    A military aircrew member is looking out of an open helicopter door over a large body of open water. The individual is wearing full flight gear including a flight helmet with visor, flight suit, and harness equipment. The perspective suggests the helicopter is flying at a moderate altitude over the ocean.
    A large US Navy amphibious transport dock ship is underway at sea, displaying hull number '25' on both the bow and stern sections. The vessel is painted in standard naval haze gray and features two prominent mast/superstructure towers, a flight deck area on the port side forward, and various weapons and sensor systems. The ship appears to be traveling at moderate speed across calm-to-moderate open ocean conditions.
    Two large naval warships are underway in formation on open ocean waters under overcast skies. The foreground vessel appears to be an amphibious transport dock (LPD-class) ship, while the vessel in the background appears to be an amphibious assault ship (LHA/LHD-class) with a visible flight deck. Both ships are traveling in the same direction, leaving visible wake trails.

    A large US Navy amphibious assault ship is underway at sea in calm, deep blue open ocean conditions. The vessel's flight deck is populated with multiple rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, and the ship is making way with a visible wake at the stern. The island superstructure features radar arrays, communication masts, and sensor domes typical of Wasp-class or America-class amphibious assault ships.
