    A U.S. Coast Guard rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with hull number 26571 is underway on choppy open water. The orange-hulled vessel carries multiple crew members in red survival suits and helmets, with an American flag and what appears to be a Coast Guard ensign flying from the console. The photo appears to be taken from an elevated vantage point, possibly from a larger vessel or aircraft.

    U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Stratton (WMSL 752) crew members transit toward Royal Canadian Navy HMCS Max Bernays (AOPV 432) to conduct a boarding exercise in the Bering Sea, Sept. 8, 2026. During the third combined sail under Operation Tundra Merlin, U.S. and Canadian forces trained together and exchanged maritime best practices to increase interoperability, integrate and align defense postures along critical approaches to North America.

    An aerial surveillance image captured from an aircraft showing a large grey naval vessel numbered '432' at sea. A small orange rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with personnel aboard is positioned alongside the larger ship near an open bay or hatch on the hull. The image contains telemetry overlay data indicating aircraft position, altitude (521ft), and target coordinates.
    An aerial surveillance image captured from an aircraft at 517 feet altitude showing two large vessels at sea. The foreground vessel is a U.S. Coast Guard cutter (hull number 755), while the background vessel bears hull number 432 and appears to be a foreign naval or patrol ship. A third smaller vessel is visible in the far background to the left.
    Two U.S. Coast Guard personnel aboard a small patrol vessel are observing a larger gray naval/coast guard ship bearing hull number 432 in open water. The personnel are wearing distinctive orange immersion suits labeled 'U.S. Coast Guard' and black helmets with reflective strips. The scene appears to depict an at-sea rendezvous or approach operation under overcast skies.
