    The image shows a military well deck operation aboard a naval vessel, where personnel in combat gear are boarding or recovering a Zodiac-style inflatable rubber raiding craft (CRRC). Ship crew members wearing hard hats and life vests are managing lines and overseeing the operation, while the stern gate is open to the sea. This appears to be a special operations insertion or extraction exercise.

    U.S. Marines and Sailors prepare to launch a combat rubber raiding craft inflatable boat during Littoral Exercise I (LEX) aboard the USS Wichita (LCS-13) on Jan. 25, 2022. During LEX I, Marines and Sailors are experimenting with new concepts and forces to prepare for future scenarios in littoral environments along the East Coast. LEX I is the first time a Blue-Green team conducted amphibious, ship-to-shore operations while embarked on a littoral combat ship. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Elijah J. Abernathy)

    A person is operating an industrial or military control panel illuminated by multiple green indicator lights in a dimly lit environment. The panel features numerous switches, knobs, and toggle controls, with several green LEDs actively lit, suggesting operational status. The setting appears to be a ship, submarine, or heavy machinery control room.
    The image shows the well deck of a U.S. Navy amphibious ship during a boat launch or recovery operation. Personnel in red life vests and colored hard hats are managing a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) on a launch rail system, with the stern gate open to the sea. Additional military personnel with gear and equipment are visible on the right side of the deck.
    The image shows a military naval operation viewed from the stern well deck of USS LCS-13, with personnel observing a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) approaching or departing in open water. Multiple sailors and marines are visible on the ship's deck, with safety equipment and ship infrastructure clearly visible. An American flag is visible on the RIB in the background.
    The image shows a well deck or stern gate of a military naval vessel with two rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) operating in open water. Personnel wearing military uniforms and safety gear are visible both on the ship's deck and aboard the small craft. One of the RIBs displays a United States flag, indicating this is a U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps operation, likely a small boat training exercise or boarding operation.
