The team is from Naval Air Facility Misawa, and its tenant and deployed commands, and is creating a snow sculpture on behalf of the base for the city's annual festival on northern Japan’s Hokkaido Island. This is the 30th year that the naval installation has sent a delegation of sailors to take part in the city's festival. The team intends to create a scaled-down replica of USS George Washington's forecastle out of snow and ice. (U.S. Navy photo by Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist Daniel Sanford)
