Wearin’ of the Green.
(U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Michael Hogan)
O.K., we’re a little bit late to mark St. Patrick’s Day, but we thought we’d share this image in homage to the tradition of wearing green on March 17.
However, these aircraft carrier sailors wear green every day at work. The color signifies they are carrier air wing maintenance personnel and here they are replacing the windshield of an MH-60S Seahawk helicopter on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN- 71). The photo was taken in the Persian Gulf a few days before Paddy’s Day (March 14, 2018).
The Seahawk is assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 6. The Roosevelt (call sign: Rough Rider) is supporting maritime security operations in the Middle East.
