    A group of U.S. Navy personnel in NWU Type III (digital camouflage) uniforms are conducting firefighting hose training, likely aboard a naval vessel. The lead sailor is directing a high-pressure water stream while teammates form a line behind, bracing against the hose's recoil. The atmosphere appears energetic and training-focused, with several personnel smiling.

    Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy perform hose handling drills alongside Sailors aboard the Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Manchester (LCS 14). Midshipmen learned shipboard damage control principles, and experienced the teamwork required to fight a fire at sea. The evolution is part of the 2026 midshipman summer training program, which immerses future officers in fleet operations to build day-one leadership readiness and showcase the surface warfare mission. Littoral combat ships are fast, optimally-manned, mission-tailored surface combatants that operate in near-shore and open-ocean environments, winning against 21st-century coastal threats.
