Petty Officer 3rd Class Sunny Qiu, machinist's mate, spins the "ahead" throttle on the main throttle board in the main engineering spaces to slow down the number one engine aboard the amphibious transport dock ship USS Ponce (LPD 15). Qiu is also an artist, and painted Ponce's main throttle board to look like the American flag. The Ponce is part of the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group and is bringing food, water, and heavy-lift equipment to support humanitarian relief efforts for flood victims in Pakistan.
