The image is a black and white photograph of a military helicopter on the deck of an aircraft carrier. The helicopter is a Sikorsky CH-47 Chinook, which is a type of helicopter used by the United States Navy. It has a large propeller and a pointed nose, and is painted in a light grey color. There are several people standing around the helicopter, some of them are wearing helmets and protective gear. The sky is cloudy and the ocean can be seen in the background. The image appears to be taken from a low angle, looking up at the helicopter.
