    A military helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk, is hovering low over open ocean while personnel conduct what appears to be a combat search and rescue (CSAR) or helicopter rope suspension technique (HRST) operation. At least one person is descending from the aircraft on a line or in free drop toward the water, while crew members are visible in the open cabin door. The rotor wash is creating significant spray and mist across the water surface.

    PHILIPPINE SEA (July 5, 2021) Personnel from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 21 (HSC 21) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobil Unit 5 (EODMU 5), both embarked on the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Tulsa (LCS 16), conduct a training exercise in recovering waterborne personnel and equipment while underway, July 5. Tulsa, part of Destroyer Squadron Seven, is on a rotational deployment, operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with partners and serve as a ready-response force in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.

    Two military personnel wearing tactical helmets and brown t-shirts are handling a torpedo-shaped underwater drone (UUV/AUV) on the side of an inflatable rubber boat (RHIB) at sea. They appear to be preparing to deploy or recover the device over the side of the vessel. The setting is open ocean under an overcast sky.

At least one person is descending from the aircraft on a line or in free drop toward the water, while crew members are visible in the open cabin door. The rotor wash is creating significant spray and mist across the water surface.
    A silhouetted military or rescue helicopter is captured in flight against a partly cloudy sky, with a single person suspended below it on a rope or cable. The image appears to depict a rappelling, fast-rope insertion, or hoist rescue operation. The strong backlighting creates a dramatic silhouette effect, obscuring fine details of both the aircraft and the suspended individual.
    A U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) of the Independence-class trimaran variant is underway on open ocean under overcast skies. A helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk, is either landing on or departing from the ship's flight deck. Personnel are visible on the deck, suggesting active operations.
