    Aircrew Survival Equipmentman 1st Class Carlos R. Freireizurieta takes a photos with a message container known as a “bean-bag” he designed and sowed together. Navy pilots would not use the plane’s onboard radio to prevent enemy eavesdropping but would fly over the ship and drop the bean-bag that would then be delivered up to the bridge. Boxer is part of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit and is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.

    A man wearing a dark blue uniform with a military-style insignia patch and safety glasses is operating an industrial sewing machine. He is carefully guiding yellow fabric through the machine, with spools of thread visible in the foreground. The setting appears to be a workshop or repair facility, consistent with a military or naval environment.

    The image shows a WWII-era canvas message bag with a red streamer/ribbon attached, labeled 'ENTERPRISE' in red lettering. An inset close-up reveals handwritten text identifying it as a 'Message Bag dropped on deck of the USS Bunker Hill by an aircraft of the USS Enterprise during WW II.' This artifact represents an inter-ship communication method used during World War II naval operations.
    Black-and-white archival footage showing a propeller-driven aircraft in a low, apparently crash-landing or emergency approach over an aircraft carrier flight deck. Multiple deck crew members are visibly scattering and running for safety. The footage is labeled 'UNCLASSIFIED' and displays a timecode of 00:10:14:10 RTC, with total video duration of 08:59.
    A black-and-white photograph showing a propeller-driven aircraft launching from or just departing an aircraft carrier flight deck, with numerous deck crew personnel visible. A second aircraft appears to have crash-landed or is positioned on the deck near the bow. An escort vessel is visible on the horizon in the background.
    A black-and-white aerial photograph showing a U.S. Navy dive bomber in flight, captured at a steep angle consistent with a dive-bombing attack. The aircraft bears the number '52' on its fuselage and displays a U.S. military star insignia on the wing. A bomb is visibly falling away from the aircraft below it.
