Gulf of Mexico (Sept. 3, 2005) -- A U.S. Navy MH-53E Sea Dragon helicopter lifts two 500-gallon bladders full of fresh drinking water for transport from the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), to those in need on the Gulf Coast. Bataan has been off the Gulf Coast providing relief efforts since Hurricane Katrina hit the coast. The Navy's involvement in the Hurricane Katrina humanitarian assistance operations is led by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in conjunction with the Department of Defense.
