    A U.S. Marines CH-53E Super Stallion heavy-lift helicopter is captured hovering or landing on the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea. The rotor blades are visibly blurred due to rotation, and a second naval ship — appearing to be a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock — is visible in the background. The scene depicts active flight deck operations in open ocean conditions.

    A U.S. Marines helicopter, identifiable by 'MARINES' markings, hovers over the flight deck of a naval vessel while personnel conduct a fast-rope insertion/extraction (FRIES) exercise. At least one person is descending a rope from the helicopter toward the deck, while two personnel on the deck observe and manage the operation. The scene takes place over open ocean under a partly cloudy blue sky.
