    Two individuals wearing helmets and body armor stand on the deck of a naval vessel observing a Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), commonly known as a Phalanx, actively firing. The weapon system is visibly discharging rounds, with a muzzle flash and smoke visible at the barrel tip. A label on the structure reads 'FPL 02-300-2 / COV 01-315-2', consistent with U.S. Navy equipment markings.
