    The image shows a naval close-in weapon system (CIWS) actively firing, with a visible muzzle flash and smoke trail extending to the left. The weapon system is mounted on what appears to be a naval vessel, photographed from a low angle against a partly cloudy blue sky. A red warning sign is partially visible in the lower left corner of the frame.

    U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin (DDG 89) fires its close-in weapon system during a pre-action aim calibration fire while underway in the Indian Ocean, July 29, 2026. Mustin is forward-deployed and assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the Navy’s largest DESRON and U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force. U.S. 7th Fleet, the Navy’s largest forward-deployed numbered fleet, routinely interacts and operates with allies and partners in preserving a free and open Indo-Pacific.

    A close-up, low-angle photograph of a naval close-in weapon system (CIWS) mounted on a warship deck, photographed against a blue sky with scattered clouds. The system features a multi-barrel rotary cannon with a visible ammunition belt feed and an electro-optical/infrared sensor pod. The gray painted housing and structural components are clearly visible, consistent with a modern naval defense installation.
    The image is taken from the deck of a naval warship at sea, looking forward over the bow. A large naval gun turret with dual barrels is prominently visible in the center foreground, pointing toward the open ocean. The scene is captured under partly cloudy skies with sunlight reflecting off the water.
    A low-angle upward shot of what appears to be a naval close-in weapon system (CIWS), likely a Phalanx or similar rotary cannon mount, photographed against a partly cloudy blue sky. The image is taken from the deck of a naval vessel, with visible ammunition feed and multi-barrel gun assembly pointing skyward. Strong sun flare from the lower left adds a dramatic photographic effect.
