    A large amphibious assault ship is underway at sea under overcast, hazy conditions. The vessel has a flat flight deck loaded with multiple aircraft, including what appear to be fixed-wing jets and rotary-wing aircraft. The ship's island superstructure is visible on the starboard side with multiple radar and communication masts.

    The wasp class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) sails in the Gulf of Oman. Mail and supplies were delivered from the Kearsarge to the Whidbey Island-class dock landing ship USS Fort McHenry (LSD-43) as a part of a vertical replenishment-at-sea. Marines and Sailors with the 22nd MEU and Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group are currently deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.

    A large amphibious assault ship is underway at sea under overcast, hazy conditions. The vessel has a flat flight deck loaded with multiple aircraft, including what appear to be fixed-wing jets and rotary-wing aircraft. The ship's island superstructure is visible on the starboard side with multiple radar and communication masts.
    A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter from HSC-26 is performing a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation over the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The helicopter, marked with the number 13 and squadron designation HSC-26, is lowering a cargo load via a hoist cable to the ship's deck. A deck crew member in yellow safety gear is visible on the flight deck guiding the operation.
    Two naval flight deck personnel wearing yellow 'FD' (Flight Deck) jerseys marked 'LSD 43' are directing a helicopter from the flight deck of USS Fort Fisher (LSD-43). The helicopter, visible in the upper right, appears to be an MH-60 Seahawk conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation with a cargo load suspended beneath it. The scene takes place over open ocean under partly cloudy skies.
    A military helicopter, identifiable as a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk or similar variant, is captured in flight against a clear blue sky. The aircraft bears the number '13' on its fuselage and is painted in standard military gray. At least two crew members are visible — one in the cockpit and one in the open side door.
    A large US Navy amphibious assault ship is underway at sea, viewed from a distance at a broadside angle. Multiple rotary-wing aircraft are visible on the flight deck and one helicopter is airborne to the port side of the vessel. The ship appears to be conducting flight operations in open ocean conditions.
    A military helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk variant, is captured in flight against a partly cloudy blue sky. The helicopter is towing or deploying a dark object suspended on a long cable or line beneath it. The rotor blades show motion blur, indicating active flight.
    A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 26 (HSC-26), marked with the number 13, hovers over open ocean. The helicopter has its side door open with crew members visible, and a rope or cable is suspended beneath it, suggesting a fast-rope or hoist operation in progress. The image was taken from an adjacent vessel or platform over what appears to be a deep blue ocean.
