    A naval warship is launching a missile from its vertical launch system (VLS), with a large plume of white and orange exhaust smoke visible at the base of the missile. The vessel appears to be a U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, identifiable by the hull number '15' visible on the superstructure. The image was taken from a low angle against a clear blue sky, capturing the missile in the early phase of its ascent.
    A U.S. Navy warship is launching a missile, visible as a bright flame and large white smoke plume rising steeply into a clear blue sky. The vessel displays the hull number '15' and an American flag on its superstructure, consistent with a guided-missile cruiser or destroyer. A red flag is also visible on a line, typically indicating live-fire or weapons exercise conditions.
