Sumatra, Indonesia aqua lift

Indian Ocean (Jan. 6, 2005) - Sailor's aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) stand-by to load jugs of purified water onto awaiting SH-60 Seahawk helicopters. The water jugs will be flown by Navy helicopters to regions isolated by the Tsunami in Sumatra, Indonesia. Helicopters assigned to Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) and Sailors from Abraham Lincoln are supporting Operation Unified Assistance, the humanitarian operation effort in the wake of the Tsunami that struck South East Asia. The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is currently operating in the Indian Ocean off the waters of Indonesia and Thailand. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Cristina R. Morrison
