BAY OF BENGAL (November 29, 2007) - A landing craft-air cushion (LCAC) from Assault Craft Unit 4 currently attached to amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) rides alongside Kearsarge for a demonstration.  The amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) and the embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable) are conducting Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief efforts in response to the Government of Bangladesh's request for assistance after Tropical Cyclone Sidr struck their southern coast Nov. 15.  The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless.  The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development.
