   1. On the evening of November 28, 1990, the tugboat RED JACKET sent two men ashore in a 12-foot Zodiac to find potable water at Seguam Island, Aleutian Island Chain. The RED JACKET anchored a few hundred yards offshore. The party made it ashore, built a fire, and appeared to be spending the night. However, in the morning the raft failed to return to the tugboat. The U.S. Coast Guard was notified. They sent out a C-130 to search during the remaining daylight of November 29. USCG district 17.
