| Haitian Coast Guard base becomes hub for quake relief |

| Chance often plays a large role in the lives of our military's men and women. The sailors and service members aboard the USS Gunston Hall (LSD 44) recognize that fact of life all too well today. LSD 44 was supposed to be off the west coast of Africa today, working with partner navies and providing security and stabilization instruction and assistance to the nations and peoples in that region as the sea base for Africa Partnership Station (APS) West . Instead, they find themselves off the coast of Haiti, uniquely staffed and provisioned for a relief mission they could have never imagined. |
