    A group of approximately 11 young naval personnel in dark blue coveralls pose together on the deck of a military vessel at sea. Most individuals are wearing hearing protection/headsets, suggesting they are or were recently in a high-noise environment such as a flight deck. The group appears to be in good spirits, smiling for a group photograph.
