    A naval formation of multiple warships is underway in open blue ocean waters under partly cloudy skies. The foreground features a U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer bearing hull number 112, accompanied by a large amphibious assault ship and several other warships in the background. This appears to be a multi-ship naval exercise or transit operation.

    U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and amphibious assault ship USS Peleliu (LHA 5) steam in close formation as two of 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)

    The image shows two naval vessels at sea, with a large gray replenishment ship bearing hull number '886' prominently in the foreground. A red flag consistent with the People's Republic of China is visible on the larger vessel, identifying it as a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) ship. A second, smaller warship is visible in the background at a distance.
    The image shows a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer bearing hull number 112 underway in open blue ocean waters. A second warship, appearing to be a foreign naval vessel, is visible in the background at a distance. The ships appear to be conducting joint naval operations or exercises.
    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) based on its large size and distinctive hull shape. It is underway at moderate speed, creating a visible bow wave and wake.
    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.
    An aerial photograph of a large military submarine traveling on the surface of open ocean water. The submarine appears to be a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) based on its large size and hull configuration, moving at moderate speed and creating visible bow and stern wakes. The image is taken from an elevated angle, likely from an aircraft.
    An aerial photograph of a large military submarine surfacing or traveling on the surface of open ocean water. The submarine appears to be a U.S. Navy vessel, identifiable by the American flag visible on the sail (conning tower). Water is cascading off the hull as the vessel moves forward, suggesting it has recently surfaced or is in transit on the surface.
    A large dark-hulled submarine is photographed on the surface of open blue ocean water, photographed from an elevated aerial perspective. The submarine appears to be underway at speed, generating significant bow waves and white water wash along its hull. At least one figure is visible standing on the conning tower (sail).
    An aerial photograph shows a large amphibious assault ship bearing the hull number '5' underway in open blue ocean, accompanied by at least two smaller escort vessels visible in the background. The flight deck of the large vessel is populated with multiple rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft. The formation appears to be conducting routine at-sea operations under partly cloudy skies.
    The image shows a naval replenishment vessel bearing the hull number OR 304 underway at sea, surrounded by several other naval vessels in the background. The ship appears to be a fleet replenishment oiler or auxiliary vessel, identifiable by its distinctive replenishment-at-sea (RAS) rigs and equipment. Multiple warships and support vessels are visible in formation, suggesting a multinational naval exercise or fleet operation.
    A large white hospital ship marked with prominent red crosses is underway on open ocean, consistent with a US Navy hospital ship such as USNS Mercy or USNS Comfort. The vessel is accompanied by several other ships visible in the background. The image was taken from an elevated aerial or shipboard vantage point under partly cloudy skies.
    A large white hospital ship bearing the number 866 and multiple red cross markings is underway on open ocean. The vessel appears to be a Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) hospital ship, identifiable by its white hull, prominent red crosses, and the flag visible at the mast. The ship is photographed from an elevated aerial perspective under partly cloudy skies.
    An aerial photograph of a modern naval warship designated 'F49' underway at sea. The vessel is a gray-painted guided missile frigate with a large helicopter deck at the stern, multiple weapon systems, and a complex superstructure. The ship is creating a visible wake as it moves through deep blue open ocean waters.
    An aerial photograph shows a large US Navy combat stores or replenishment ship underway in open blue ocean, flanked by two smaller warships in the background. The main vessel displays an American flag and multiple signal flags, and features a large flat deck area consistent with a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) capable auxiliary ship. The scene appears to depict a multinational naval formation or exercise.
    An aerial photograph shows a naval formation of multiple warships underway at sea under partly cloudy skies. The foreground features a large gray replenishment or auxiliary vessel with prominent cargo handling equipment, orange lifeboats, and a yellow-banded funnel. Several additional naval vessels are visible in the background, suggesting a multinational or fleet exercise.
    The image shows two naval vessels underway on open ocean under partly cloudy skies. The foreground vessel is a large gray replenishment/auxiliary ship bearing the hull number 187, equipped with multiple replenishment-at-sea (RAS) rigs and cranes. A second, smaller warship — likely a frigate or destroyer — is visible in the background to the right.
    The image shows a multi-nation naval formation at sea, with a prominent gray warship bearing hull number 886 and a red flag (consistent with People's Liberation Army Navy markings) in the foreground. Several additional warships of varying sizes and configurations are visible in the background, suggesting a joint naval exercise or formation sailing. The scene takes place in open blue ocean under partly cloudy skies.
    An aerial photograph shows a multinational naval formation of approximately six warships operating together in open ocean waters. The foreground vessel, hull number 886, flies a red flag consistent with the People's Republic of China and appears to be a replenishment or auxiliary ship. Additional gray warships of varying sizes are visible in the background, suggesting a joint naval exercise or formation sailing.
