The helicopter deck is readied for flights with the netting down. In ordinary situations the netting is vertical, acting like a guard rail. The purple cover on the left side is a hose reel for fueling helicopters. Any pipe, valve, filter, or item related to helicopter fuel is this color to avoid confusion with the ship's diesel fuel systems. Aboard the USCGC Healy icebreaker in the Beaufort Sea.
