Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Command Element, stand in a promotion formation on the flight deck aboard the USS Makin Island as it approaches the Coronado Bay Bridge, outside of San Diego, Oct. 1. This is the first time Marines have deployed aboard the Makin Island since it's commissioning. The amphibious assault ship departed Naval Base San Diego Oct. 1, and began a two-week deployment to showcase the MEU's capabilities during Fleet Week San Francisco.
