Maureen Murphy, mother of Lt. Michael P. Murphy (SEAL) and ship's sponsor, lays a coin along with several other mementos on a SEAL Delivery Team 1 flag that is to be welded into the mast of the guided-missile destroyer Pre-Commissioning Unit Michael Murphy during a mast stepping ceremony at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. The stepping of the ship's mast is a Navy tradition in which a coin is placed at the base of a ship's mast to bring good luck and safe voyages for a vessel. The pieces will remain sealed in the ship’s superstructure until decommissioning.
