THUNDER BAY A crew member from Thunder Bay helped to rescue a sea turtle found in distress in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Oman.
HMCS Calgary is a frigate involved in counter-smuggling patrols in the Arabian Sea since the middle of April.
Thunder Bay-born Sailor First Class Coree Ranville serves on the ship.
The Royal Canadian Navy has just released photos of the rescue, which occurred last month.
After the turtle was spotted struggling helplessly in netting and other debris, Ranville and another crew member were dispatched in a small boat to extricate it.
The pair spent 15 minutes carefully cutting mesh that had become wrapped around its body.
