    A naval warship is actively firing its deck-mounted gun cannon over open ocean waters. The image captures the moment of discharge, with visible muzzle blast and projectile motion blur in front of the gun barrel. The vessel appears to be a modern naval combatant, likely a destroyer or frigate, operating in clear blue sea conditions.

    062918-N-UM892-001 PACIFIC OCEAN (June 29, 2018) - USS Montgomery (LCS 8) conducts a live-fire exercise with the ship's MK 110 MOD 0 57mm Gun Weapon System. The exercise was part of Combat Systems Ship Qualifications Trials (CSSQT) during which the crew demonstrates complete operability of the ship's entire combat systems suite. LCS is a high-speed, agile, shallow draft, mission-focused surface combatant designed for operations in the littoral environment, yet fully capable of open ocean operations. As part of the surface fleet, LCS has the ability to counter and outpace evolving threats independently or within a network of surface combatants.
