    A nighttime scene aboard a naval vessel, illuminated by orange/red deck lighting and a bright full moon partially obscured by clouds. Multiple personnel are gathered on the flight deck or main deck area, silhouetted against the ship's superstructure. The dramatic lighting creates a high-contrast, atmospheric composition typical of military operational photography.

    210127-N-NC885-1003 NORTH ARABIAN SEA (Jan. 27, 2021) Sailors prepare for a night live-fire exercise on the flight deck of the guided-missile destroyer USS Sterett (DDG 104). Sterett is part of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group and is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three critical chokepoints to the free flow of global commerce.

    A nighttime scene aboard a naval vessel, illuminated by orange/red deck lighting and a bright full moon partially obscured by clouds. Multiple personnel are gathered on the flight deck or main deck area, silhouetted against the ship's superstructure. The dramatic lighting creates a high-contrast, atmospheric composition typical of military operational photography.
    A shooter in a prone position fires an assault rifle at a nighttime outdoor shooting range, with muzzle flash visible at the moment of discharge. Multiple illuminated silhouette targets are visible downrange in the background. The low-light conditions and muzzle flash suggest this is a night-fire training exercise.
    A person wearing protective eyewear is firing an M16/M4-style rifle on what appears to be the deck of a naval vessel at dusk or dawn. A muzzle flash is visible at the end of the barrel, and a row of illuminated silhouette targets is visible downrange. This appears to be a live-fire qualification or training exercise conducted aboard a ship.
    A person stands on what appears to be a ship's deck at night, illuminating a fabric banner or flag depicting a religious figure, likely the Virgin Mary, with a handheld light. The scene is dramatically lit against a dark night sky with faint stars and a distant horizon over water. Additional similar banners or images are visible hanging in the background.
    A group of personnel, appearing to be military sailors, are positioned on what looks like a ship's flight deck or helicopter pad at night. They are kneeling and standing in a shooting stance facing a row of illuminated human-silhouette targets downrange. The scene appears to be a nighttime firearms qualification or marksmanship training exercise conducted at sea.
    A nighttime small arms qualification exercise is taking place on the flight deck/helicopter deck of a naval vessel at sea. Several personnel in military uniforms are in prone and kneeling shooting positions, firing at illuminated human silhouette targets strung across the forward end of the deck. The scene is captured under low-light conditions with the ocean horizon visible in the background.
