A member of the USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) medical department monitors an injured crew member rescued from the capsized ocean tug Gulf Majesty as they wait for one of the flight deck elevators to lower them to the medical department on Sept. 15, 1999. Eight crew members were rescued after abandoning their ship in heavy seas off the coast of Florida during Hurricane Floyd. The USS John F. Kennedy responded to their distress call some 150 miles from the tugs reported location. The aircraft carrier had been at sea less than a day after leaving the ship's home port of Mayport, Fla., to ride out Hurricane Floyd.
