Article Abstract:

Ships of the US Navy have often been deployed in rescue and relief efforts, including the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima that became the focal point of recovery efforts during Hurricane Katrina. Similarly, when drought curtailed hydroelectric power supplies in Washington in 1929, the USS 'Lexington's' generators supplied about a quarter of the city of Tacorna's electricity needs.
