USS Bataan (LHD 5) is a multipurpose Amphibious Assault ship commissioned in 1997 and home ported in Norfolk, VA. With a crew of nearly 1000 Sailors and Marines, the ship is capable of embarking a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), a mix of aircraft including the MV-22 Osprey tilt rotor helicopter and AV-8B Harrier Light Attack Jet, and up to three Landing Craft Air Cushion. Bataan is returning from a deployment in the Fifth and Sixth Fleet Area of Operations with 1200 embarked Marines of the 22d MEU. The ship and her crew departed Norfolk Naval Station with two weeks' notice and nearly four month ahead of schedule on an open ended deployment. The 2011-2012 deployment is the longest made by a U.S. naval ship since the early 1970's. (U.S. Navy video/released). Also available in High Definition.
