    A worker wearing a white hard hat and safety glasses is signing a large metal disc, likely a ship's propeller blade, with a marker. The surface is covered with numerous signatures and inscriptions, suggesting this is a ceremonial tradition. One visible inscription reads 'EL TIBURON BLANCO 2019', along with other names such as 'SN ARAKARI' and 'SN WATSON'.

    Cmdr. Alain Balmaceda, commanding officer Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast, signs the cutter's rudder “El Tiburon Blanco” after a successful dry dock in Bellingham, Wash., Nov. 17, 2018.

    The Cutter Steadfast reportedly earned the nickname “El Tiburon Blanco” to Colombian drug traffickers, translating to “The White Shark” for being a nemesis to their smuggling operations.

    A large group of approximately 40-50 workers in navy coveralls and hard hats pose in front of the bow of a vessel named 'STEADFAST' in a dry dock. The ship is elevated on supports, with its propellers and rudder clearly visible beneath the hull. The setting appears to be a shipyard facility, likely during a maintenance, repair, or commissioning period.

    A U.S. Coast Guard cutter with hull number 623 is underway on a wide body of water, passing beneath a large steel truss bridge. The vessel displays the distinctive Coast Guard diagonal red stripe and insignia on its white hull. Forested hills and mountains are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
