Norfolk, Va. (Aug. 31, 2005) - Seaman Kyle Lomax directs cargo in the well deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7). Iwo Jima and three other Hampton Roads-based amphibious ships will get underway today to head to areas off the Gulf Coast as part of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. The four ships bring with them six Disaster Relief Teams (DRTs) that include amphibious construction equipment, medical personnel and associated supplies to assist with the relief effort. The Navy's involvement in the humanitarian assistance operations is an effort led by the Department of Defense in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
