ARABIAN GULF (Oct. 31, 2020) Sailors assigned to the guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton (CG 59) signal an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, from the �Screamin� Indians� of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 6, where to drop cargo pallets during a vertical replenishment-at-sea 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.
