    Two U.S. Navy personnel in a small rigid inflatable boat (RIB) on open water, both wearing orange life vests over Navy Working Uniform (NWU) digital camouflage. The person on the right is operating the boat's helm while a larger naval warship, appearing to be a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, is visible in the background. The scene appears to be a routine maritime operation or training exercise.

The fleet training exercise dubbed ADMM+, ASEAN Defense Ministers Meeting Plus, is a major multi-lateral activity to promote practical maritime cooperation and information sharing among participating Indo-Asian-Pacific countries and to build a common understanding of interoperability procedures in maritime security matters. The crew of USS Chosin is participating in combined navies exercises and an International Fleet Review in Sydney Sept. 29 through Oct. 18. (U.S. Navy photo by Public Affairs Officer Peter Walz)
