The destroyer's crew members used a RHIB RHIB Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (also see RIB)  to transport the Iranian victim to their ship where he was further transported via an SH-60 helicopter to Vinson. Once on board the carrier, the victim underwent a battery of tests, and after a short recovery period was returned to Henif via one of the carrier's RHIBs.
