    An overhead view of a heavy industrial or offshore facility showing large cylindrical pressure vessels or wellhead equipment being worked on. The scene appears to be on a ship deck or offshore platform, with significant rust, corrosion, and maintenance activity visible. Multiple large circular openings, flanged connections, and lifting equipment are present, suggesting active decommissioning, installation, or maintenance operations.

    The Reactor Pressure Vessel aboard the STURGIS, the Army’s retired floating nuclear power plant recently decommissioned, is carefully lifted in order to be placed in the specially designed shielded shipping container to its left at the end of May 2017. Once in the container, it was then loaded onto a transport vehicle to be delivered to the Waste Control Specialists disposal facility, in Andrews County, Texas for disposal. With the removal of the STURGIS’ Reactor Pressure Vessel, approximately 98 percent of the radioactivity from the STURGIS and a total of 850,000 pounds of radioactive waste had been safely removed and disposed of at that time.

    A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District representative wearing a high-visibility vest and white hard hat is briefing a group of first responders and construction personnel at an outdoor industrial or construction site. The group includes firefighters in dark uniforms, a uniformed officer in a blue shirt, and workers in hard hats. The setting appears to be a safety or site orientation briefing.
    A large dark-hulled vessel named 'STURGIS', identified as belonging to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and homeported in Virginia, is docked at a port facility. Five workers wearing high-visibility vests and hard hats are standing on the bow deck, appearing to observe or inspect the surroundings. Blue mooring lines are visible securing the vessel to the dock.
    The image shows a heavy-lift industrial operation aboard what appears to be a cargo vessel or barge, where workers in high-visibility safety gear are overseeing the lowering or placement of a large wrapped/shrink-wrapped component into an open cargo hold. A large cylindrical dark metal object is already positioned in the hold, while a second large white-wrapped bundle is being suspended by orange lifting straps connected to a crane above. The setting appears to be an industrial port or shipyard facility.

The scene appears to be on a ship deck or offshore platform, with significant rust, corrosion, and maintenance activity visible.

    A large black-hulled vessel marked 'Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army' is moored or transiting a waterway, likely the Panama Canal based on the tropical vegetation and canal infrastructure visible. The ship features extensive superstructure, cranes, and specialized equipment consistent with a dredging or engineering support vessel. The photograph appears to be from the mid-to-late 20th century based on color film characteristics.
