The Pacific Fleet Ceremonial Band bids farewell to USS Peleliu (LHA 5), as the amphibious assault ship pulls away from the pier at Naval Station Pearl Harbor. The 24-piece ensemble performed conventional march music and patriotic favorites during a brief, pier side ceremony held in celebration of the launching of Pacific Partnership 2007, a four-month, humanitarian assistance mission to Southeast Asia and Oceania.
