    A U.S. Navy sailor wearing a red helmet and life vest is firing a line-throwing gun (shot line rifle) toward an adjacent replenishment vessel during an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation at sea. Two warships are visible — what appears to be an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer on the left and a replenishment oiler on the right — sailing in close parallel formation. Several crew members in safety gear are observing the operation on the destroyer's deck.

    180713-N-ZA692-0094 PACIFIC OCEAN (July 13, 2018) Gunner's Mate 3rd Class Benjamin Reeb, assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Preble (DDG 88) fires a shot-line during a replenishment-at-sea with the Royal Australian Navy multi-product replenishment oiler HMAS Success (OR 304) during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, July 13. Twenty-five nations, 46 ships, five submarines, about 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel are participating in RIMPAC from June 27 to Aug. 2 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. The world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity while fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships among participants critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security of the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2018 is the 26th exercise in the series that began in 1971. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Anita C. Newman/Released)

    Naval personnel are conducting a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) or underway replenishment (UNREP) operation on the deck of a warship. Crew members wearing safety helmets, protective goggles, and life vests are handling lines, hoses, and rigging equipment along the ship's starboard side. The vessel is underway in open blue ocean waters under clear sunny conditions.
    Three naval vessels are conducting an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation at sea, with a central replenishment ship simultaneously transferring supplies or fuel to two warships on either side. The ship on the left appears to be a modern frigate or destroyer with a stealth hull design, while the ship on the right displays characteristics consistent with a US Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer. Replenishment lines and hoses are visibly suspended between the vessels.

    A Royal Navy sailor stands on the deck of a warship during what appears to be an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation with a support vessel alongside. The sailor is in profile view, wearing standard dark navy working dress uniform with a Royal Navy arm patch combining the Union Jack and White Ensign. He holds a rope/line and appears to be monitoring the replenishment operation.
    Two naval vessels are conducting an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation at sea, with transfer lines visibly connecting the two ships. The vessel on the right bears the hull number '304' with the prefix 'OR', indicating a replenishment or auxiliary ship. The ship on the left appears to be a guided-missile destroyer based on its superstructure, radar arrays, and deck-mounted weapons systems.
