    Naval personnel are working on the deck of a warship, likely during a mooring or line-handling evolution. The foreground sailor wears a blue hard hat and red life vest marked with the number '126' and is pulling a mooring line while wearing work gloves. Three other crew members stand in the background wearing white and red hard hats with safety vests, one appearing to carry a rifle.
    A military helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk, is conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation alongside a large gray naval auxiliary or logistics vessel at sea. The helicopter is hovering with a cargo sling line extended toward the ship's deck, which is loaded with numerous netted cargo pallets. The operation is taking place in open ocean under overcast skies.
    A United States Navy helicopter performs a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation above a naval vessel's flight deck, lifting a cargo net with supplies. A second helicopter is visible on the deck, secured with red tie-down struts, marked 'UNITED STATES NAVY' and 'COMSEVENFLT'. Deck crew in protective gear observe the operation on a wet, overcast day.
