Once on board, KennedyÕs medical staff treated the international mariners, who are in good health, according to the shipÕs senior medical officer. Kennedy is working closely with the Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain to return the mariners safely to Iran. VP-9 monitored the dhow, and coordinated helicopter rescue operations. Kennedy and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) are deployed in the region conducting missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the continued war on terrorism.
