    A group of approximately six to seven individuals, appearing to be military or technical personnel, are gathered inside what appears to be a torpedo room or weapons handling bay aboard a naval vessel. They are examining or receiving a briefing on a large cylindrical object, likely a torpedo or underwater vehicle, positioned on a central handling rack. The space contains multiple similar cylindrical objects stored on racks along both sides of the compartment.

    190322-N-AP176-0173 ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 22, 2019) Boatswain's Mate 1st Class Andrew Martin, left, assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit 2, discusses the Mark 18 Mod 2 unmanned underwater vehicle with Rear Adm. David Hahn, director of naval research, right, and Royal Navy Rear Adm. Hugh Beard, assistant chief of the naval staff (capability), center, aboard the Royal Fleet Auxiliary landing ship dock Mounts Bay during a mine countermeasures (MCM) task group experiment. This experiment refines and advances the Navy explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) community's ability to command and control an MCM task group. The Navy EOD community achieves this by embarking vessels of opportunity to direct surface, air and expeditionary MCM forces, including the Navy's Expeditionary MCM (ExMCM) units.

    A flight deck crew member identified as 'LA GIRVIN' is directing a military helicopter during landing operations on a naval vessel at sea. The crew member is wearing a yellow high-visibility vest and yellow helmet, using hand signals to guide the helicopter. The scene takes place on an open flight deck with calm ocean waters visible in the background.
    Military personnel are operating a yellow Hyster forklift on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel or pier, moving rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) on trailers. Several personnel in tan/khaki military uniforms are directing and supervising the movement of the watercraft. The scene depicts a boat loading or repositioning operation in a maritime military environment.
    A group of approximately six to seven individuals, appearing to be military or technical personnel, are gathered inside what appears to be a torpedo room or weapons handling bay aboard a naval vessel. They are examining or receiving a briefing on a large cylindrical object, likely a torpedo or underwater vehicle, positioned on a central handling rack. The space contains multiple similar cylindrical objects stored on racks along both sides of the compartment.
    A military personnel member stands silhouetted at the center of what appears to be a well deck or flooded dock bay of a naval vessel, with arms outstretched in a directing gesture. On both sides, armed soldiers in tactical gear are seated in inflatable combat rubber raiding craft (CRRCs) on the water. The scene depicts a military amphibious operation or training exercise with small boats preparing to launch from the ship.
    A group of military personnel in uniform are working together inside what appears to be the well deck of a naval vessel, handling a large inflatable rubber boat (CRRC or similar craft). Several individuals wearing helmets and tan/olive uniforms are collectively lifting and maneuvering the deflated or partially inflated watercraft. An orange life ring marked 'RFA MOUNTS BAY LONDON' is visible on the left wall, identifying the vessel.
    A silhouetted inflatable rubber raiding craft carrying multiple personnel is exiting through the stern well deck of a large naval vessel into open water. The image is taken from inside the flooded well deck, looking outward toward the sea and overcast sky. This appears to be a military amphibious operation or training exercise.
    A group of approximately five individuals in military/tactical attire are aboard a large black inflatable rigid-hull boat (RHIB) on open water. They appear to be handling or deploying a piece of equipment labeled 'REMUS' — an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) — over the side of the vessel. The sky is overcast with scattered clouds, and the water shows moderate chop.
    A small inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC/Zodiac-type) carrying several personnel in military/tactical gear is operating in open water. In the background, a gray military vessel — appearing to be a landing ship or amphibious support vessel — is anchored or underway. The scene is consistent with a maritime special operations or amphibious training exercise.
    A black rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is visible in the background with approximately five personnel wearing military/tactical clothing. In the foreground, partially submerged equipment with an orange marker is visible at the water surface. The scene appears to depict a military or law enforcement maritime operation, possibly involving an underwater device or mine disposal activity.
    A group of approximately six individuals in military-style tactical gear are aboard a black inflatable rubber assault boat (RHIB) on open choppy water. The boat is equipped with an Evinrude outboard motor visible on the stern. The personnel appear to be conducting a maritime operation or training exercise.
