    Several naval personnel are raising or handling the United States flag aboard a military vessel at sea. The large American flag is fully unfurled and waving prominently in the wind against a partly cloudy blue sky. The scene appears to depict a formal flag-raising ceremony on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship.

    U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4) hoist the ship’s battle ensign from the ship’s signal bridge during flight operations, June 24, 2026. Boxer, flagship of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group, is underway with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit in the U.S.7th Fleet area of operations. U.S. 7th Fleet, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific.

    Several naval personnel are raising or handling the United States flag aboard a military vessel at sea. The large American flag is fully unfurled and waving prominently in the wind against a partly cloudy blue sky. The scene appears to depict a formal flag-raising ceremony on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship.
    A female sailor or military personnel is handling what appears to be the United States flag on an elevated platform of a naval vessel. She is wearing a tan/khaki hoodie and protective hearing equipment (earmuffs), smiling as she manages the flag. Behind her, a large blue flag with a white star — consistent with a U.S. Navy or military command flag — is billowing in the wind.
    Four U.S. Navy personnel are observed on what appears to be the deck of the USS Boxer, wearing hearing protection (ear muffs) and looking upward. They are dressed in standard Navy blue coveralls/utilities with visible 'U.S. NAVY' and 'USS BOXER' patches. The scene suggests they are observing flight deck or overhead operations requiring hearing protection.
    A large American flag flies vigorously in strong wind from a mast aboard a U.S. Navy warship at sea. On the flight deck below, a tiltrotor aircraft — identifiable as an MV-22 Osprey — is positioned with its rotors spinning, suggesting it is preparing for takeoff or has just landed. The vessel is underway in open blue ocean under partly cloudy skies.
