It Was A Dark And Stormy Night (For This Anti-Piracy Dolphin)

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night (For This Anti-Piracy Dolphin)

In this spectacular and dramatic long-exposure night shot you can see a Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin helicopter — Dolphin, to its friends — being towed into its hangar aboard Ventôse, a light monitoring frigate of the French Marine Nationale.

The frigate was deployed in the Caribbean Sea on a mission to fight against drug trafficking between January 14 and February 13 of this year. It was certainly atmospheric enough for such a serious operation. [Etat-major des armées/Marine natioanle]
