    Two armed military personnel in full tactical gear are conducting what appears to be a maritime boarding or vessel clearance operation on the deck of a ship. The lead operator is aiming a rifle with an optic toward a window/doorway of the vessel's superstructure, while a second operator provides rear security. Both are wearing US Navy NWU (Naval Working Uniform) camouflage pattern, suggesting this may be a VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) training exercise or operation.

    A rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) carrying approximately eight armed military personnel in tactical gear is underway on open ocean, flying a United States flag. In the background, two vessels are visible on the horizon — one appears to be a large commercial tanker and the other a naval warship — along with a military helicopter in the upper left. The scene is consistent with a maritime interdiction or visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) operation.
    Two armed military personnel in full tactical gear are conducting what appears to be a maritime boarding or vessel clearance operation on the deck of a ship. The lead operator is aiming a rifle with an optic toward a window/doorway of the vessel's superstructure, while a second operator provides rear security. Both are wearing US Navy NWU (Naval Working Uniform) camouflage pattern, suggesting this may be a VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) training exercise or operation.
    A military or law enforcement operator in camouflage uniform is positioned at a stairwell or hatch opening on what appears to be a vessel or industrial structure, aiming a weapon with a red-dot sight. The individual is wearing a tactical helmet with night-vision mount, protective eyewear, and tan tactical gloves. Yellow caution tape is visible on the white-painted wall nearby, suggesting a training or boarding operation scenario.
    A military or law enforcement operator is conducting a close-quarters battle (CQB) drill or operation aboard what appears to be a ship or vessel interior. The individual is in full tactical gear, aiming a rifle with an active weapon-mounted light. The environment shows industrial piping and bulkhead features consistent with a naval vessel.
    A military helicopter flies above a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer operating in open ocean waters. The scene depicts a naval aviation operation with both air and surface assets visible. The sky is overcast with light cloud cover, and the sea appears calm.
    A small military rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with armed personnel in helmets and tactical gear is operating near a large US Navy destroyer bearing hull number 108. The personnel appear to be conducting a maritime security or boarding operation exercise. A helicopter is visible on the deck of the warship in the background.
    An aerial/overhead view of a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) alongside a larger vessel, with military or law enforcement personnel in tactical gear conducting what appears to be a boarding operation or personnel transfer. At least four individuals are visible, with one person in civilian/wetsuit attire and others in military uniforms with helmets and tactical equipment. A rope ladder or cargo net is visible on the side of the larger vessel.
