    Two personnel in cold-weather gear and white hard hats are deploying an orange and yellow remotely operated vehicle (ROV) or underwater instrument over the side of a vessel using a crane and cable system. The operation is taking place in calm, cold-water conditions with a coastal landscape visible in the background. The scene suggests a scientific or naval maritime operation in an arctic or sub-arctic environment.

    A naval vessel marked 'M342' is underway in a fjord or bay during winter conditions, with snow-covered hills and residential buildings visible in the background. In the foreground, a small inflatable rubber boat (RHIB or Zodiac-type) carries two personnel, suggesting a coordinated maritime operation. The scene appears to be a military exercise or patrol in a Scandinavian waterway.
    A gray naval vessel with hull number M342 is navigating through partially icy, calm waters under an overcast sky. The ship appears to be a mine countermeasures vessel or patrol craft, showing signs of cold-weather operation including icicles visible on the bow. The background suggests a harbor or coastal area with trees and port infrastructure faintly visible.
    This is an underwater ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) camera feed showing a close-up view of what appears to be a heavily encrusted underwater object, likely a shipwreck or large submerged structure covered in marine growth. The footage is from a training mission conducted on 15 February 2018, operated from vessel KNM RAUMA. The HUD overlay displays navigational data including heading (203.0°), depth (035.3m), altitude (000.3m), and mission time.
