    A military helicopter, likely a Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawk, is performing a vertical replenishment or cargo transfer operation near a large white hospital ship marked with a prominent red cross. The scene is captured at low sun angle, creating a dramatic starburst lens flare effect. The ship appears to be underway at sea, consistent with a U.S. Navy hospital ship such as the USNS Comfort or USNS Mercy.

    An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter assigned to the "Dusty Dogs" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 7 transfers cargo to the Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) during a vertical replenishment. Comfort is underway operating in the vicinity of Ponce, Puerto Rico. The Department of Defense is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, in helping those affected by Hurricane Maria to minimize suffering and is one component of the overall whole-of-government response effort.
