    An aerial photograph shows a naval formation of five military vessels underway at sea. A large replenishment or auxiliary ship occupies the center position, flanked by what appear to be destroyers or frigates on either side, suggesting a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation or coordinated naval exercise. The ships are leaving visible white wake trails on calm, gray-blue open ocean waters.

    180729-N-LI768-1195 PACIFIC OCEAN (July 29, 2018) – Ships from various nations prepare to conduct a replenishment-at-sea with the Royal Canadian Navy's supply ship MV Asterix while underway participating in the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise, July 29. 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 Devin M. Langer/Released)

    A naval formation of five warships is underway at sea in hazy conditions. The formation includes what appears to be a mix of vessel types, including at least one replenishment/auxiliary ship and multiple destroyers or frigates. The ships appear to be conducting a coordinated transit or exercise formation.
    Two naval vessels are underway in open ocean, appearing to conduct a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation. The left vessel is a larger auxiliary/replenishment ship and the right is a guided-missile destroyer, sailing in close parallel formation. Both ships are generating bow waves and wake, indicating active forward movement at moderate speed.
    An aerial photograph shows a naval formation of four warships underway at sea. Three vessels are sailing in close formation in the foreground, with a larger auxiliary/replenishment ship flanked by two smaller warships, while a fourth vessel is visible in the upper right background. The ships are creating visible white wakes against the dark blue-gray ocean surface.

    An aerial photograph shows three naval vessels sailing in formation on open ocean, appearing to conduct an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation. A large auxiliary replenishment ship is positioned in the center, flanked by two smaller warships on either side. The ships are connected or in close proximity, consistent with fuel or supply transfer at sea.
    An aerial photograph taken from above showing a military helicopter in flight over open ocean. The helicopter is light gray in color with visible markings and the number '703' on its fuselage. The rotor blades are motion-blurred, indicating active flight, and the deep blue ocean serves as the backdrop.
