    A naval ceremony is taking place outdoors in overcast weather. A naval officer in dress uniform is shaking hands with an elderly civilian man, while enlisted sailors in dress blues stand at attention in a line behind the officer. The scene appears to be a formal military event such as a commissioning, decommissioning, or change of command ceremony.
