- Welcome to All Hands Update,

00:02.540 --> 00:04.941
here's what's happening around your Navy.

00:04.941 --> 00:07.426
USS Lake Erie arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka,

00:07.426 --> 00:09.677
to support humanitarian assistance operations

00:09.677 --> 00:12.001
in the wake of a recent monsoon

00:12.001 --> 00:14.520
that devastated many regions of the country.

00:14.520 --> 00:16.733
Recent heavy rain falls triggered flooding

00:16.733 --> 00:18.644
and landslides throughout the country

00:18.644 --> 00:20.297
displacing thousands of people

00:20.297 --> 00:23.991
and causing significant damage to homes and buildings.

00:23.991 --> 00:25.966
United States Pacific Command will also deploy

00:25.966 --> 00:28.087
military aircraft and other specialists

00:28.087 --> 00:31.587
who will join in the humanitarian efforts.

00:32.092 --> 00:34.828
USS Gabriel Giffords, the Navy's newest littoral combat ship

00:34.828 --> 00:36.460
was brought to life by her crew

00:36.460 --> 00:39.028
before a crowd of nearly 2,500 guests

00:39.028 --> 00:41.516
at the port of Galveston, Texas.

00:41.516 --> 00:44.115
Giffords became the 16th ship to be names for a woman,

00:44.115 --> 00:45.542
and only the 13th ship to be named

00:45.542 --> 00:48.125
for a living person since 1850.
