That’s one way of landing an helicopter on a boat in a rough sea. It works surprisingly well.

Speaking of grounding a helicopter, it reminded me of the Hunt For Red October scene of trying to get a person from a helicopter to a submarine. It always seemed like such a complicated something as opposed to just putting someone in the water to let a diver collect them, which is precisely what wound up happening anyways

My cousin was picked up from a submarine by a helicopter, I'll have to ask him how that was orchestrated.

To me, it's still a helicopter that can hover. If your cousin had been picked up from a submarine with a sky hook, then that's over the top.
