Citizens of Petit Thou de Nippes, Haiti – once self-sustaining – gather among the ruins of their city to await relief supplies from U.S. Navy ships. Helicopter Anti-submarine Squadron 11, commanded by Commander John A. Seargeant, USN, has continued to fly relief and rescue operations on the devastated island since Hurricane Flora swept over it, leaving at least 1000 dead and hundreds homeless.
