ATLANTIC OCEAN (Sept. 8, 2017) Sailors observe a Landing Craft Utility (LCU), assigned to Assault Craft Unit (ACU) 2, entering the well deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) in preparation for potential humanitarian relief efforts. The preparations ensure Iwo Jima is ready to respond to any requests to bolster Northern Command’s support of Federal Emergency Management Agency’s assistance to federal, state and local authorities’ ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
