    A U.S. Navy service member in camouflage uniform is rappelling down the side of what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck. The image is taken from an elevated angle looking down, showing the carrier deck below with aircraft, vehicles, and personnel visible. The rappelling activity appears to be a training exercise conducted aboard the vessel.

    U.S. Navy Lt. Thomas Sauer, with Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 5, Platoon 503, rappels from an HH-60H Seahawk helicopter onto the flight deck of the Japan-based, Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) during a fast rope and rappelling exercise in the South China Sea, July 5, 2012. George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing 5, provide a combat-ready force that will protect and defend the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
