    An aerial photograph of a large submarine traveling on the surface of open ocean water. The submarine appears to be a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) or attack submarine, identifiable by its elongated black hull and prominent sail (conning tower). It is underway at moderate speed, generating a visible bow wave and wake.

    A U.S. Navy Los Angeles-class submarine transits the surface in formation with 42 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)
