Watch this awesome time lapse video showing a Seahawk  helicopter in action in the South China Sea.

Taken on Jun. 4, 2015, the following spectacular footage creates stunning light effects transitioning from day to night as an MH-60R from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 35 conducts deck landing qualifications (DLQs) aboard the littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth (LCS 3).

When this clip was filmed USS Fort Worth and two Philippine ships, BRP Gregorio Del Pilar (PF-15) and BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PF-16) were taking part to the bilateral Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) exercise, where the Philippine Navy helicopters too conducted deck landing qualifications on the LCS’s flight deck.
