    The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Chosin (CG-65) launches a Harpoon missile during a live-fire exercise as part of Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships, six submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 26 to Aug. 1 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world's largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain the cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2014 is the 24th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Fire Controlman 2nd Class Andrew Albin/Released)

    The image shows the forward deck of a naval warship at sea, captured with a wide-angle lens. A naval gun mount (likely a 76mm or 5-inch deck gun) is prominently visible in the foreground, while a missile launcher system on the starboard side appears to be actively firing, with visible exhaust plume and a missile in flight. The vessel is operating in open blue ocean under clear skies.
