    A large naval vessel, likely an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship, is undergoing dismantling or decommissioning operations at a shipyard. A heavy crane is lifting a large weapons or sensor system component — possibly a CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) or radar assembly — away from the ship's bow area. Multiple workers in hard hats and safety gear are supervising the lift operation from a barge or pier platform below.

    SAN DIEGO (Aug. 4, 2020) Contractors with Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) work to remove the aft mast aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6). The structural integrity of the aft mast, located above the ship’s superstructure, was compromised during a fire last month. Although damage assessments are ongoing, the Navy made the decision, for the safety of the crew, to move forward with removal. On the morning of July 12, a fire was called away aboard the ship while it was moored pier side at Naval Base San Diego. Base and shipboard firefighters responded to the fire. Bonhomme Richard is going through a maintenance availability, which began in 2018. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Jeffrey F. Yale)
