    A missile is being launched from what appears to be a U.S. Navy warship, likely an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer. A large plume of white and yellowish-orange exhaust smoke billows from the deck as the missile ascends rapidly into a partly cloudy sky. The image captures the moment shortly after launch, with the missile visible near the top of the smoke trail.
