Summary edit

Description
English: ABOARD USNS STOCKHAM (April 12, 2007) – An HH-60H Seahawk assigned to the Warhawks of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (HS) 10, Expeditionary Sea Command Unit (ESCU) 1, from Naval Air Station (NAS) North Island, San Diego, prepares for a rescue mission on a stranded Taiwanese fishing vessel that has run aground on a reef near the Solomon Islands. The fishing vessel was ferrying a medical team to the Solomon Islands, to provide medical care for victims of a recent tsunami in the region. The helicopter rescued 15 Red Cross and medical staff, and two injured Tsunami victims and transported them safely to the town of Gizo, Solomon Islands. A third critically injured crew member was also rescued by helicopter and taken to hospital in the neighboring town of Munda. ESCU-1 is on a six-month deployment aboard the Military Sealift Command (MSC) roll-on/roll-off ship USNS Stockham (T-AK 3017). On April 2, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami struck the Solomon Islands causing casualties and significant damage. USNS Stockham is one of 16 Maritime Pre-Positioning Ships belonging to the MSC Pre-Positioning Program. The U.S. Navy is responding to a specific request on the part of the U.S. ambassador to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
