    USS San Diego (LPD 22) conducts flight operations while underway for NASA's Underway Recovery Test 11

    An MH-60S Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23 “Wildcards” takes off from the flight deck of San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22) while underway for NASA’s Underway Recovery Test 11, Feb. 22, 2024. In preparation for NASA’s Artemis II crewed mission, which will send four astronauts in Orion beyond the Moon, NASA and the Department of Defense will conduct a series of tests to demonstrate and evaluate the processes, procedures, and hardware used in recovery operations for crewed lunar missions. The U.S. Navy has may unique capabilities that make it an ideal partner to support NASA, including its amphibious ships with the ability to embark helicopters, launch and recover small boats, three-dimensional air search radar and advanced medical facilities.
