    CORAL SEA (July 18, 2021) — Sailors aboard USS Germantown (LSD 42) prepare to lower a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) into the water during a humanitarian assistance exercise during Talisman Sabre 21. Australian and U.S. Forces combine biannually for Talisman Sabre, a month-long multi-domain exercise that strengthens allied and partner capabilities to respond to the full range of Indo-Pacific security concerts.

    A U.S. Navy replenishment-at-sea (RAS) operation is underway between two vessels in open ocean conditions. The large vessel prominently displays the hull number '6' on its island superstructure, consistent with an amphibious assault ship. Multiple sailors in dark navy uniforms are stationed on the deck of the smaller vessel, monitoring the underway replenishment evolution.
    A group of naval personnel wearing blue hard hats and orange life vests are working on the deck of a military vessel at sea. They appear to be handling lines or ropes during what looks like an underway replenishment (UNREP) operation, with cables and rigging visible connecting to another vessel in the background. The sea conditions appear moderately rough with white-capped waves visible alongside the ship.
    Military or naval personnel in dark blue uniforms are conducting a casualty evacuation drill aboard what appears to be a naval vessel. A simulated casualty is strapped to an orange rescue/litter stretcher and is being transported through a narrow shipboard corridor. The relaxed expressions and smiles suggest this is a training exercise rather than an actual emergency.

    An aerial view of a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) underway on open blue ocean water. The vessel carries approximately 10-15 personnel, several wearing orange life vests and colored helmets, suggesting a military or coast guard operation. The boat is moving at speed, generating a visible wake.
    A naval sailor is standing watch on the deck of a warship, using binoculars to scan the horizon over open ocean. He is wearing a navy blue uniform, sunglasses, and communication headphones. A large naval weapon system, consistent with a Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), is mounted prominently in the background.
