Meulaboh, Sumatra, Indonesia (Jan. 10, 2005) - Landing Craft Air
Cushion (LCAC) vehicles and Marine CH-46 Sea Knight helicopters,
assigned to USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) and Expeditionary Strike Group
Five (ESG-5), deliver much needed materials and supplies to the
citizens in the city of Meulaboh, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.
The LCACs are capable of transporting more supplies than helicopters in
a single trip. The Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group is
currently operating in the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and
Thailand in support of Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian
operation effort in the wake of the Tsunami that struck South East
Asia. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 1st Class Bart A. Bauer
