    A military attack helicopter, consistent with an AH-1Z Viper or similar tandem-seat attack helicopter, is captured in silhouette hovering low over what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck at dusk or dawn. The scene is set over open ocean with a dramatic twilight sky featuring orange and purple hues through cloud cover. A green navigation light is visible on the aircraft, and rotor blur indicates active flight.
