Africa Partnership Station (APS) amphibious dock landing ship USS Fort McHenry (LSD 43) coordinated relief efforts to two fisherman that were found floating 26 nautical miles south of Sao Tome and Principe, Jan. 30. Lookouts noticed them waving shirts and rubbing their stomachs. The vessel was out to sea for four days and had run out of fuel and supplies. As part of the Navy's new cooperative maritime strategy, APS is a multi-national effort to bring the latest training and techniques to maritime professionals in nine West and Central African countries.
