    A large military helicopter, identifiable as a CH-53E Super Stallion, is hovering just above the flight deck of a naval vessel, likely an amphibious assault ship. A flight deck crew member in a yellow jersey is visible on the left, using hand signals to guide the aircraft during landing operations. The image is taken from a low angle, emphasizing the scale of the helicopter against a clear blue sky and open ocean backdrop.

    170811-N-DC385-669 CORAL SEA (Aug. 11, 2017) A CH-53E Super Stallion, assigned to the “Dragons” of Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 265 (Reinforced), takes off from the flight deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD 6) as part of an embassy reinforcement simulation during a certification exercise (CERTEX). Bonhomme Richard, flagship of the Bonhomme Richard Expeditionary Strike Group, is supporting a CERTEX that will evaluate the 31st MEU on crisis response operations for a number of potential contingencies. CERTEX, taking place off the coast of and within Australia’s Shoalwater Bay Training Area, will test the MEU’s ability to conduct all of its core missions such as stability operations, non-combatant evacuation and disaster relief.
