NORTH ARABIAN SEA (Jan. 14, 2021) An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, from the "Screamin' Indians" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 6, transports cargo from the flight deck of the Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Matthew Perry (T-AKE-9) during a replenishment-at-sea with the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). Nimitz, the flagship of Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three critical chokepoints to the free flow of global commerce.
