US-WEATHER-KATRINA
This 31 August, 2005 US Navy handout photo shows a Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) departing the well deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) operating in the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans, Louisiana. The LCU is loaded with sandbags, water, a small flat bottom boat, 300 lifejackets, a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) and enough supplies to last ten days as part of the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina hit the Southern Gulf Coast States. Bataan-s involvement in the humanitarian assistance operations is an effort led by the Department of Defense in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Bataan has been tasked to be the Maritime Disaster Relief Coordinator for the Navy-s role in the relief efforts. AFP PHOTO/HO/US NAVY/PHAN Pedro A. Rodriguez (RELEASED)
