An MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to HSC-22 Sea Knights, assists in the rescue of persons in distress for transport to the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Bataan June 6. Bataan provided food, water, medical attention, and temporary shelter to 280 persons in distress after receiving a report that an Italian military marine patrol aircraft sighted six small vessels, one of which was sinking.  Bataan, with elements of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, is operating in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations to augment U.S. Crisis Response forces in the region.
