    The image shows a red trimaran sailing vessel with Chinese flag markings on its sail sailing in open ocean alongside a large US Navy amphibious assault ship. The contrast between the small, agile racing sailboat and the massive gray military vessel is striking. The scene appears to take place in calm but deep blue open ocean conditions.

    PACIFIC OCEAN – Sailors aboard a rigid-hull inflatable boat, launched from the amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), approach the trimaran of a missing Chinese mariner during a search and rescue mission in the western Pacific Ocean. The Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group is deployed with the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit in support of the Navy’s maritime strategy in the U.S. 3rd Fleet area of responsibility.
