    A large gray military naval vessel is photographed from an elevated aerial perspective while underway at sea. The ship appears to be a command or amphibious support vessel, identifiable by its flat deck sections, multiple radar domes, and communications masts. A small flag is visible at the top of the mast, and the vessel is creating a visible wake as it moves through moderately choppy open ocean.

    The Blue Ridge-class command and control ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) transits through the Baltic Sea as part of a NATO ship convoy during Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2026, June 14, 2026. BALTOPS 2026, the premiere maritime-focused exercise in the Baltic Sea region, provides a unique training opportunity to strengthen combined response capabilities critical to preserving freedom of navigation and security in the Baltic Sea.

    The image shows three naval vessels operating at sea under a partly cloudy sky. The closest vessel is a mid-sized warship or patrol vessel in the foreground, while two larger warships are visible in the background at greater distances. The scene suggests a naval formation, patrol, or exercise at open sea.
    A gray naval warship bearing the hull number F 224 is underway on open sea under a partly cloudy sky. The vessel appears to be a modern frigate or corvette, identifiable as a German Navy (Deutsche Marine) vessel based on its hull designation. In the distant background, a row of offshore wind turbines is visible on the horizon.
