so far the bonhomme has helped with missions, we're flying ospreys and are 350 degrees, five miles out from the site. >> and are you still with us? >> yes. >> okay, sorry, what are you being told by south koreans about whether there could be people still alive inside the ship? is that still an operating assumption as far as you know? >> well, we are still engaged in search and rescue operations with our korean partners. the koreans are to lead. we made our best speed possible to get here as quickly as we could and join the effort. and we remain committed to help them any way we can. we exercise about 25 times a year with the korean navy and we have a very strong working relationship with them. we believe this whole effort is really about friends helping friends.
