    The image shows what appears to be military special operations personnel conducting a maritime boarding or vessel infiltration exercise. Two fully equipped operators in camouflage uniforms and tactical helmets are positioned on an inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC) alongside the hull of a large gray naval vessel. The photo is framed through a large anchor chain, suggesting the perspective is from the ship's anchor hawse area.
