A port bow view of Dutch personal sailboat found stranded by the US Navy (USN) Ticonderoga Class Guided Missile Cruiser (Aegis) USS VELLA GULF (CG 72), in the Atlantic Ocean. After rescuing two Dutch crewmembers the Ship's boarding team inspected the boat and assessed it as un-seaworthy. The boat's master requested crewmembers to retrieve the boat's papers, some personal effects and gear, then to remove the boat's bilge plugs allowing it to sink in 2,000 fathoms of water. The VELLA GULF responded to the distress call after the sailboat had been adrift for three days in high seas

The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
