170907-N-SA412-052 CARIBBEAN SEA (Sept. 7, 2017) An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter departs USS Wasp (LHD 1) en route to the U.S. Virgin Islands in the wake of Hurricane Irma. Wasp’s helicopters are conducting medical evacuations for critical care patients from St. Thomas to St. Croix and conducting damage assessment in support of the local government. Wasp, the first Navy ship to arrive in the vicinity of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is capable of providing medium and heavy lift helicopters to transport people and supplies. The DoD is supporting FEMA, the lead federal agency, in helping those affected by Hurricane Irma to minimize suffering and is one component of the overall whole-of-government response effort.
