    Indian Navy ship INS Sahyadri (F 49) steams in close formation as one of forty-two ships and submarines representing 15 international partner nations during 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 exercise 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 Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Shannon Renfroe/Released)

    An aerial photograph of a modern grey naval warship designated F49 underway at sea. The vessel appears to be a guided-missile frigate equipped with various weapon systems, sensors, and a helicopter deck at the stern. The ship is cutting through deep blue open ocean waters, leaving a visible wake.
    An aerial photograph of a large gray naval auxiliary/replenishment vessel underway in open blue ocean waters. The ship displays an American flag and multiple signal flags, and is accompanied by two smaller warships visible in the background. The vessel features a helicopter landing pad at the stern and extensive deck equipment consistent with a combat stores or replenishment ship.
    An aerial photograph shows a large gray naval replenishment vessel bearing hull number 187 underway in open blue ocean waters. A second, smaller warship is visible in the background to the upper right. The primary vessel appears to be a fleet replenishment oiler or combat stores ship equipped with multiple replenishment-at-sea (RAS) rigs.
    A Republic of Korea Navy destroyer, hull number 993, is underway at sea flying the South Korean national flag (Taegukgi). Multiple naval vessels are visible in the background, suggesting a multinational naval exercise or formation sailing. The image was taken from an elevated vantage point, likely from another vessel or aircraft.
    A submarine is sailing on the surface of open ocean waters, displaying a South Korean flag on its sail (conning tower). The vessel appears to be underway at moderate speed, generating a visible bow wave and wake. The image is taken from an aerial perspective, likely from a helicopter or aircraft.
    A large naval formation is underway at sea, led by what appears to be a US Navy amphibious assault ship (Wasp-class or similar LHD/LHA) with a flat flight deck visible in the foreground. Multiple escort vessels, including cruisers or destroyers, are arrayed in formation behind and to the sides of the lead vessel. The image depicts a significant naval strike group or expeditionary strike group operating in open ocean conditions.
    A U.S. Navy guided-missile cruiser bearing hull number '71' is underway at sea, photographed from an elevated angle showing its starboard bow. The vessel is equipped with extensive radar arrays, communication masts, and weapons systems characteristic of a Ticonderoga-class cruiser. Two additional naval vessels are visible in the background on the horizon.
    Two naval vessels are underway at sea, photographed from a third vessel. The foreground ship is a gray military vessel flying what appears to be a British naval ensign, while the background ship is a large white hospital ship identifiable by prominent red cross markings on its hull and superstructure. Both ships appear to be sailing in formation in open ocean conditions.
    A large gray naval replenishment vessel bearing the hull number 'OR-304' (or similar) is underway at sea in open ocean conditions. The ship is equipped with replenishment-at-sea (RAS) rigs, cranes, and extensive superstructure with communications equipment. The vessel appears to be a fleet replenishment oiler or auxiliary support ship, likely belonging to a Commonwealth or European navy based on its design.
    The image shows the USNS Mercy (T-AH-19), a U.S. Naval Hospital Ship, underway at sea. The large white vessel is prominently marked with multiple red cross symbols, identifying it as a protected medical vessel under international law. A second, smaller naval vessel is visible in the background to the left.
    A large white hospital ship bearing the hull number 866 and multiple red cross markings is underway on open ocean. The vessel flies a red flag consistent with the Chinese national flag and displays prominent Red Cross symbols on its hull and superstructure, identifying it as a medical/hospital ship. The ship appears to be the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) hospital ship Daishan Dao (Peace Ark).
    A U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) with hull number '2' is underway at sea in open blue water. The vessel displays the distinctive trimaran or catamaran hull design characteristic of the Independence-class LCS, with angular stealth geometry. An American flag is visible at the mast, and the ship appears to be traveling at speed based on the wake visible at the stern.
    A U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) of the Independence-class trimaran design is photographed head-on while underway at sea. The vessel displays its distinctive angular, stealthy hull geometry with a wide trimaran configuration and sharp bow cutting through blue ocean water. An American flag is visible flying from the mast.
    A large naval vessel bearing the hull number '47' is underway at sea, photographed from a slightly elevated forward angle. The ship appears to be a dock landing ship or amphibious transport vessel painted in standard naval gray. Several other vessels are visible in the background on the horizon.
    The image shows two naval warships underway on open blue ocean waters. The foreground vessel is a Canadian Navy Halifax-class frigate bearing hull number 335 and flying the Canadian Maple Leaf flag. A second warship, appearing to be a different navy's vessel, is visible in the background at a distance.
