An MH-60R Sea Hawk operating from the USS Rafael Peralta has been photographed carrying four Hellfire missiles in the US 5th Fleet region. With tensions involving Iran continuing to make the Gulf, Arabian Sea, and Red Sea key operating areas, the deployment highlights how the US Navy is combining warships, helicopters and precision weapons to respond to potential maritime threats.
