    ATLANTIC OCEAN (Nov. 6, 2018) Sailors retrieve one of the ship's Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boats (RIB) during an Integrated Maritime Portable Acoustic Sound Scoring (IMPASS) system evolution aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Nitze (DDG 94). IMPASS certification recognizes a ship’s ability to support ground forces by accurately firing a MK-45 5-inch/54-caliber gun. USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) carrier strike group (CSG) cruiser-destroyer (CRUDES) units participate in the first East Coast CRUDES Surface Warfare Advanced Tactical Training (SWATT). SWATT is a training exercise led by the Naval Surface and Mine Warfighting Development Center (SMWDC) to improve the Fleet’s lethality, capability and readiness. (U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Nikita M.

    A female naval or coast guard service member is standing on the bridge of a military vessel, looking through large blue binoculars toward the open sea. She is wearing a dark navy uniform with a matching cap bearing what appears to be a unit insignia. The image captures her on watch duty from the ship's bridge, with navigation equipment and ocean visible through the windows.
    Two female naval officers are on the bridge wing of a military vessel at sea, engaged in navigation duties. The officer on the left is speaking on a sound-powered telephone while the officer on the right observes the surroundings. Both are wearing Navy working uniforms (NWUs) with name tags and rank insignia visible.
    A group of naval personnel in uniform are gathered on what appears to be a ship's bridge or combat information center, reviewing information on a console or display. A senior officer wearing a black jacket with gold insignia on her cap appears to be leading or instructing the group. The setting is clearly a military vessel interior with visible equipment, wiring, and ducting overhead.
    A naval warship is actively firing its forward deck gun, with a visible smoke trail extending from the gun barrel toward the left side of the frame. The photograph is taken from an elevated position on the ship looking forward along the bow deck. The vessel appears to be a modern guided-missile destroyer or cruiser operating in open ocean conditions.
    A naval vessel, identifiable by the hull marking 'DDG-9' visible on deck equipment, is conducting a small boat operations exercise at sea during overcast conditions. Personnel in safety gear including life vests and colored hard hats are managing a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) alongside the ship using a crane/davit system. The scene depicts a standard naval small boat recovery or deployment evolution.
