On September 7, 2017, the Indian Ocean became the scene of a dramatic medevac operation involving the Turkish naval frigate TCG 'Giresun'. The frigate responded to a distress signal issued by the vessel 'Aeagean Angel' at 1:46 p.m., after a Greek crew member, Vazoios Marcos, suffered a severe injury resulting in the loss of a finger and requiring immediate medical attention. Tasked by Combined Task Force 151 (CTF 151), TCG 'Giresun' swiftly dispatched a medical team via its SH-70 Seahawk helicopter to assist the ailing sailor. Upon reaching the scene, the helicopter crew hoisted the injured sailor aboard and a doctor conducted an urgent examination, administering essential medical treatment. Following the initial assessment, the critically injured Marcos was transported to the TCG 'Giresun'. In coordination with Omani authorities, the frigate made best speed towards Salalah Harbour, where a medical team awaited to take him to a hospital for surgery. After the operation, crew members from the 'Giresun' visited Vazoios Marcos in the hospital to express their wishes for a rapid recovery.
