GULF OF ADEN (Sept. 14 2018) – Newly advanced chief petty officers stand at attention in the hangar bay of Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during a chief petty officer pinning ceremony while on a regularly scheduled deployment of Essex Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).
