The U.S. Navy was notified by a merchant vessel of the two stranded sailors in a life raft after an emergency flare was seen and the U.S.S. Oscar Austin was sent to provide help, said a statement issued by the Bahrain-based U.S. Fifth Fleet.
The sailors were found just about 1,000 yards (1 kilometer) outside Iranian territorial waters at 5 a.m. local time and were provided food and water. The U.S. Navy contacted Iranian authorities via neighboring Oman.
