    Two naval warships are underway in open, choppy seas under overcast, hazy conditions. The foreground vessel bears the hull number '901' and flies what appears to be an Egyptian naval ensign, while the background vessel is a US Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer flying the American flag. The ships appear to be conducting a joint naval exercise or transit operation.
