    An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23, prepares to land aboard amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) following extraction of NASA astronauts from the Orion crew module in the Pacific Ocean, April 10, 2026. USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) is underway in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations supporting NASA’s Artemis II mission, retrieving the crew and spacecraft following their return to Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a flight around the moon in the Orion space capsule, marking the first time humans journeyed to deep space in over 50 years.
