The helicopter is carrying a large cargo container suspended by sling load cables, positioning it for delivery onto the ship's deck. The image is taken from a low angle looking upward, with the sun directly behind the helicopter creating a dramatic lens flare effect.

    A helicopter conducts operations during the Navy’s first at-sea aircraft carrier helicopter transfer of an F135 engine power module load simulator, March 6, off the coast of San Diego. The module was transferred from the deck of the Military Sealift Command dry cargo/ammunition ship USNS Richard E. Byrd (T-AKE 4) to the U.S. Navy’s Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) and back to Byrd via EurocopterAS332 Super Puma and a U.S. Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters.
