    An aerial photograph shows two naval vessels sailing in formation on open ocean, accompanied by two military helicopters in flight. The left vessel is a large white hospital ship marked with prominent red crosses, consistent with Geneva Convention-protected medical vessels. The right vessel appears to be a gray military support or patrol ship flying what appears to be a Canadian flag.

    190716-N-IA905-1439 PACIFIC OCEAN (July 16, 2019) The hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), an MH-60S Seahawk assigned to the “Dragon Whales” of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 28, the Peruvian ship BAP Tacna (ARL-158), and a Peruvian Bell 412 practice maneuvering techniques. Comfort is working with health and government partners in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean to provide care on the ship and at land-based medical sites, helping to relieve pressure on national medical systems strained by an increase in Venezuelan migrants.

    GALLERY

    The image is taken from the deck of a naval or auxiliary vessel, looking out toward open ocean where two gray military ships are visible alongside. A Peruvian flag is prominently displayed on the nearer vessel, suggesting a multinational naval exercise or replenishment-at-sea operation. The foreground shows deck equipment including life raft canisters, piping, and a signal light mounted on a stanchion.
    Two crew members wearing orange safety vests labeled 'COMFORT' and hard hats stand on the deck of what appears to be the USNS Comfort, observing a nearby naval vessel flying the Peruvian flag. The scene depicts a maritime rendezvous or replenishment-at-sea operation between two ships on open ocean waters. The overcast sky and choppy seas suggest open ocean conditions.
    Two individuals in U.S. Navy uniforms are performing music on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. One person, wearing a tan cap with 'US Fleet' visible, is singing into a microphone with one arm raised, while another person in the foreground holds a red electric guitar. A second naval vessel is visible in the background with personnel observing from its deck.
    An aerial photograph shows two vessels underway at sea, with a large white hospital ship prominently displaying red cross markings sailing alongside a smaller grey naval warship. The image is taken from a high altitude, likely from a helicopter or aircraft, providing a bird's-eye view of both vessels cutting through dark blue ocean waters. The hospital ship dwarfs the accompanying warship in size.
    An aerial photograph shows two naval vessels sailing in formation on open ocean, accompanied by two military helicopters in flight. The left vessel is a large white hospital ship marked with prominent red crosses, consistent with Geneva Convention-protected medical vessels. The right vessel appears to be a gray military support or patrol ship flying what appears to be a Canadian flag.
    Two naval vessels are underway at sea, with a large white US Navy hospital ship prominently displaying red cross markings connected to a smaller gray military vessel via transfer lines. The operation appears to be an underway replenishment (UNREP), where fuel or supplies are being transferred between the two ships while both are in motion. An American flag and what appears to be a blue flag are visible on the hospital ship's mast.
    A military or special operations personnel is being hoisted or rappelling from a helicopter onto a naval vessel's flight deck. The image is captured from an aerial perspective, likely from the helicopter itself, showing the operator suspended mid-air above the ship's marked landing pad. The ocean is visible in the background, indicating an open-water maritime operation.
    A military operator in full tactical gear is fast-roping or rappelling from a helicopter over open ocean, with a ship's deck visible below. A second helicopter is visible in the background sky. The scene appears to depict a maritime special operations insertion or training exercise.
    The image shows the upper deck of a white vessel flying a large American flag alongside several nautical signal flags on the main mast. Three or four crew members are visible on deck, with one appearing to handle lines near the mast. The scene is set against a partly cloudy blue sky with open ocean visible in the background.
    A naval vessel flying the Peruvian national flag (red-white-red with coat of arms) is at sea, with two military helicopters flying overhead. The ship's superstructure is visible with multiple radar domes, communication masts, and signal flags. Naval personnel can be observed on the deck observing the aerial activity.
    Two naval vessels are conducting an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation at sea, with fuel hoses and lines visibly stretched between the ships. The ships are sailing in parallel through moderately rough ocean conditions under an overcast sky. Personnel can be observed on the deck of the vessel on the right side.
    An aerial photograph shows two naval vessels underway at sea, with a large white hospital ship prominently displaying multiple red cross markings in the background, and a smaller gray naval auxiliary or combat vessel in the foreground. The ships appear to be conducting an underway replenishment (UNREP) or close-proximity formation sailing operation on overcast open ocean. An American flag is visible on the hospital ship, and at least one helicopter can be seen on its deck.
    A military helicopter, marked with the number '40', hovers over a naval vessel's flight deck above open ocean. Two personnel are visible on the flight deck, with one appearing to have just fast-roped or disembarked from the helicopter. The scene depicts what appears to be a helicopter deck operations exercise or personnel transfer between the aircraft and ship.
