    An aerial view of a U.S. Coast Guard rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) numbered 26229 operating in open ocean waters. Several crew members in orange survival suits are aboard the vessel, which appears to be either launching from or returning to a larger Coast Guard cutter. A crew member in a white hard hat and reflective vest is visible on the deck of the parent vessel in the lower right corner.
    A U.S. Coast Guard rigid inflatable boat (RIB) numbered 26229 is underway on open blue ocean waters. Four crew members in uniform and life vests are aboard, with one appearing to hold a marker buoy or signal device. The vessel is equipped with a center console, communications antenna, and what appears to be a mounted weapon system.
