PERSIAN GULF (July 18, 2007) -- Boatswain's mates from dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) recover the ship's 11-meter rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) with a 60-ton crane while the ship's flight deck crew refuels an HH-60H Seahawk from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 6. Rushmore is deployed to the Persian Gulf as part of Combined Task Force 158, a coalition task force charged with maintaining security in and around both the Al Basrah and Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminals in support of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1723. U.S. Navy photo by Cmdr. Cathal O'Connor (RELEASED)
