    Military personnel in tactical gear are conducting a ship-boarding or fast-rope/rappelling exercise on the hull of USS Frank Cable (AS-40), a US Navy submarine tender. Several armed soldiers are visible climbing or descending the ship's bow using ropes, while others observe from the deck above. The exercise appears to be taking place in a tropical harbor environment, likely Guam based on the visible coastline.
