    Two side-by-side photographs taken aboard a naval or coast guard vessel at sea. The left image shows a sailor in color posing near a large mounted telescope/binocular on deck, while the right black-and-white image shows two crew members performing maintenance or operational tasks on deck. Both images depict maritime military or coast guard operations in open water conditions.

    Seaman Conte maintains a lookout aboard the Pride of the Pacific...USCGC Morgenthau (WHEC 722) in January 2017 during an Alaska patrol. After 48 years of service, today they returned to Honolulu from their final patrol. Morgenthau was commissioned in 1969 and will be decommissioned in April. "It's amazing to think of how many shipmates have stood up here as a lookout over the past nearly 50 years ensuring the safety of the ship through snow, wind and heat. It is a great privilege to be one of the last." - SN Conte (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Ensign Brandon Newman/Released, Historical image circa 1970)
