Members of the ship commissioning committee clap and enjoy the “man our ship and bring her to life” part of the ceremony, March 7, 2020 in Norfolk, VA.
The ship commissioning ceremony continues a tradition three centuries old, observed by navies around the world and by our own Navy since December 1775, when “Alfred”, the first ship of the Continental Navy, was commissioned at Philadelphia. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Fernando Moreno)
