Photos from our sailor

Michael sent several photos of activities on and around his ship on deployment.


A pair of waterspouts off the starboard bow during a big storm.

Getting ready for a VBSS outing.


The RHIB that the VBSS team takes to go out an inspect/interact with other vessels in the area.


A dhow. I believe this one is flying and Iranian flag.


Another dhow, as seen from the RHIB.


An 8-foot eel that they discovered writhing on the deck as they started boarding the dhow. The dhow crew tossed it back into the water.


The air crew of the destroyer preparing to receive a helicopter.


An approaching helo.


The helo landing.


Releasing the helo.


Helo take off.


Helo leaving.



Job well done.
