Atlantic Ocean (Jan. 25, 2004) -- Flight deck personnel carry Mr.
Giovanni Cutugno to the ship's medical facility aboard USS George
Washington (CVN 73). Cutugno was transported by helicopter from
the Italian merchant vessel Isolaverde, after the Captain of the
Italian vessel radioed George Washington stating that he needed medical
assistance for an injured sailor. Washington dispatched an
SH-60H Seahawk helicopter assigned to the "Nightdippers" of
Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron Five (HS-5) to transport the wounded
sailor to the nuclear powered aircraft carrier for proper medical
attention. Gutugno received treatment in the ship's medical department
for several deep lacerations around his face and an injury to his right
leg, after falling down a ships ladder. U.S. Navy photo by
