BAY OF BENGAL (Nov. 26, 2007) A CH-53E Super Stallion
helicopter full of water prepares to lift off the flight deck of the
amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3). Kearsarge and the
embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable)
are conducting Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief efforts in
response to the Government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after
Tropical Cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast. The storm killed
over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The
Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response
coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for
International Development. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication
