170131-N-WV703-554 SOUTH CHINA SEA (Jan. 31, 2017) Boatswain's Mate 2nd Class Ryan Leach, assigned to the littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4), signals a MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter during launch and recovery operations. The ship is a fast and agile warship tailor-made to patrol the region's littorals and work hull-to-hull with partner navies, providing the U.S. 7th Fleet with the flexible capabilities it needs now and in the future.
