    A crew member in blue flight deck gear crouches on a ship's helicopter landing pad beside a red and black helicopter, appearing to give a thumbs-up signal. The scene takes place on the flight deck of what appears to be a U.S. Coast Guard cutter, with open ocean visible in the background. A second vessel is faintly visible on the horizon.

    A bright orange U.S. Coast Guard helicopter (tail number 6507) hovers low over a ship's flight deck while four crew members in blue flight suits walk away from it. The helicopter appears to be an Aerospatiale HH-65 Dolphin, a standard Coast Guard rotary-wing aircraft. The scene takes place at sea, with open ocean visible in the background.
    Three naval personnel in blue flight deck uniforms and cranial helmets observe a red helicopter hovering above a ship's flight deck over open ocean. The helicopter, consistent with a Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin, is conducting a hoist or cargo transfer operation with a load suspended beneath it. This appears to be a vertical replenishment or search-and-rescue training evolution conducted at sea.
