![A ceremonial event at Ingalls Shipbuilding facility where a worker in an orange hard hat and welding gear is performing a keel-laying or steel-cutting ceremony on a metal plaque. The plaque appears to read 'Richard M. [something] Jr.' and is being documented by a cameraman while a large crowd of workers and officials wearing white hard hats observe in the background. The event appears to be a formal shipbuilding milestone ceremony.](https://d1ldvf68ux039x.cloudfront.net/thumbs/photos/1904/5261926/75x75_q95.jpg "Navy lays keel of LPD 29")
