Curacao, Haiti (Feb. 28, 2005) -- The amphibious assault ship USS
Saipan (LHA 2) moored to the pier during a port call in Curacao, Haiti.
Saipan is currently supporting New Horizons, a three-month humanitarian
and civic assistance exercise by Commander U.S. Southern Command.
Saipan arrived off the coast of Haiti Feb. 1, 2005 and has delivered
Navy Seabee construction personnel, U.S. Army military police, and
nearly 1,200 tons of construction supplies and equipment via
helicopters and landing craft units. The Task Force conducting New
Horizons will build three schoolhouses, drill three potable water wells
and conduct free health clinics. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate
