Mercy (T-AH-19) navigates alongside Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) after arriving on station near Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, 3 February 2005. Mercy was forward deployed to assist in humanitarian aid efforts in the wake of the Tsunami that struck South East Asia (26 December 2004) and would serve as an enabling platform to assist humanitarian operations ashore in ways that host nations and international relief organizations found useful.
