June 2018 rescue.
On 12 June 2018 "Trenton" rescued 40 migrants from a dinghy in the Mediterranean off the coast of Libya, 12 people died before they could be picked up. Due to an ongoing dispute between Italy and Malta about the acceptance of migrants, arriving with Non-governmental organization (NGO) Search and rescue (SAR) ships, "Trenton" was at first unable to find a port willing to accept the people. The private NGO ship "Sea Watch III" denied "Trenton"s request to transfer the migrants, fearing to share the fate of the NGO ship , which had been turned away by Italy and Malta two days earlier on 10 June and had to travel to Spain instead.
"Trenton" was spotted waiting for orders off the port of Augusta, Sicily on 15 June. The 41 individuals were finally accepted by Italy and were handed over to the Italian Coast Guard vessel "Diciotti" on 17 June at Lampedusa.
