js0987 had it pretty close. We were busy doing a bunch of "required" ops/transfers. The weather got ****ty fast, the best way for the ship to get winds at the time involved landing the helo "down the throat." As an FYI the waves were large enough that they almost "touched" the helo as it was on short final. The blades are all folded back in the normal storage position for the ship. There was no way we were going to attempt to move the helo in those seas. As another FYI that bird flew Plane Guard the next day. A true testament to our maintainers.
