People at Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard, California, walk along jetty rocks to watch as USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) departs from Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division after a recent Combat Systems Assessment Team event. The destroyer is named in honor of Lt. William “Bill” C. Fitzgerald, who was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism in the Vietnam War. Four shamrocks in the ship’s crest represent Fitzgerald's Irish family and heritage, and the crew’s uniforms and caps bear the shamrock emblem as well. (U.S. Navy photo by Dana Rene White)
