On the way back to shore, due to bad weather, at 8:00 a.m. on August 18, the ship sank 68 nautical miles south of Tri Ton Island. The two fishermen brought food onto a small coconut boat and drifted at sea. When they saw Tri Ton Island, the two fishermen rowed towards the island and reached the beach at noon on August 22.
Receiving the fishermen in distress, officers and soldiers of Ship 952 checked their health, provided medical care and encouraged the two fishermen. Currently, the two fishermen are mentally stable and in normal health. Ship 952 is expected to dock in Da Nang on the morning of August 25.
