PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (May 29, 2007) -- Amphibious assault ship USS
Peleliu (LHA 5) passes the USS Missouri (BB 63) and USS Arizona (BB 39)
memorials as she makes a port visit to Pearl Harbor. More than 3,000
Sailors and Marines from Peleliu will assist in a humanitarian and
civic-action mission to several nations in Southeast Asia and Oceania
called Pacific Partnership. The deployment is being coordinated with
several nations and, like the recent ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19)
deployment, will carry out in cooperation with several non-government
relief organizations. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist
