A US Navy drone boat rescued two Army pilots from waters near the Strait of Hormuz after their AH-64 Apache helicopter went down on June 8, marking the first time the US military used an unmanned surface vessel for a sea rescue operation. The Corsair drone, a 24-foot autonomous vessel operated by Task Force 59, delivered the pilots to a pickup point where a helicopter hoisted them to safety.
