned bulk carrier attacked on June 12 by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea last week.
The attack caused significant damage to the engine room, leaving the ship immobile and taking on water.
According to NAVCENT, a team from the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, which patrols the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and greater Eastern Mediterranean, airlifted the crew from the ship on Saturday.
However, one sailor aboard the MV Tutor remains unaccounted for, NAVCENT added.
