    The image shows workers in blue hard hats and safety gear operating on a U.S. Navy vessel designated YON 287, docked at what appears to be a naval facility. Multiple crew members are handling mooring lines and ropes on the deck of the barge. The background reveals an industrial port environment with warehouses, cranes, parked vehicles, and hillside buildings consistent with a Japanese naval base, likely Yokosuka.

    U.S. Navy Barge YON-287, filled with 851,000 litres (225,000 gallons) of fresh water, departs Fleet Activities Yokosuka, March 26, to support cooling efforts at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. YON-287 is the 2nd barge of two supplied by the U.S. Navy at the request of the Government of Japan to aid in the cooling efforts. The two barges supplied a total of 1.89 million litres (500,000 gallons) of fresh water. This transfer will not involve the use of U.S. Navy personnel. The barge was delivered to Japan Maritime Self Defense Force multipurpose support ship JS Amakusa (AMS 4303) to transfer it north.
