    A large US Navy amphibious warfare ship is conducting a well deck launch operation at sea, deploying multiple Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAVs) into open water. The illuminated well deck at the stern of the vessel is clearly visible, with several AAVs already in the water moving away from the ship. The image appears to capture a military amphibious exercise or operation under overcast, low-light conditions.
