PHILIPPINE SEA (Oct. 29, 2021) An MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter, assigned to the “Island Knights” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 25, launches an AGM 114 Hellfire missile during an exercise. The helicopter landed aboard the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Tulsa (LCS 16) for a missile onload. Tulsa, part of Destroyer Squadron Seven, is on a rotational deployment, operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations to enhance interoperability with partners and serve as a ready-response force in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
