Atlantic Ocean (Nov. 17, 2003) -- A U.S. Marine Crops MV-22 Osprey lands aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5). The Osprey is a multi-engine, dual-piloted, self-deployable, medium lift, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) tilt rotor aircraft designed for combat, combat support, combat service support, and Special Operations missions worldwide. Still under development, the MV-22 variant is scheduled to replace the Corps' aged fleet of CH-46E and CH-53D medium lift helicopters. Bataan is underway conducting scheduled training in the Atlantic Ocean.  U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate 3rd Class Brandy Tilbury. (RELEASED)
