From what I could gather from the Hotel New York web cam there were no choppers visible outside on departure.

USS Mount Whitney, flagship of the US 6th fleet is currently busy with moaring in Rotterdam at the Wilhelminakade.

An earlier sighting stated that she has (at least one) chopper on board.
