Caribbean Sea (Feb. 4, 2005) -- An MH-60S Knighthawk assigned to the “Chargers” of Helicopter Combat Support Squadron Six (HC-6), hovers above the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Saipan (LHA 2), as it picks up supplies during a vertical replenishment (VERTREP). HC-6 is transporting palettes of food and relief supplies from Saipan to the shore of Haiti in support of Operation New Horizons. As part of New Horizons, U.S. forces will build schoolhouses, drill wells and provide medical attention to the people of Haiti. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Kimberly E.
