    A naval flight deck crew member wearing a yellow jersey marked 'LSE' (Landing Signal Enlisted) is guiding a military helicopter during a landing or departure operation on a ship's flight deck. The helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk variant, hovers just above the deck while the LSE uses hand signals to direct the aircraft. The scene takes place on a naval vessel at sea under clear blue skies.
