    A military replenishment-at-sea operation is underway in open ocean waters. A naval helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk, is conducting a vertical replenishment (VERTREP) by carrying a cargo load suspended beneath it near a large gray auxiliary support vessel. The ship appears to be a US Navy or Military Sealift Command replenishment oiler or combat stores ship.
