Description

A Polnocny-class landing ship photographed by U.S. Navy Lockheed S-3A Vikings of Anti-Submarine Squadron VS-22 "Checkmates". VS-22 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 3 (CVW-3) aboard the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) for a deployment to the Mediterranean Sea from 18 August 1986 to 2 March 1987.

Due to the hull number "118" this is probably the Libyan navy ship Ibn el Furath.
