Subic Bay, Philippines (Feb. 17, 2006) -- The dock landing ship USS
Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) moored pier-side. Later that same day,
Harpers Ferry returned to sea along with the amphibious assault ship
USS Essex (LHD 2) en route to the Philippine Island of Leyte. Both
ships were ordered into the area to provide much needed humanitarian
assistance for the victims of a devastating landslide. Both ships
are part of the Forward Deployed Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), the
Navy's only forward-deployed amphibious force, out of Sasebo, Japan.
