    A group of naval personnel dressed in white uniforms and white peaked caps are walking in formation through an open-air memorial structure with distinctive white trapezoidal columns. The setting appears to be the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, identifiable by the iconic white architecture and the harbor waters visible in the background. Some personnel appear to be carrying flowers, suggesting a commemorative or ceremonial visit.

    150804-N-IU636-003 PEARL HARBOR (August 04, 2015) Japanese sailors assigned to Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter destroyer JS Hyuga (DDH 181), destroyer JS Ashigara (DDG 178) and amphibious tank landing ship JS Kunisaki (LST 4003) tour the USS Arizona Memorial before a wreath-laying ceremony during a scheduled port visit at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The ceremony was meant to pay respect to those who lost their lives during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. JDMSF ships are scheduled to participate in the multilateral exercise Dawn Blitz 2015 in San Diego. Dawn Blitz is a scenario-driven exercise led by U.S. Third Fleet and I Marine Expeditionary Force that will test participants in the planning and execution of amphibious operations through a series of live training event.
