    USS Kearsarge (LHD 3)

    260616-N-UR098-1009 ATLANTIC OCEAN (June 16, 2026) An MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 26, prepares to take off from the flight deck of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3), June 16, 2026. Kearsarge is conducting Type Commander’s Amphibious Training (TCAT), a military exercise designed to enhance mobility and integration between the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy. The amphibious force is an integrated powerhouse providing sea, land, and air operations, giving geographic combatant commanders a more flexible, and agile force for aggregated or dis-aggregated operations across the globe.

    A military service member wearing a combat helmet and camouflage uniform is positioned inside or atop a military vehicle, appearing to be in a low-light or indoor environment. The soldier is looking upward with one hand raised near their head, possibly adjusting communications equipment or a headset. A small illuminated display screen is visible on the vehicle in front of them.
    The image shows the well deck of a naval amphibious assault ship loaded with multiple armored military vehicles, likely Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAVs) or similar tracked/wheeled armored personnel carriers. Numerous military personnel in tan/desert camouflage uniforms are visible on and around the vehicles. The scene appears to depict a staging or loading operation within the ship's flooded well deck.
    The image shows the interior well deck or vehicle storage bay of a naval amphibious assault ship, packed with military ground vehicles arranged in rows. Multiple personnel in military uniforms are visible resting or working on and around the vehicles. The scene suggests pre-deployment staging or transit operations aboard a large amphibious warship.
    The image shows the interior of a large military transport vessel or aircraft cargo hold, viewed from an elevated angle. Military personnel in combat gear are positioned around a tracked armored vehicle, appearing to secure or inspect it. Additional military vehicles are visible in the background on the right side of the frame.
    A military briefing is taking place inside what appears to be a naval vessel's well deck or vehicle bay. One service member, facing away from the camera, addresses a group of approximately 7-8 personnel in combat gear. A large armored military vehicle, likely an Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV) or similar tracked vehicle, is visible in the background.

Several deck crew members in blue and yellow jerseys are performing ground operations around the aircraft. The scene appears to take place at sea under overcast skies.
    A military helicopter, identifiable by the number '68' on its fuselage, is captured in flight against an overcast sky.
