A ship from Navy Zone 3 rescued 12 fishermen on three broken-down fishing ships off the coast of Đà Nẵng on Thursday night.
A representative from the Navy said the three boats, which were heading to Đà Nẵng port for safety, broke down suddenly as they headed for port.
A navy ship was called to save the fishermen from rough seas on Wednesday night. The three boats were said to be half under water due to big waves and strong wind.
