    Two personnel wearing red safety helmets with yellow reflective strips and face shields are crouched down handling equipment in what appears to be a naval or industrial interior setting. They are working with a bag labeled 'INVESTIGA[TION] KIT' and appear to be preparing or packing safety/firefighting gear. One individual is wearing white protective gloves with 'DAY' written on them.

    Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Kyle Caliver, left, from San Diego, and Seaman Otto Ycaza, from Houston, both assigned to USS Gerald R. Ford’s (CVN 78) deck department, prepare gear for a general quarters drill, June 8, 2021. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean conducting Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST). The U.S. Navy conducts shock trials of new ship designs using live explosives to confirm that our warships can continue to meet demanding mission requirements under the harsh conditions they might encounter in battle.
