    Two military personnel in olive/sage green flight suits stand on the deck of a naval vessel, observing another warship at close range on open ocean. The second vessel appears to be a destroyer or frigate-class warship with a flag visible on its mast, possibly conducting a formation exercise or replenishment approach. The image captures what appears to be a multinational naval operation based on the flag markings visible on the distant ship.

Max Van Benthem, assigned to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) aboard guided-missile destroyer USS Preble (DDG 88) watch as the Royal New Zealand Navy frigate HMNZS Te Mana (F111) sails in formation during Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, July 26. 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)
