Navy helping New Orleans pets

September 17, 2005 

The Spanish word "tortuga" means "turtle." But in the wake of the New Orleans disaster, the USS Tortuga is helping other animals. 
For nearly two weeks now, sailors from Tortuga's repair division have devoted much of their time during this disaster relief operation to ensure the health and comfort of displaced pets. 
September 4th, just after the ship moored to a pier at Naval Support Activity (NSA) New Orleans, HT1(SW) Mark Hanley and DC1(SW) Antony Graves gathered materials from the repair shop on board to construct a kennel along the levee. The facility they made soon became a popular shelter for the homeless animals of the storm.
