    The image is taken from the deck of a red boat looking out over vivid turquoise water toward a rocky shoreline lined with tall, slender trees. A single swimmer or snorkeler is visible in the middle distance, floating on the surface of the water. The scene suggests a recreational water activity in a tropical or subtropical coastal environment.

    USCGC Myrtle Hazard (WPC 1139) and Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Five team run sonar in the waters of Rota’s harbors to look for obstructions on July 11, 2026, allowing the Captain of the Port to lift restrictions, restoring maritime commerce flow. The U.S. Coast Guard is coordinating with port partners to address already identified hazards and new issues following Super Typhoon Bavi. Multiple navigational aids are reportedly discrepant, off station, or simply missing. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Lt. Drew Lovullo)

    The image shows personnel aboard what appears to be a military cargo aircraft (likely a C-130 Hercules) with the rear ramp open, looking out over a tropical island with turquoise waters and a coral reef. A person wearing a black vest marked 'USEPA' (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and a communications headset is prominently visible from behind. The scene suggests an aerial survey or environmental assessment mission over a Pacific or Caribbean island.
    A large cargo aircraft with its rear loading ramp deployed is shown on a wet tarmac at sunset or sunrise. A vehicle with illuminated red taillights is visible inside the cargo hold, apparently being loaded or unloaded. A single person stands to the left of the aircraft, silhouetted against a dramatic golden sky.
    A low-angle ground-level photograph taken beneath the wing of a U.S. Coast Guard fixed-wing aircraft, likely a C-130 Hercules, parked on a tarmac. The image captures the underside of the wing, engine nacelles, fuselage markings, and a pod or external tank mounted under the wing. A dark-colored pickup truck is visible in the background near the aircraft's rear ramp.
    A harbor scene showing at least two vessels at a concrete pier with yellow bollards and fenders. A large dark-hulled ship named 'HICKORY' is visible in the background approaching or departing the dock, while a white Coast Guard-style cutter (hull number partially visible as '116') is moored alongside the pier. Green hills are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
    A multi-agency emergency response briefing or planning meeting is taking place in a conference room. Personnel wearing various uniforms — including blue Coast Guard jumpsuits, red EMS/fire uniforms, and a yellow safety vest — are gathered around a central table with a laptop. The setting appears to be an official government or emergency management facility.
    The image is taken from inside the open cargo bay of a large military transport aircraft, looking toward the open rear ramp. Several personnel in flight suits and dark clothing are gathered near the ramp opening, with a pickup truck visible on the tarmac outside. The surrounding environment shows storm-damaged or sparse vegetation under a partly cloudy sky, suggesting a post-disaster or relief operation setting.
    A crew of workers in blue uniforms and safety helmets are performing maintenance or repair work on a tall navigational aid tower, likely a harbor or airport light beacon with a green lens at the top. One worker is positioned at the top platform of the concrete tower while four others manage ropes and equipment at ground level. The surrounding vegetation shows significant storm damage, suggesting this is post-hurricane or typhoon recovery work.
    The image is taken from the deck of a red boat looking out over vivid turquoise water toward a rocky shoreline lined with tall, slender trees. A single swimmer or snorkeler is visible in the middle distance, floating on the surface of the water. The scene suggests a recreational water activity in a tropical or subtropical coastal environment.
    Personnel in red life vests and military/coast guard uniforms are operating from a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) in bright turquoise coastal waters. They appear to be deploying or retrieving an underwater device or instrument over the side of the vessel. The setting appears to be a tropical island location with a rock breakwater and storm-damaged trees visible in the background.
    View from inside a ship's bridge or wheelhouse looking out through a large window onto the vessel's forward deck at sunset or sunrise. The deck is equipped with various white-painted maritime equipment and instrumentation. The ocean horizon is visible with dramatic orange and grey cloud formations in the sky.
