Vehicle request on the two helicopters. Also, I don't know if there's enough to identify it without the markings, but if possible, which battleship is it?

On a side note, could someone that knows navy flags identify what the flags on the right side of the conning tower mean?

'Negative', 'Vessel stopped', 'Pilot on board', not a sensical message.

Top helicopter is a sikorsky_sh-3_sea_king, and the bottom one appears to be the UH-1N Twin Huey variant of the uh-1_iroquois. The ship is an Iowa-class battleship, in its 1980s Cold War configuration, most easily identifiable by the two white phalanx_ciws on each side. Each of the 4 ships of the Iowa-class received pretty much the same modifications when reactivated in the 1980s, so it is hard to say which exact ship it is without the hull number on the bow. I'm just going to assume that it is the lead ship of the class uss_iowa_(bb-61) due to the artist's history of drawing the lead ships of their class, and tag it as such.

So I asked my old man (30y navy vet), and that's a short message, but it does make sense if they're being asked on the status of a SAR op. looking for a downed pilot.
I mean, hypothetical scenario but would explain it.
