A medical team aboard the USS Dewey examined the helicopter crew and reported no apparent injuries.
The incident occurred as the MH-60R Sea Hawk was performing "routine flight operations," with the cause of the crash currently under investigation, the Navy said in a press release
The aircraft is part of the Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 78, the Blue Hawks, which left San Diego for the Western Pacific on March 31 aboard the USS Dewey.
An Arleigh-Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Sterett, was also deployed with the USS Dewey and carries its own helicopter strike group.
MH-60R Sea Hawks are primarily used to hunt enemy submarines and to suppress enemy ground troops from the air.
