Title: Running lights on a vertical replenishment helicopter
Description: Original caption: "As the American servicemen look around in Vietnam he sees many scenes to remind him of the fourth of the July fireworks displays he so vividly remembers at home. What he sees though is not fireworks celebrating independence for South Vietnam. This night, time exposure was taken from the fast combat support ship USS Sacramento. The lights are the running lights on a vertical replenishment helicopter used for the replenishment of U.S. Seventh Fleet ships." A long exposure photograph of a light moving above a helicopter landing pad.
