    An amphibious wheeled military vehicle is shown partially submerged in water, either embarking or disembarking from a large naval vessel via a lowered bow or stern ramp. The vehicle appears to be a multi-axle armored personnel carrier or infantry fighting vehicle, silhouetted against the ramp and open water. The scene depicts a military amphibious landing or loading operation.

    An Amphibious Combat Vehicle with Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch, Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity, is staged in preparation to depart the well deck of the amphibious transport dock ship USS Somerset (LPD 25) as part of the vehicle’s developmental testing off the shore of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Jan. 28, 2020. The Marines of AVTB are currently testing the Marine Corps’ newest amphibious vehicle, which will replace the current Amphibious Assault Vehicle. The testing consisted of entering and departing a naval vessel to assess and verify how well the ACV can integrate with naval shipping. This was the first time Marines have operated the new vehicle while boarding and departing a ship. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Drake Nickels)

    Military personnel are working with a wheeled armored vehicle, likely an LAV-25 or Stryker-type 8-wheeled armored personnel carrier, inside what appears to be the well deck of a naval amphibious ship. The wet deck surface and large metal-plated walls are consistent with a ship's flooding well deck used for amphibious operations. Three personnel are visible interacting with the vehicle in various positions.
    The image shows the interior well deck of a military amphibious assault ship, with armored vehicles staged along the right side. A single silhouetted figure walks toward the open stern gate, through which water and exterior light are visible. The scene suggests preparation for or completion of an amphibious operation.
    The image shows the interior of a naval vessel's well deck, with military armored vehicles being loaded or staged for amphibious operations. Several personnel are visible working on the wet deck floor, silhouetted against the bright opening at the stern of the ship. The scene is characteristic of an amphibious assault ship or landing platform dock (LPD) during vehicle operations.

    A military amphibious assault vehicle (AAV) is approaching the stern well deck of a large naval vessel, likely an amphibious transport dock or landing ship. Personnel are visible on the ship's deck observing the operation, and a green flag is displayed. The scene depicts a standard amphibious recovery or loading operation at sea.
    A military amphibious armored vehicle, likely an AAV (Assault Amphibious Vehicle) or LAV, is positioned inside the well deck of a naval amphibious ship, preparing to exit through the open stern gate into open water. A silhouetted soldier is visible atop the vehicle. The well deck floor is wet, indicating recent or ongoing flooding of the deck in preparation for amphibious operations.
    A camouflage-painted amphibious combat vehicle (ACV) is positioned inside the well deck of a naval amphibious assault ship. Military personnel in various uniforms are gathered around the vehicle, with one individual directing or signaling from the left. The setting appears to be a training or loading operation aboard a U.S. Navy vessel.
    Military personnel are overseeing the loading or unloading of armored vehicles inside what appears to be the well deck of a naval amphibious ship. Two tracked armored vehicles, consistent with AAV (Amphibious Assault Vehicles) or similar platforms, are being maneuvered while sailors and Marines observe and guide the operation. The scene depicts a coordinated vehicle embarkation or debarkation exercise.
    A military amphibious assault ship with the motto 'LET'S ROLL' and hull number 93 is shown with its stern well deck open, as an amphibious assault vehicle (AAV) or similar tracked amphibious vehicle enters or exits the flooded well deck. The ship appears to be a U.S. Navy San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock (LPD). Multiple personnel in various colored uniforms are visible on deck observing the operation.
    An amphibious assault vehicle (AAV) is navigating through open ocean water with a crew member visible in the open hatch. A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) is visible in the background. This appears to be a military amphibious training or operational exercise.
    An amphibious assault vehicle in green camouflage paint is launching from the well deck of a large naval vessel, creating significant water spray as it exits into open water. Personnel in safety gear and hard hats are visible on an observation deck above the well deck opening, monitoring the operation. This appears to be a military amphibious operations exercise or deployment.
