美国海岸警卫队周二表示，一家三口已于周一被发现生还并获救，他们7天前在西太平洋海域乘船失踪。
据海岸警卫队消息，这家人包括两名男子和一名女子，全员均已获救。他们在海上失联的一周时间里均未受伤。
海岸警卫队的“米吉特号”巡逻舰船员在密克罗尼西亚联邦楚克州近海找到了这户失踪家庭。密克罗尼西亚是巴布亚新几内亚东北部的岛国。海岸警卫队称，该三人组于3月30日从该群岛境内的法纳努岛起航，原本计划乘坐一艘23英尺长的小艇前往附近的穆里略岛，航程不远，但船只发动机故障后，他们未能抵达目的地。
“米吉特号”船员是在周日收到密克罗尼西亚当局和美国大使馆的通报后找到这户失踪家庭的，上述机构向海岸警卫队通报了该船只逾期未归的情况。海岸警卫队表示，此次搜救行动覆盖了1.4万平方海里的汹涌海域，海浪最高时达到10英尺。

三名幸存者均已由海岸警卫队安全送往楚克州，当地已安排交通工具将他们送回法纳努岛。
海岸警卫队公布了该家庭的小艇在黑暗中被发现的画面，以及获救家庭被海豚直升机转运、与亲人团聚的照片。
此次大规模搜救行动在巅峰时期集结了关岛美国海岸警卫队联合救援分中心和美国海岸警卫队大洋洲区的值班人员，后者还出动了一架大力神飞机及机组人员前往夏威夷支援搜救。海岸警卫队称，“米吉特号”船员原本正在该区域执行巡逻任务，此次行动中被临时调派参与搜救。
美国驻密克罗尼西亚联邦大使詹妮弗·约翰逊在一份声明中表示：“我们美国海岸警卫队同事在此次成功的搜救任务中迅速而英勇的行动，不仅体现了专业精神和人道主义的最高标准，也巩固了美国与密克罗尼西亚联邦之间深厚且持久的伙伴关系。此次任务彰显了《自由联系条约》核心的合作与相互支持精神，突显了我们的紧密关系如何转化为切实拯救民众生命的成果。”
Family missing for 7 days found alive by U.S. Coast Guard in Pacific Ocean

A family of three were found alive and rescued Monday, after disappearing seven days earlier on a boat in the western Pacific Ocean, the United States Coast Guard said on Tuesday.
The family included two men and one woman, all of whom have been rescued, according to the Coast Guard. None suffered injuries during their week lost at sea.
Crew members aboard the Coast Guard cutter Midgett located the missing family off the coast of Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia, an island nation northeast of Papua New Guinea. The trio had set sail from Fananu Island, within the archipelago, on March 30, the Coast Guard said. They planned to travel only a short distance to nearby Murillo Island on a 23-foot skiff, but never arrived at their destination after the boat’s engine failed.
The Midgett crew found the missing family after receiving a report Sunday from authorities in Micronesia and the U.S. Embassy, which informed the Coast Guard that their boat was overdue. Search and rescue efforts spanned 14,000 square nautical miles of rough seas, where waves at times reached as high as 10 feet, the Coast Guard said.

All three survivors were taken safely by the Coast Guard to Chuuk State, where transport was available back to Fananu Island.
The Coast Guard released images showing the family’s skiff being located in the darkness as well as photos of the rescued family being transported by Dolphin helicopter and reunited with loved ones.
At its peak, the massive search effort involved watchstanders from the U.S. Coast Guard Joint Rescue Sub-Center in Guam and the U.S. Coast Guard District Oceania, which launched a Hercules airplane and crew to Hawaii to support the probe. The Midgett crew was diverted from a patrol mission in the region, the Coast Guard said.
“Our U.S. Coast Guard colleagues’ swift and courageous actions in this successful search and rescue mission not only reflect the highest standards of professionalism and humanity but also reinforce the deep and enduring partnership between the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia,” said Jennifer Johnson, U.S. Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia, in a statement. “This mission exemplifies the spirit of cooperation and mutual support at the heart of the Compact of Free Association, underscoring how our close relations translate into real, life-saving outcomes for our people.”
