    A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer is underway on open blue ocean waters. The vessel is flying the American flag from its mast and displays a hull number on its bow, consistent with an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. The ship appears to be on active patrol or transit operations in calm sea conditions.

    180917-N-OY799-0135 PHILIPPINE SEA (Sept. 17, 2018) The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Benfold (DDG 65) steams alongside the Navy’s forward deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) during a photo exercise for Valiant Shield 2018. The biennial, U.S. only, field-training exercise focuses on integration of joint training among the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. This is the seventh exercise in the Valiant Shield series that began in 2006. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Kenneth Abbate)

    An aerial photograph shows a large naval formation of approximately 10 warships and support vessels sailing in open blue ocean under partly cloudy skies. The formation includes at least one large aircraft carrier prominently visible on the right side, accompanied by multiple smaller escort vessels including destroyers or cruisers, and what appears to be a supply/replenishment ship. The ships are arranged in a deliberate tactical formation, suggesting a carrier strike group or fleet exercise.
