MH-60 Knighthawks from the 'Dragon Whales" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 28 transfer cargo to the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN) 69 from the Fast Combat Support Ship USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8) during an underway replenishment. Eisenhower and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7 are on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of Maritime Security Operations (MSO). MSO help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These operations deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel weapons or other material. U. S.
