    A U.S. Navy sailor wearing a face mask and glasses is writing or marking on a cardboard box on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel. The sailor is dressed in navy blue utility uniform and appears to be labeling or inspecting the box. The background shows an open ship deck with overcast skies.
    A U.S. Navy helicopter, identifiable as an MH-60 Seahawk, performs a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation over the flight deck of a naval vessel marked 'LSD 42'. A deck crew member in a yellow safety vest and hearing protection is directing the helicopter with hand signals as it hovers with a cargo net slung beneath it. The scene takes place at sea under partly cloudy skies.
    Naval personnel are working on the flight deck of a military vessel at sea, handling cargo or equipment secured on pallets. Crew members wearing blue and yellow jerseys with helmets and hearing protection are engaged in what appears to be a replenishment or cargo handling operation. The scene takes place under partly cloudy skies with open ocean visible in the background.
    A large gray military replenishment or auxiliary vessel is underway on open ocean under partly cloudy skies. 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 scene depicts a standard naval logistics operation at sea.
    A military helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk, hovers over a naval vessel's flight deck while conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation, with a cargo net slung beneath it. Several deck crew members in colored safety vests and helmets are visible on the flight deck, with one appearing to signal or direct the operation. The scene takes place at sea under partly cloudy skies.
    Two naval personnel in dark blue uniforms and black face masks are stationed at what appears to be the bridge or pilothouse of a military vessel. Both individuals are looking out through a large forward-facing window, suggesting they are on watch duty. The setting contains various navigation and communication equipment consistent with a ship's command area.
    A military helicopter, likely a Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawk, is conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation over the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The helicopter is lowering a cargo load via sling to deck crew members standing by on the ship's stern. The image is taken through a rain-speckled window with handwritten notations visible, suggesting it was captured from a ship's bridge or observation post.
    A military helicopter, marked 'DET 3', hovers at low altitude over a naval vessel deck during what appears to be a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation at sea. Two personnel in blue coveralls and white helmets are managing a cargo net loaded with supplies on the deck below. The operation is taking place under overcast skies over open ocean.
