Key Safety Actions

Maintain Standoff: Commercial vessels are advised to maintain a 30 nautical mile standoff from U.S. Navy units to avoid misidentification as a threat.

AIS Transponders: Keep Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders ON at all times unless specifically directed otherwise by NAVCENT NCAGS.

Verification: If you are hailed by an entity claiming to be a coalition warship but are suspicious, immediately contact the Fifth Fleet Battle Watch to verify the caller's identity.
