    Two personnel wearing face masks and military-style uniforms are performing maintenance work inside what appears to be a submarine torpedo room. One technician is using a large torque wrench on a torpedo tube breach door, while a second individual holds a flashlight to illuminate the work area. The environment shows multiple circular torpedo tube openings with heavy mechanical hardware typical of submarine weapons systems.

    PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 29, 2020) - Sailors assigned to Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Jefferson City (SSN 759) load a Mark 48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) torpedo during the Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) Exercise 2020 sink exercise (SINKEX). Ten nations, 22 ships, one submarine, and more than 5,300 personnel are participating in Exercise Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) from August 17 to 31 at sea around the Hawaiian Islands. RIMPAC is a biennial exercise designed to foster and sustain cooperative relationships, critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific region. The exercise is a unique training platform designed to enhance interoperability and strategic maritime partnerships. RIMPAC 2020 is the 27th exercise in the series that began in 1971.
