Persian Gulf (Jan. 3, 2005) - An MH-60R Strikehawk helicopter lifts off
from the guided missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) to conduct an
aerial security patrol over the Central Persian Gulf. The MH-60R
Strikehawk is the Navy's newest version of the H-60 helicopter series
and will replace the SH-60B and SH-60F models. The aircraft is enhanced
with a new Lockheed Martin glass cockpit, as well as mission
improvements that include the sonar, radar, electronic support measures
and an integrated self-defense suite. Mason is on her first deployment
to the Persian Gulf as part of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) Carrier
Strike Group, to support coalition efforts in the Global War on
Terrorism. U.S. Navy photo by Journalist Seaman Joseph Ebalo (RELEASED)
