    An aerial photograph shows a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with an orange hull approaching a small makeshift raft or primitive vessel in open ocean. The RIB appears to be on an intercept or rescue course, indicated by its wake trail leading directly toward the smaller craft. The smaller vessel has a mast with what appears to be flags and outrigger-style poles extending from its sides.

    An aerial photograph shows an orange rigid inflatable rescue boat (RIB) named 'USNS Wally Schirra' conducting a rescue operation at sea. Several people are aboard the vessel, including at least one crew member in an orange life vest and white helmet, while a swimmer in the water nearby appears to be a rescue diver assisting a person in distress. Debris is visible floating on the water surface near the scene.
    An aerial photograph shows a makeshift raft or primitive watercraft adrift in open blue ocean water. The raft appears to be constructed from bamboo poles and salvaged materials, loaded with various containers and supplies.
