    An aerial photograph shows four gray naval vessels sailing in a loose formation across open blue-gray sea. All ships appear to be military warships, each flying what appears to be a red flag, suggesting they belong to the same navy. The formation is spread across a wide area of open water with moderate wave conditions.
