On July 16, while operating at a position between [[Libya]] and [[Crete]], a helicopter from USS Bulkeley spotted a vessel that appeared to be dead in the water, the destroyer asked a nearby oil tanker Seaways Sabine to intervene, after which it retrieved 31 people from the distressed craft. Bulkeley transferred medical corpsmen over to the tanker in a [[RHIB]]. The responders were able to stabilize two of the victims; the third passed away despite their intervention, including an attempt at [[CPR]]. The remaining survivors stayed aboard Seaways Sabine as the tanker got back under way. The vessel arrived at an anchorage off [[Alexandria]] on the morning of July 18.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://maritime-executive.com/article/u-s-navy-destroyer-helps-rescue-31-people-in-eastern-med|title=U.S. Navy Destroyer Helps Rescue 31 People in Eastern Med}}</ref>
