    Three naval warships are moored at a pier, with two vessels flying what appear to be Republic of Korea (South Korean) naval ensigns and one flying a United States flag. The ship in the center bears the hull number 973, and the rightmost ship bears the number 73, consistent with a US Navy Ticonderoga-class cruiser. A small tugboat is visible between the vessels, and the scene appears to be at a naval base, possibly Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
