    EAST CHINA SEA (March 8, 2017) Quartermaster 2nd Class Chiset Hilder, from Albany, New York, hoists navigation flags aboard Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Wayne E. Meyer (DDG 108) to send a signal to ships during a flag hoisting exercise between Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Wayne E. Meyer is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment with the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet-led initiative to extend the command and control functions of U.S. 3rd Fleet into the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have patrolled the Indo-Asia-Pacific regularly and routinely for more than 70 years. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Kelsey L.

The ship is producing a visible bow wave and wake, indicating significant forward speed.
    A naval sailor in a dark blue uniform is using binoculars to scan the open ocean from the bridge wing of a warship. A pelorus (bearing circle) navigation instrument is mounted nearby, and another vessel is faintly visible on the horizon. The scene depicts routine maritime watch-standing duties aboard a military vessel.
    A naval crew member stands on the deck of a warship observing a string of international maritime signal flags flying from a halyard. The flags are displayed in sequence and appear to be communicating a coded message using the International Code of Signals. A flag storage/reference panel with alphabetical labels (A through P visible) and brass hooks is mounted on the deck railing.
    A naval crew member is operating a signal flag hoist on the deck of a warship at sea.

The setting is clearly a ship's signal bridge or flag deck.
    Three naval personnel in dark blue uniforms are working together on the deck of a military vessel, handling signal flags and lines. They appear to be preparing or organizing nautical signal flags, which are used for ship-to-ship communication. The setting is the exterior deck of a warship with visible radar equipment and rigging in the background.
    A man aboard what appears to be a naval vessel is handling large orange and red signal flags, likely hoisting or arranging them on a halyard. The low-angle shot captures him leaning over the ship's railing near a flag bag or signal locker containing additional flags. The image suggests a maritime signaling or flag-hoisting operation.
    A naval formation of multiple warships is underway at sea, photographed from the bow of a guided-missile destroyer in the foreground. In the distance, at least three additional vessels are visible, including what appears to be an aircraft carrier in the center background. The sea conditions show moderate swells under a partly cloudy, hazy sky.
    The image is taken from the bridge wing of a naval vessel, showing a gyrocompass or bearing repeater in the foreground with multiple warships visible on the open ocean in the background.
