ARABIAN GULF (Oct. 13, 2020) An MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to the "Screamin' Indians" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 6, releases a cargo pendant on the bow of the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton (CG 59) during a vertical replenishment-at-sea with the dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Matthew Perry (T-AKE 9) in the Arabian Gulf. Princeton is part of Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and Pacific Ocean through the western Indian Ocean and three critical chokepoints to the free flow of global commerce.
