    A white and blue helicopter, appearing to be a medium-lift utility type (likely an Aerospatiale/Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma), is conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation over the flight deck of a naval vessel. The helicopter is carrying a sling-loaded cargo package suspended beneath it, while deck personnel in various colored jerseys stand by on the flight deck. The image is captured through a circular hatch or porthole opening on the ship, framing the scene dramatically against an overcast sea background.

    A white and blue helicopter is hovering over the flight deck of a naval vessel at sea, appearing to conduct a vertical replenishment or cargo transfer operation. The image is captured through structural framework or netting in the foreground, giving a framed perspective of the scene. The overcast sky and choppy ocean waters are visible in the background.
    A white civilian-registered helicopter (tail number N553AC) is conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) operation on what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck. The helicopter is hovering while lowering a cargo net containing supplies to deck crew members below. A naval supply ship is visible in the background on the open ocean.
