    Two naval vessels are conducting a Replenishment at Sea (RAS) or close-formation exercise in open blue ocean waters. The vessel numbered '155' — identifiable as a frigate, likely HMAS Ballarat or similar Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Adelaide or Anzac-class ship — is sailing in close parallel formation to the photographing vessel. Personnel in colored safety vests and helmets are lined along the deck of the foreground ship, suggesting an active underway replenishment or coordination evolution.

    CORAL SEA (July 26, 2021) The Royal Australian Navy frigate HMAS Ballarat (FFH 155) pulls alongside the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6) to conduct a fueling-at-sea in support of flight deck operations during Exercise Talisman Sabre 21. Australian and U.S. Forces combine biennially 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 concerns.
