Sailors wearing helmets and safety harnesses work to lower a rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB) over the side of a naval vessel during twilight hours at sea. A sailor identified as 'Wright' on his helmet monitors the operation from the ship's deck as a crew member aboard the suspended RHIB steadies the craft during the davit launch. The operation takes place against a dramatic sunset horizon with scattered clouds over open ocean waters.
