    A small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone is airborne above the flight deck of a U.S. Navy vessel, observed by a crowd of personnel and civilians. An American flag is visible on the ship's superstructure, and deck crew members are present including one in a signal vest. The scene appears to be a demonstration or operational test of the UAV system.

    ATLANTIC OCEAN (July 24, 2019) A VBAT vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system (UAS) launches from the flight deck of the Military Sealift Command expeditionary fast transport vessel USNS Spearhead (T-EPF 1). VBAT UAS provides improved detection and monitoring to support counter-narcotics missions in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. (U.S. Navy photo by Master-at-Arms 1st Class Alexander Knapp/Released)

    A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is captured in flight just after launch from the deck of a naval vessel operating in open blue water. The ship's deck is equipped with launch and recovery equipment, and several personnel are visible observing or operating the systems. The scene depicts a military maritime UAV launch operation under clear, sunny conditions.

The scene appears to be a demonstration or operational test of the UAV system.
    Naval personnel are handling a yellow torpedo-shaped underwater vehicle or sonar device being lifted by a crane with yellow rigging straps on the deck of a military vessel. Two crew members in the foreground, wearing blue hard hats and red life vests over dark coveralls, are guiding the suspended object using tag lines. The operation is taking place on an open ship deck with calm blue ocean visible in the background.
    A yellow underwater vehicle or torpedo-like device is being deployed or recovered from the stern of a naval or research vessel using a crane with yellow lifting straps. Several crew members wearing hard hats and life vests are supervising the operation on the ship's deck. The vessel is underway in open blue ocean, with visible wake turbulence at the stern.
    Three personnel are working on what appears to be a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone on the flight deck of a naval vessel. The team appears to be assembling or preparing the UAV for launch, with the aircraft mounted on what looks like a pneumatic or catapult launch rail system. The setting is an open ocean environment with clear skies and calm seas visible in the background.
    A small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has just been launched from a pneumatic or rail-based catapult launcher mounted on the deck of a naval vessel. Numerous personnel and observers line the ship's superstructure to watch the launch event. The scene takes place at sea under clear, sunny conditions.
    Two technicians in matching black polo shirts and yellow hearing protection are handling a gray unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone on what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck. The men are positioning or recovering the fixed-wing UAV, which is oriented vertically on a launch/recovery mount. The setting is an open ocean environment under clear skies.
    A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV/drone) is shown approaching or departing a naval vessel's flight deck over open ocean. Two personnel wearing hearing protection are positioned on the deck, apparently monitoring or controlling the aircraft. The scene appears to be a military UAV launch or recovery operation aboard a ship.
    The image shows the interior of a large vessel's open bay or hangar deck looking out toward open ocean. Workers are handling a yellow torpedo-shaped underwater vehicle (likely an AUV or UUV) using a crane and wheeled transport vehicle. The scene appears to be a maritime research or naval operation involving deployment or recovery of an autonomous underwater vehicle.
    A yellow underwater research or survey instrument is being deployed or recovered from a vessel into open ocean waters. The equipment appears to be a torpedo-shaped or glider-type oceanographic device suspended by yellow lifting straps. The operation is taking place from the deck of a ship, with blue mooring lines and a bollard visible in the foreground.
    The image shows an aerial vehicle photographed from directly below against a pale blue sky. The craft features a ducted fan propulsion system enclosed in a circular shroud, with fixed wings extending horizontally. The gray metallic construction and design suggest a military or surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
    A fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is being recovered or deployed via a crane-based skyhook/arrest system on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. Three personnel wearing helmets are managing lines and overseeing the operation on the ship's flight deck. The UAV appears suspended mid-air by cables attached to the crane arm, suggesting a shipboard recovery operation.
    A silhouetted person stands on what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck at dusk or dawn, with arms raised toward a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV/drone) hovering above them. The scene is backlit by a warm orange and blue twilight sky over open water. Navigation lights are visible on both the aircraft and the deck surface.
    A nighttime operation on what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck, where a person is guiding or catching a fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) during landing or launch. The drone is illuminated with navigation lights — red on the left wingtip and green on the right — consistent with standard aviation lighting conventions. The scene is dramatically lit against a dark background, highlighting the operator and the aircraft.
