You're assuming the helicopter works, which is a big assumption! In the old days, the pilots were important to run the projector for movies in the Wardroom, but DVDs have left them largely unemployed. I always found it interesting that the helicopter would be broken for most of a deployment, but fixed just in time for the aircrew to fly off as we returned from a deployment. They also seemed to break down a lot while ashore in places like Hawaii, or is that just selective memory...
