    A large US Navy amphibious transport dock ship bearing hull number 17 is underway at sea under overcast skies. The vessel displays the characteristic angular, stealthy superstructure design of the San Antonio-class (LPD-17) amphibious warships. The ship appears to be in active service, sailing through moderately choppy open ocean.

    A large US Navy amphibious transport dock ship bearing hull number 17 is underway at sea under overcast skies. The vessel displays the characteristic angular, stealthy superstructure design of the San Antonio-class (LPD-17) amphibious warships. The ship appears to be in active service, sailing through moderately choppy open ocean.
    A large gray naval vessel, consistent with a US Navy amphibious transport dock ship, is being guided into port by tugboats, with smoke visible from its exhaust. The port is identified by the crane markings as 'Bolivariana de Puertos,' a Venezuelan state port authority. A red-and-white channel marker is visible in the foreground near a rocky jetty.
    A large gray naval warship is being guided into a port by tugboats, with large red and blue container cranes visible on the left side of the image. The port features a red and white striped lighthouse/marker on a small rocky breakwater in the foreground. The scene depicts a military vessel maneuvering in calm harbor waters under a partly cloudy sky.
    The image shows a port facility with large container cranes bearing the text 'Bolivariana de Puertos,' indicating a Venezuelan state-owned port authority. A red and white channel marker or small lighthouse sits on a rocky breakwater in the foreground, while a small motorboat leaves a wake trail in the calm blue water. Additional vessels and a distant lighthouse or navigation marker are visible in the background.
    A military hovercraft (LCAC - Landing Craft Air Cushion) is navigating through a harbor entrance, generating a spray wake as it moves at speed. In the background, large red and blue container cranes branded 'Bolivariana de Puertos' and 'ZPMC' are visible at a port facility. A red and white striped channel marker lighthouse stands on a rocky breakwater in the foreground.
    A U.S. Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) numbered 28 is operating at high speed in a harbor or port area, generating large plumes of spray and mist. The hovercraft is moving across the water surface supported by its inflated skirt, with visible turbine exhaust and water displacement. A concrete pier and navigation markers are visible in the background.
