    A rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) is being hoisted by crane alongside a larger naval or coast guard vessel at sea. Two crew members wearing hard hats and orange life vests are standing on the RHIB's deck, managing lines during the lifting operation. A third person in a yellow hard hat observes from the ship's upper deck.
    A rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) is underway at speed on open ocean waters, creating a prominent wake and bow spray. The gray-painted vessel appears to be a military or government craft, with at least two crew members visible wearing white helmets and orange life vests. A small flag, consistent with a U.S. flag, is visible mounted on the vessel's superstructure.
    Naval personnel are conducting a crane hoisting operation of a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) on the deck of a military vessel. Four crew members wearing orange life vests, blue or yellow hard hats, and face masks are managing guide ropes to control the suspended watercraft. The boat, manufactured by Willard Marine (www.willardmarine.com visible on hull), is being lifted by a crane hook and rigging system.

    A military or naval personnel member is seated inside a small vessel or boat cabin, writing in a logbook or notepad. The individual is wearing a red life vest, a face mask, and a tan baseball cap with 'USS' and 'LSD' partially visible text. Through the rain-covered window, a large naval vessel is visible in the background on rough water.
    A large military naval vessel is photographed at sea under an overcast sky, appearing in silhouette against the horizon. The ship displays characteristics consistent with an amphibious dock landing ship or similar large naval vessel, featuring a flat deck area, superstructure, crane, and communications equipment. The image is taken from water level, likely from a smaller vessel or watercraft.
