Aviation Structural Mechanic 3rd Class Stephanie Burnette, from Chattanooga, assigned to the "Wildcards" of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23, applies screws in a panel after applying corrosion protection on circuit breakers on a MH-60S Sea Hawk in the hangar bay aboard Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Jackson (LCS 6).

The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is a fast, agile, mission-focused platform designed to operate in near-shore environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats. The LCS is capable of supporting forward presence, maritime security, sea control and deterrence.

Ms. Jackson is currently conducting routine operations in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of operations.
