U.S. Navy 'swim calls' - 2016
When you're job is sailing the seas, the World is your swimming pool.
These amazing pictures show sailors and marines from the U.S. Navy taking part in what they call 'swim calls'.
Most recently pictured earlier this month (Feb) are those cooling off by jumping from into the Indian Ocean from guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam.
With the ship anchored, Swim Calls are seen as a refreshing break from the job of keeping high-tech battleships running.
The activity often occurs in warm foreign waters, such as the Mediterranean, Arabian and South China seas, the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Suffice to say, there will be people tasked with shark watch, from the ship and rigid-hulled inflatable boats.
Swimmers are able to clamber back onto the ship via landing docks or by climbing cargo nets.

Man spends 62 years making fleet of 430 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks, Blandford, Dorset, Britain - 24 Aug 2010

The Matchstick Armada
A man has spent the past 62 years faithfully recreating an armada of 432 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks and wooden match boxes.
Over the last six decades Philip Warren has painstakingly crafted every naval warship afloat, in service or to have come in since the Second World War.
The ever growing collection, which currently stands at 432, has been drawing huge crowds at exhibitions across the country since 1953.
79-year-old Philip, a retired company director from Blandford, Dorset, began creating his first ship in 1948 when he was just 17 years old.
He uses a razor blade, tweezers and sandpaper to carve the matches and boxes before piecing them together using PVA and balsa wood glue.
In total he has utilized more than 650,000 to create his incredibly detailed 1:300. scale models.
Each is based on plans, drawings and photographs of the real ships and are accurate scale models.
Going one step further, Philip has even crafted 1,200 model aircraft to make his carrier ships even more realistic.
Included amongst his matchstick fleet are the HMS Ark Royal, HMS Belfast and HMS Sheffield.
Vessels from the US Navy include the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz.
One average each ship takes around 1,500 matches and up to three months to build.
However, the larger creations can be made of 5,000 matches and 200 boxes and take up to a year to put together.
Philip's most recent model is the Royal Navy's newest destroyer - HMS Daring - which was formally commissioned in July.
He said: "I started building ships when I was 17, like every other boy back then, and I used what was around me.
"Matches were much more common then - they were used all day, every day, and every man would carry a matchbox with him.
"I looked back to ships from 1945 onwards, from the end of t...
