HMS King George V returning from Artic convoy duty as seen from an unidentified Illustrious class carrier. The picture is dated from April 20th, 1942 which would be Arctic Convoy PQ14 which had just reached Murmansk on April 18th, 1942. I believe the carrier is question has to the HMS Victorious because it was the only carrier escorting the convoy and by the setup of the OF 4.5 gun mountings.

USN:
USNS Grapple (T-ARS 53) and USNS Grasp (T-ARS 51) pull the grounded ex-USCGC Salvia (WLB 400) from a beach in an exercise that was supposed to require only one salvage ship, 2008.
The pictured exercise took place in November 2008. Anticipated to take a day or two, the outgoing tide ended up positioning ex-Salvia with a sandbar her path to open water. A storm later turned the wreck 180° and settled the ship 30 feet further inland. MDSU2 called in USNS Grasp to assist Grapple and together applying over 216 tons of force they were able to pull the grounded wreck off the day before Thanksgiving, eight days later than originally planned.
