    The image shows two naval vessels operating at sea, photographed through a safety net or cargo netting in the foreground. The closer vessel appears to be a guided-missile destroyer with a distinctive Arleigh Burke-class profile, while a larger flat-deck vessel is visible in the background at greater distance. The scene suggests a multinational naval exercise or formation sailing.

Twenty-six nations, 49 ships and submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 29 to Aug. 4 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.

    Two military naval vessels are sailing in formation on open ocean waters under a partly cloudy sky. Both ships appear to be modern warships, likely destroyers or frigates, rendered largely in silhouette due to backlighting conditions. The vessels are traveling in the same direction with moderate spacing between them.
    The image shows a naval formation of at least three warships operating at sea, photographed from the deck of a fourth vessel in the foreground. The closest ship in the middle distance appears to be a guided-missile destroyer with a prominent mast and superstructure, while a larger flat-decked vessel is visible further in the background. The foreground deck features a safety net/cargo net rigging along the ship's rail.
