    Two naval personnel standing on the deck of a warship are firing a line-throwing gun, with a red line visibly trailing the projectile into the air over the ship's wake. Both sailors are wearing orange life vests and hard hats — one red, one blue — indicating a replenishment at sea (RAS) or line-transfer evolution. The deck markings include 'DANGER AREA' painted in red, consistent with standard U.S. Navy shipboard safety markings.

    EAST CHINA SEA (July 6, 2021) Sailors prepare to fire a line from the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56) to Lewis and Clark-class dry cargo ship USNS Alan Shepard (T-AKE 3) during a replenishment at sea. McCain is assigned to Task Force 71/Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest DESRON and the U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force.
