    A military helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk, is conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation over the flight deck of a naval warship in rough, overcast sea conditions. A deck crew member in a yellow jersey and helmet is directing the helicopter from the ship's railing while a cargo net with supplies is suspended beneath the aircraft. The operation is taking place in challenging weather with choppy seas and heavy cloud cover.
