"routine operations in international waters" off Asia. No one was injured. The Navy ship had attempted to contact the vessel, but the fishing boat lacked a radio. The fishing vessel did not respond to "Lake Champlain"s emergency whistle. Both the cruiser and the fishing vessel were undamaged enough to be able to sail away under their own power.
