Sasebo, Japan (Feb. 27, 2004) -- A small salvage craft carried by the amphibious dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) is launched into the Sasebo bay while the ship is in port of Sasebo, Japan. This evolution was performed in order to save the Navy costs, which would have been incurred, from use of commercial shipping. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 2nd Class Jonathan R. Kulp.
