230405-N-LK647-1129 NAVAL STATION NORFOLK (April 5, 2023) A view of the interior of the quarterdeck bell of the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Normandy (CG 60), on which is inscribed the names of children who have been christened or baptized aboard the ship, while Normandy is in home port with the Ford Carrier Strike Group, April 5, 2023. The tradition of performing consecrations or baptisms using a ship’s bell originated with the British Navy, but is maintained by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard and is considered good luck.
