    A military helicopter is captured in flight from a low-angle perspective against a partly cloudy sky. The helicopter is carrying a cargo net sling load suspended beneath it on a long cable, indicating a vertical replenishment or external lift operation. The rotor blades are visibly blurred in a circular arc due to rotation speed.

    A military helicopter, likely a Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawk, is performing a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation over open ocean, carrying a cargo net with supplies suspended beneath it. A naval deck crew member in a yellow jersey and blue-marked flight deck helmet observes the operation from what appears to be the deck of an aircraft carrier or naval vessel. The scene depicts a standard underway replenishment procedure used by naval forces.
    A naval replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation is underway between two vessels on open ocean. A crew member in yellow safety gear stands on what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck, observing a large gray auxiliary/replenishment ship sailing in parallel. A helicopter is visible in the upper left, likely conducting vertical replenishment (VERTREP) by carrying a cargo load.
    A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter (tail number 09) hovers over the flight deck of a naval vessel during a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation. A deck crew member in a yellow jersey and red helmet observes as cargo nets filled with supplies are being lifted by the helicopter. Multiple pallets and cargo nets are staged on the flight deck awaiting transfer.
    A U.S. Navy helicopter, marked '02' and labeled 'NAVY', hovers over the flight deck of a naval vessel designated 'LHD 2' during what appears to be a vertical replenishment or cargo transfer operation. Flight deck crew members in protective gear observe and assist with the operation, with one crew member in a yellow vest managing a cable or hook beneath the helicopter. The scene takes place at sea under partly cloudy skies.
    A U.S. Navy MH-60 Seahawk helicopter hovers over the flight deck of a naval vessel while crew members attach or detach a cargo load via a sling beneath the aircraft.
