    A U.S. Coast Guard rigid inflatable boat (RIB) numbered 26237 is underway on open ocean waters. The vessel carries several Coast Guard personnel in red life vests alongside what appear to be two individuals in yellow/green life vests who are seated and have blurred faces, suggesting they may be rescued or detained persons. The boat is moving at speed, generating a visible wake.

    A nighttime aerial view of a red rigid inflatable boat (RIB), consistent with a lifeboat or rescue vessel, operating on dark water. Several crew members wearing high-visibility yellow gear and helmets are visible aboard the vessel. The image appears to document a maritime rescue or patrol operation conducted in darkness.

    A U.S. Coast Guard personnel member is distributing food or supplies to a group of individuals wearing white protective suits and red wristbands on the deck of a vessel. The individuals' faces have been digitally blurred, likely for privacy protection. A second Coast Guard member is visible in the background near what appears to be a safety barrier.
    The image shows the deck of a U.S. military vessel (identifiable by the American flag visible on the superstructure) with a large olive-drab canvas shelter or tarp erected on deck using straps and supports. A group of individuals, whose faces have been blurred, are seated or resting beneath and around the shelter on the deck. This appears consistent with a maritime rescue or interdiction operation where migrants or detainees are being sheltered aboard a U.S. Coast Guard or Navy vessel.
