Helicopter on minesweeper

An MH-53E Sea Dragon lands on the JS Uraga while taking part in the 2016 Mine Countermeasures Exercise in Mutsu Bay, Japan, July 22, 2016. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force vessel’s crew teamed up with the U.S. Navy helicopter’s unit to train for the boat landing aspect of mine countermeasures. By improving response times and strengthening relations, the services aim to not only become more adept at their mission, but also to deter their enemy’s willingness to mine.
