    Two U.S. Navy personnel in blue uniforms and white helmets are performing maintenance or chocking/chaining operations on a military helicopter aboard a ship's flight deck. The helicopter bears the insignia of HSM-79 'Griffins,' a helicopter maritime strike squadron. The scene takes place on what appears to be a naval vessel at sea under bright daylight conditions.
    A naval deck crew member in a yellow jersey and flight deck helmet is signaling with an outstretched arm toward a military helicopter hovering above a warship's deck at sea.
