    A person is lying in a prone shooting position on what appears to be a ship's deck, aiming a handgun at three silhouette targets downrange. The setting suggests a military or law enforcement firearms qualification exercise conducted outdoors. The ocean horizon is visible in the background, confirming the location is aboard a naval vessel.
