    A military helicopter is parked on what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck at night, illuminated by green and blue artificial lighting. The scene is dramatically lit by a bright full moon partially obscured by clouds, with star trails visible in the long-exposure photograph. The helicopter appears to be secured to the deck with tie-down chains or cables.

    A U.S. Navy SH-60S Seahawk helicopter assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 21 sits on the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Peleliu (LHA 5) after being chained down following night flight operations Aug. 4, 2014, in the Pacific Ocean. The ship was scheduled for deployment to the Western Pacific after successfully completing Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2014. RIMPAC is a U.S. Pacific Fleet-hosted biennial multinational maritime exercise designed to foster and sustain international cooperation on the security of the world's oceans.
