    A U.S. Navy sailor in yellow flight deck gear is directing a military helicopter (appears to be an MH-60 Seahawk) during a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation on the flight deck of a naval vessel. The flight deck is loaded with netted cargo bundles awaiting transfer. The helmet markings indicate the ship is DDG-65, a guided-missile destroyer.

    A large naval auxiliary or replenishment vessel is underway at sea under a partly cloudy sky. A helicopter is visible to the left of the ship, appearing to conduct a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation with a sling load suspended beneath it. The ship displays a gray hull typical of military auxiliary vessels with multiple masts, antennas, and deck equipment visible.
    A group of personnel aboard a naval or military vessel are conducting a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) or stores transfer operation on the ship's deck. Workers wearing red and purple uniforms with protective helmets and face shields are forming a human chain to pass boxes and supplies. The boxes include labels such as 'KEEP FROZEN' and bear an 'RPO' logo with a mountain graphic.
    A U.S. Navy sailor in a yellow flight deck jersey is directing a military helicopter — appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk — during landing operations on the flight deck of a naval vessel.
