I have a couple of problems with the caption of the lower photo. First, the description on the photo's page doesn't mention its mission, but the caption on this page does. At least one should be updated. Also, I take exception to the expression "the tsunami". It should either say "...to aid tsunami victims in South Asia", "...to aid victims of the December 26, 2004 South Asian tsunami", or not refer to the mission at all. - RealGrouchy 02:53, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Either edit sounds fine. Be bold. Jinian 11:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 4 months medical SEA mission

I added this notable 4 months mission to our country Philippines/ SEA. "Floating hospital," USNS Mercy, departed San Diego on May 1, 2008, for Pacific Partnership 2008 - 4-month humanitarian and civic deployment in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Mercy, with her 900 officers and sailors, including 300 US health and construction experts, will visit the Philippines, Vietnam, the Federated States of Micronesia, Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea. Partner nations participating in the mission include Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan, the Republic of Korea and New Zealand, with several non-governmental organizations. www.military.com, USNS Mercy Deploys for Pacific Since 2006, Mercy will make its return visit to the Philippines late May through mid-June to conduct medical missions in Visayas and Mindanao.www.gmanews.tv, US ‘floating hospital’ to return to RP Mercy will berth in Nha Trang from June 18-28.www.thanhniennews.com, US hospital ship to anchor in Nha Trang --Florentino floro (talk) 08:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
