    190323-N-AP176-0235 ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 23, 2019) Sailors from Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Expeditionary Support Unit 2 and EOD Mobile Unit 2 operate a rigid-hull inflatable boat from Royal Fleet Auxiliary landing ship dock Mounts Bay during an expeditionary mine countermeasures (MCM) task group experiment. This experiment, held aboard Mounts Bay, refines and advances the Navy 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.

    Military personnel are operating two large black rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) inside what appears to be a well deck or flooding dock of a naval vessel. Sailors and possibly special operations forces are handling the boats in the water while observers in hard hats and uniforms watch from the deck. The scene suggests a training exercise or boat recovery/launch operation aboard a amphibious ship.
    A bald man in a black jacket is pinning something onto the collar or shoulder area of a person wearing U.S. Navy Working Uniform (NWU Type III, green digital camouflage). The setting appears to be the interior of a large naval vessel, likely a hangar bay or lower deck, identifiable by the overhead piping, yellow crane rails, and military equipment in the background. The action suggests a military pinning ceremony or uniform adjustment.
    The image shows RFA Mounts Bay (L3008), a Royal Fleet Auxiliary Bay-class landing ship dock, with its stern gate/dock open on open water. A small inflatable rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) with personnel aboard is exiting or entering the flooded well dock. A helicopter is visible on the ship's flight deck above.
    A group of military or tactical personnel are aboard a black inflatable rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) on open water. The team includes individuals wearing dive gear, camouflage uniforms, and tactical helmets, suggesting a combat dive or special operations exercise. A small orange and yellow flag is visible at the bow of the vessel.
    A black inflatable rigid hull inflatable boat (RHIB) is stationary on open choppy water carrying approximately five individuals, several of whom are wearing scuba diving gear and military-style clothing. The personnel appear to be preparing for or returning from a dive operation. The setting suggests a military or law enforcement maritime training or operational exercise.
    An aerial top-down view of a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) alongside a large naval vessel, connected by multiple lines and ropes. Several personnel in military/naval uniforms and helmets are visible on the boat, appearing to conduct a boat recovery or transfer operation. The image is taken from the deck or superstructure of the larger ship looking straight down.

In the far background near the horizon, a larger vessel — possibly a cargo or utility ship — is visible.
    A large military landing ship designated L3008, named 'Mounts Bay' and registered in London, is underway on open sea. The vessel appears to be a Royal Fleet Auxiliary Bay-class landing ship auxiliary (LSA), painted in standard grey naval livery. The ship's open deck is loaded with military vehicles and equipment, and its stern ramp/door is visible on the starboard quarter.
    The image shows a large military landing ship designated L3008, named 'Mounts Bay', underway on open water. The vessel appears to be a Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) Bay-class landing ship dock, painted in light grey with a large superstructure and open deck area. The ship is photographed from an elevated aerial perspective under clear sky conditions.
    A military aircrew member is seated inside a helicopter or military aircraft, wearing a flight helmet with visor and communications equipment. The individual appears to be monitoring instruments or looking downward while in flight. The interior of the aircraft is visible with structural panels, wiring, and a window showing sky outside.
