    Two U.S. Navy sailors in white dress uniforms are raising a flag on the deck of a naval vessel in what appears to be a harbor. The flag being raised is the U.S. Navy Jack, featuring red and white stripes with the text 'DON'T TREAD ON ME' and a rattlesnake motif. The background shows a waterfront with buildings, green hills, and other naval vessels, consistent with a U.S. naval base in Japan, likely Yokosuka.

    160817-N-WA993-029 YOKOSUKA, Japan (Aug. 17, 2016) Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Airman Joshua Schuster, from Simi Valley, California, lowers the First Navy Jack flag, as Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) Airman Taylor Sloan, from Portland, Oregon, catches the flag on the flight deck of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), after the ship gets underway for Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) testing. On May 22, 2002, the U.S. Navy ordered the flag to be displayed on all U.S. Navy ships during the global war on terrorism. “We have to make sure the flag never touches the ground, because it’s disrespectful,” said Sloan. Ronald Reagan provides a combat-ready force, which protects and defends the collective maritime interests of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
