    The image shows a close-up of a Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) mounted on a naval vessel, actively firing as evidenced by the muzzle flash and smoke at the barrel tip. The weapon system is painted in standard naval gray and is photographed against an overcast sky with the ocean visible in the background. This appears to be a live-fire exercise or operational engagement at sea.

    U.S. Coast Guard Legend-class national security cutter USCGC Bertholf (WMSL 750) conducts a gunnery exercise utilizing the close in weapon system while underway in the Timor Sea, Sept. 9, 2026. Bertholf is forward-deployed and assigned to Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 15, the U.S. Navy’s largest DESRON and U.S. 7th Fleet’s principal surface force. U.S. 7th Fleet routinely interacts and operates alongside allies and partners to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Trinity Whalen)
