    The image shows a naval formation at sea with at least three warships operating in close proximity under overcast, stormy skies. The photograph is taken from the deck of a large warship in the foreground, looking out at two additional vessels sailing in formation. The dark, choppy seas and heavy cloud cover suggest adverse weather conditions during what appears to be a multinational naval exercise or transit operation.

    The U.S. Navy’s amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD-20) with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, right, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s tank landing ship JS Osumi (LST-4001), center, move in formation behind the amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA-6) during Iron Fist 23 in the Philippine Sea Mar. 1, 2023. Iron Fist 23 provided an opportunity for ships of the USS America Amphibious Ready Group and the JMSDF to work together in coordinating large scale ship operations. Iron Fist is an annual bilateral exercise designed to increase interoperability and strengthen the relationships between the U.S. Marine Corps, the U.S. Navy, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, and the JMSDF.

    Two military naval vessels are operating in open ocean waters with mountainous coastline visible in the background under overcast skies. The larger vessel in the background appears to be a US Navy amphibious transport dock (LPD-class) ship, while the smaller vessel in the foreground appears to be a patrol or mine countermeasures vessel. The scene suggests a joint naval exercise or coordinated maritime operation.

    A large gray military naval vessel is underway on open, choppy seas under overcast and hazy conditions. The ship appears to be a frigate or destroyer-class warship with a prominent superstructure, radar masts, and a flight deck. A tandem-rotor helicopter, consistent with a CH-47 Chinook, is visible on the stern of the vessel.
    A US Navy amphibious transport dock (LPD-class) ship is observed underway in rough, stormy seas from the flight deck of another naval vessel. The foreground shows a portion of a flight deck with yellow-bordered elevator or deck markings. Weather conditions are overcast and threatening with dark storm clouds visible on the horizon.
    A large US Navy amphibious transport dock ship bearing hull number '20' is underway at sea under overcast, hazy conditions. A military helicopter, consistent with an MH-60 Seahawk type, is visible flying above and behind the vessel. The image is captured in low-light, near-monochromatic conditions giving it a dark, atmospheric quality.
    A military helicopter flies above a naval vessel in heavily overcast, foggy conditions over open ocean.
