## Resource

The USS Fort Lauderdale returns home after an 11-month deployment, having teamed up with the USS Iwo Jima and USS San Antonio to patrol the Caribbean and South America. Their mission blended security operations — including anti-drug efforts — with critical humanitarian aid, delivering supplies after Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica and aiding Venezuela’s earthquake relief. With the Iwo Jima already home, the Fort Lauderdale’s safe return marks the end of a demanding, impactful tour — a powerful reminder of the Navy’s dual role in defense and disaster response.
