    A Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey aircraft takes off from USS Peleliu's (LHA 5) flight deck during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2014. Twenty-two nations, 49 ships and 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 MC1 Carlos Gomez/Released)

The image was taken from a distance, capturing the scale difference between the warship and the surface craft.
    The image depicts a naval amphibious operation in open ocean waters. A large amphibious assault ship is visible in the background with its well deck open, while amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) are moving across the water in the foreground. At least one military helicopter is airborne above the ship, suggesting a coordinated amphibious exercise or operation.
    The image shows five amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) traversing open ocean water in a loose formation, likely during a military exercise or amphibious landing operation. The vehicles appear to be moving in the same general direction, creating visible wakes in the choppy, sunlit sea. The aerial or elevated vantage point provides a clear overhead perspective of the formation.
    The image shows a formation of amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) moving across open ocean water toward a large, steep, vegetation-covered island. The vehicles appear to be conducting a military amphibious landing exercise, traveling in a loose formation and generating white wake trails. A coastal settlement is faintly visible on the right side of the island.
    A large military helicopter flies over a beach amphibious assault exercise, with multiple armored amphibious vehicles staged along the shoreline and small inflatable rubber raiding craft with personnel visible near the water's edge. The backdrop features lush green hills and mountains consistent with the Hawaiian Islands, suggesting this is a training exercise likely at or near Marine Corps Base Hawaii (Kaneohe Bay). The scene depicts a coordinated multi-element amphibious landing operation.
    Two U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) hovercraft are underway at speed on open ocean, generating significant spray and wake. In the background, a large amphibious assault ship — consistent with a Wasp-class or Tarawa-class LHA/LHD — is visible on the horizon. The scene depicts a classic amphibious operations exercise or deployment.
    Two military hovercraft (Landing Craft Air Cushion / LCAC) are operating at high speed on open ocean water. Both vessels are generating large spray and mist clouds as they travel across the surface. The craft on the right bears visible 'U.S. NAVY' markings, and the left craft displays the number '57'.
    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC-57) hovercraft is underway at speed on open ocean, generating spray and exhaust from its lift fans. In the background, a large amphibious assault ship is visible on the horizon. The image depicts a typical amphibious operations scenario with the LCAC operating between the ship and a potential landing zone.
    The image shows a U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC-57) operating at sea, riding on a cushion of air above the water surface. The hovercraft is moving at speed, generating a large spray of white mist around its skirt. It is clearly marked with 'LCAC-57' and 'U.S. NAVY' along with an American flag on its hull.
    A military amphibious assault vehicle (AAV/AAVP7A1) has landed on a sandy beach, with a single service member in tan/olive coveralls walking in front of it. The vehicle shows signs of having just emerged from the water, with wet sand and track marks visible.
