The U.S. Navy has also been involved in search and rescue/search and salvage operations , sometimes in conjunction with vessels of other countries as well as with U.S. Coast Guard ships . Two examples are the 1966 Palomares B-52 crash incident and the subsequent search for missing hydrogen bombs , and Task Force 71 of the Seventh Fleet 's operation in search for Korean Air Lines Flight 007 , shot down by the Soviets on 1 September 1983
