A handful of US Coast Guard members had a close encounter with a shark during a dip in the ocean earlier this week.

More than 30 US Coast Guard Cutter Kimball crew members decided to go swimming during their break on Tuesday, taking with them an inflatable unicorn into the water to enjoy what they described in a Facebook post as"perfect" weather.

"Everyone was having a great day. Everyone was smiling and having fun. It was perfect! And then... Bridge personnel reported"Shark!" over the radio," the USCGC wrote in their social media post. All the crew members in the water swam to get out of the ocean. Some made their way to a small boat that was in the water with the crew, while others went for a ladder on the Fantail. Some swam toward an open stern notch at the ship's stern.
