Sailors help injured American in HaitiIt's pretty awesome when our military can actually do good outside of war:
As of Saturday, the Navy had nine ships scheduled to support the people of Haiti through air, hospital and supply operations. The forces are creating a "sea base" for staging humanitarian operations to provide assistance as quickly as possible. A testament to the naval forces agile operational ability, these ships combined can produce more than 900,000 gallons of water each day, a portion of which can be taken ashore to help relieve some suffering in Haiti.

The ship has 250 hospital beds, four operation rooms and more than 500 medical staff. WH
