    A person leaning over the side of an inflatable rigid hull boat (RHIB) is using a pole to retrieve or deploy a torpedo-shaped underwater vehicle (UUV/AUV) in open ocean waters. The unmanned underwater vehicle appears to be partially surfaced and connected to the boat via a tether or pole. The scene suggests a military or research maritime operation involving an autonomous or remotely operated underwater system.
