    Three men — two in white U.S. Navy officer uniforms and one in a civilian suit — pose while cutting a large elaborately decorated cake shaped like an aircraft carrier bearing the hull number '73'. The event appears to be a formal military celebration or commissioning ceremony held in a large indoor venue. A crowd of military personnel and civilians is visible in the background.

    Philip Goldberg, U.S. ambassador to the Philippines, center, Rear Adm. John Alexander, commander, Battle Force 7th Fleet, right, and Capt. Greg Fenton, commanding officer of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73), make the ceremonial first cut of a cake during a welcome reception in the ship's hangar bay. George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

    Three men — two in white U.S. Navy officer uniforms and one in a civilian suit — pose while cutting a large elaborately decorated cake shaped like an aircraft carrier bearing the hull number '73'. The event appears to be a formal military celebration or commissioning ceremony held in a large indoor venue. A crowd of military personnel and civilians is visible in the background.
    A naval servicemember is using a gyrocompass or alidade bearing circle on the bridge wing of a military vessel at sea. The individual is wearing communication headsets and sunglasses while taking a navigational bearing or sighting. A landmass is visible in the background across calm blue waters under clear skies.
    A U.S. Navy aircraft carrier flight deck is shown densely packed with multiple F/A-18 Hornet/Super Hornet jet aircraft and at least one helicopter. The carrier appears to be operating in a tropical coastal region, with green mountainous islands visible in the background. The image captures a full flight deck configuration with aircraft parked in organized rows along both sides of the deck.
    A military jet aircraft numbered '504' is being positioned on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier using a tow tractor marked 'GPCX'. Several deck crew members in blue and yellow jerseys are coordinating the aircraft movement operation. The scene takes place at sea with a coastline and islands visible in the background.
