U.S. Marines from the Combat Cargo Platoon rush an injured sailor from the merchant vessel Seal-Land Mariner, seen ablaze in the background, to the medical department aboard the U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) in the Mediterranean Sea on April 18, 1998. Search and rescue crew members, helicopters and an 18-person fire-fighting team from the Wasp responded to an emergency distress call from the merchant vessel in the Mediterranean Sea, approximately 85 miles west of Crete. A U.S. Navy CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter air-lifted two of the merchant vessel crew members to the Wasp for medical treatment of injuries caused by the initial explosion.
