Three more ships deploy to gulf
USS Harry S. Truman left Norfolk to join relief efforts in Gulf Coast areas hit by Hurricane Katrina.
The carrier will serve as the Navy command center and afloat staging base in the gulf and will carry additional helicopters from Jacksonville Naval Air Station to support search and rescue operations.
Three E-2C Hawkeye will assist with aerial management of the numerous relief aircraft being deployed throughout the Gulf region. And two C-2A Greyhound cargo aircraft will be flying logistic support missions back and forth from Norfolk to Pensacola.
