    A long line of military personnel in camouflage uniforms stand at attention along the edge of what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck, overlooking open water. The formation stretches diagonally across the deck, suggesting a formal manning-the-rails ceremony. Yellow deck markings and safety railings are visible, consistent with an amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier flight deck.

    Marines and sailors of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) man the rails as the USS Wasp (LHD-1) pulls into Naval Station Norfolk, Va., after supporting disaster relief operations in New York in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Nov. 12, 2012. The 26th MEU is able to provide generators, fuel, clean water, and helicopter lift capabilities to aid in disaster relief efforts. The 26th MEU is currently conducting pre-deployment training, preparing for their departure in 2013. As an expeditionary force operating from the sea the MEU is a Marine Air-Ground Task Force capable of conducting amphibious operations, crisis response, and limited contingency operations.

    The image is taken from an elevated position on what appears to be a large vessel or dock, looking out over a calm bay or harbor. In the middle distance, a pier or breakwater structure with a small building extends into the water. The sky is clear and blue with excellent visibility across the horizon.

    An aerial/elevated view of a military naval pier showing a large gray warship docking or moored alongside a pier. Several military personnel in camouflage uniforms are standing on the pier observing the vessel, with mooring lines visible extending from the ship to the dock. The background shows a calm waterway with additional pier structures and what appears to be a port facility in the distance.
    A group of silhouetted individuals, likely military personnel, are standing inside what appears to be the open bay or hangar deck of a large naval vessel, looking outward toward a harbor. A large gray warship with the number '7' visible on its superstructure is docked nearby. The backlit composition creates strong silhouettes against the bright exterior light.
    A group of military personnel in camouflage uniforms are standing in silhouette, observing a large naval vessel from what appears to be the interior bay or deck of another ship. The figures are backlit, creating strong silhouettes against the illuminated hull of the adjacent vessel. The setting appears to be a well deck or hangar bay of an amphibious assault ship.
    Military personnel, appearing to be U.S. Marines and Navy sailors, are moving through what appears to be the interior deck of a naval vessel, likely an amphibious assault ship. The troops are carrying full combat gear and large tactical backpacks, suggesting an embarkation or debarkation operation. A blue banner overhead reads 'HONOR TRADITION EXCELLENCE - LIVE IT', consistent with U.S. Navy or Marine Corps mottos.
    A group of U.S. Marines in woodland MARPAT camouflage uniforms are assembled on a pier or dock with large quantities of military gear and duffel bags staged in front of them. A large U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship dominates the background, flying the American flag and naval signal flags from its island superstructure. The scene appears to depict a pre-embarkation or deployment staging event.
