    Two individuals are seated on the deck of a naval or maritime vessel at sea. One person wearing a blue hard hat, blue safety vest, and yellow harness appears to be assisting or adjusting equipment on the second person, who is wearing a gray rash guard and an inflatable life vest/harness. The activity appears to be a safety or rescue-related procedure conducted on an open deck with ocean visible in the background.
    Three personnel are working on the deck of a naval vessel at sea. Two workers wearing blue hard hats and safety vests are actively handling rigging equipment near a pulley system mounted on a vertical pole, while a third person in a yellow hard hat and yellow shirt observes. The operation appears to involve rope and block-and-tackle rigging work over the ship's side.
    A rescue swimmer or combat swimmer is being hoisted out of open ocean water via a rope/hoist line. The individual is wearing full water rescue gear including an orange helmet, dive goggles, a harness, inflated life vest, and swim fins. They are giving a thumbs-up signal, indicating they are ready or okay during what appears to be a military or coast guard rescue training exercise.
