    A USCGC Kukui (WLB 203) boarding team, with a shiprider from the Republic of the Marshall Islands, approaches the fishing vessel Lomato in the Pacific Ocean Aug. 29, 2015. The Coast Guard executes bilateral agreements with nine Pacific Island countries allowing the service to engage in bilateral maritime operations where a law enforcement officer rides aboard a Coast Guard platform, usually a cutter, enforces their own nation’s exclusive economic zone with the Coast Guard’s support.

    An aerial view of a ship's deck showing approximately 12 personnel, most wearing orange life vests and blue uniforms consistent with U.S. Coast Guard attire, gathered around a large corroded cylindrical object. The personnel appear to be conducting an inspection or recovery operation at sea, with choppy blue ocean water visible alongside the vessel. A yellow-helmeted individual is visible near a ladder at the ship's edge, suggesting boarding or disembarkation activity.

    Three personnel wearing red life vests and navy blue shirts, consistent with U.S. Coast Guard uniforms, are operating a small rigid inflatable boat (RIB) on open ocean. They are approaching or monitoring a larger commercial fishing vessel with the hull marking 'V7TQ8' visible on its blue hull. The scene appears to be a maritime law enforcement or fisheries inspection operation.
    The image shows the deck of a working vessel, likely a fishing or commercial boat, where three men are standing and conversing. One individual is wearing a red life vest and military-style camouflage pants with combat boots, suggesting a possible maritime law enforcement or military boarding inspection. The vessel appears aged and heavily used, with rusted equipment, rope coils, and old tires visible on the wooden deck.
    Five U.S. Coast Guard personnel are aboard a small patrol/response boat on open ocean waters. They are wearing orange inflatable life vests, navy blue uniforms, and Coast Guard-insignia caps with sunglasses. In the background, a larger fishing or commercial vessel is visible, suggesting a maritime interdiction, boarding, or rescue operation.
    A U.S. Coast Guard vessel named 'KUKUI' is photographed at sea under overcast skies. The ship is a black-hulled buoy tender or similar working vessel with white superstructure, captured from a smaller nearby vessel. The sea conditions appear moderately rough with visible wave action around the hull.
