    A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with orange and black markings, consistent with a Coast Guard or rescue vessel, is approaching a capsized or swamped small boat in open ocean waters. The smaller vessel appears to be partially submerged and overturned, with only its hull, outboard motor, and some debris visible above the waterline. Two personnel are visible aboard the rescue craft, apparently conducting a maritime rescue or recovery operation.
