U.S. Sailors aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5) transfer several persons in distress to the armed forces of Malta offshore patrol vessel P61 in the Mediterranean Sea June 6, 2014. The Bataan and the guided missile frigate USS Elrod (FFG 55) provided assistance including food, water, medical attention and temporary shelter to 282 people after receiving a report that an Italian military marine patrol aircraft sighted six small vessels, one of which was sinking. The Bataan, with the embarked 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, was operating in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations to augment U.S. crisis response forces in the region.
