    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identified as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured in the process of landing or taking off from the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The aircraft's rotors are tilted upward in helicopter mode, and the landing gear is deployed. The overcast sky and open ocean are visible in the background.

    ATLANTIC OCEAN (May 21, 2015) An MV-22 Osprey assault support aircraft touches down on the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1). Wasp, with VMFA-121 and VMFAT-501 embarked, is underway conducting the first phase of operational testing (OT-1) for the F-35B Lightning II aircraft, which will evaluate the full spectrum of F-35B measures of suitability and effectiveness in an at-sea environment. Data and lessons learned will lay the groundwork for F-35B deployments aboard U.S. Navy amphibious ships following the Marine Corps' F-35B initial operating capability (IOC) declaration in July 2015.

    A military tiltrotor aircraft, identified as a Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, is captured in the process of landing or taking off from the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The aircraft's rotors are tilted upward in helicopter mode, and the landing gear is deployed. The overcast sky and open ocean are visible in the background.
    Military personnel are working on the underside of a Marine Corps aircraft on what appears to be a ship's flight deck. The aircraft bears the markings 'VMX-22' and 'MARINES,' indicating it belongs to Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron 22. Technicians in flight deck gear are inspecting or servicing mechanical components beneath the aircraft.
    Naval deck crew members are transporting what appears to be a large aircraft engine or mechanical component on a wheeled cart being towed by a yellow deck tractor (marked 'GPCX TRC176') on the flight deck of a naval vessel. An MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft is visible in the background with its rear cargo ramp open. The operation appears to be an engine removal or installation procedure conducted at sea.
    A U.S. Navy instructor or officer is briefing a group of personnel during what appears to be a firefighting drill or damage control training aboard a naval vessel. Two personnel are wearing full firefighting gear including red helmets and SCOTT Air-Pak SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) units. A third sailor wearing a red cap observes the briefing.
