Caption: Pacific Ocean (Jan. 9, 2005) -- An MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter, assigned to the "Providers" of Helicopter Combat Support Squadron Five (HC-5), transfers medical personnel to USS San Francisco (SSN 711) located south of Guam, following an underwater collision, Jan. 8. Medical personnel were rushed to the Los Angeles attack submarine once it was within range to assist the ship's independent duty Corpsman in providing urgent treatment to injured crew members. Regrettably, Machinist Mate 2nd Class Allen Ashley died soon after the medical team's arrival from massive head injuries. U.S. Navy photo (RELEASED)
