YOKOSUKA, Japan (Sept. 1, 2007) -- Harbor tugs assist dock landing ship USS Tortuga (LSD 46) as the ship enters port at Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka with simulated Japanese evacuees as part of a Tokyo Metropolitan Government disaster relief drill. Tortuga assisted in the drill by evacuating simulated stranded citizens from Tokyo's Kasai Kaihin Park to the ship via landing craft air cushion (LCAC). This is the second year that the U.S. Navy has participated in this type of drill. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Nardelito Gervacio (RELEASED)
