    U.S. Navy Sailors, assigned to Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Carl M. Levin (DDG 120), conduct a foreign object debris (FOD) walkdown on the flight deck in the Pacific Ocean, Sept. 12, 2026. An integral part of U.S. Pacific Fleet, U.S. 3rd Fleet operates naval forces in the Indo-Pacific and provides the realistic, relevant training necessary to execute the U.S. Navy’s role across the full spectrum of military operations. U.S. 3rd Fleet works together with our allies and partners to advance freedom of navigation, the rule of law, and other principals that underpin security for the Indo-Pacific region.

    A person with 'BMC' visible on their back stands facing a line of approximately 20 personnel on what appears to be a naval ship's flight deck or helicopter landing pad. The personnel are wearing various colored safety vests (red, yellow, green, blue, white) and appear to be assembled for a briefing or muster. The setting is an open ocean environment under a partly cloudy sky.
    Four naval personnel in blue uniforms are working on the flight deck of a military vessel at sea, handling chains and tie-down equipment near a helicopter. The crew members appear to be securing or releasing aircraft tie-down chains on what appears to be a destroyer or frigate flight deck. The operation is taking place under clear blue skies with calm ocean conditions visible in the background.
    Two naval personnel in blue flight deck suits and helmets are securing a military helicopter to a ship's flight deck using chains and tie-down equipment. The helicopter, likely an MH-60 Seahawk variant, is positioned on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. The operation appears to be a standard chock-and-chain securing procedure following a helicopter landing.
    Two naval personnel in yellow safety vests and helmets stand on the flight deck of a U.S. Navy destroyer, observing a helicopter with spinning rotors on the landing pad. The vest of the taller individual is marked 'DDG 120' and 'LSE 1', identifying the ship and the role of Landing Signal Enlisted. The scene takes place at sea under partly cloudy skies.
