    Two naval personnel are standing on the deck of a military vessel at sea, with one firing what appears to be a line-throwing gun or similar device over open ocean. A projectile or line is visible in the upper right portion of the image in flight. The personnel are wearing red coveralls and safety helmets, consistent with naval damage control or line-handling operations.

    170711-N-ZW825-147 CORAL SEA (July 11, 2017) Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Sergey Kalashnikov, from Los Angeles, fires a shot line from Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104) to dry cargo and ammunition ship USNS Richard E. Byrd (T-AKE 4) for a connected replenishment during Talisman Saber 17. Sterett, part of a combined U.S.-Australia-New Zealand expeditionary strike group (ESG), is undergoing a series of scenarios that will increase proficiencies defending the ESG against blue-water threats so amphibious forces can launch Marine forces ashore in the littorals. Talisman Saber is a biennial U.S.-Australia bilateral exercise held off the coast of Australia meant to achieve interoperability and strengthen the U.S.-Australia alliance.
