    Three military personnel in dark dress uniforms are conducting what appears to be a burial at sea ceremony aboard a naval vessel. A folded American flag and a white container (likely containing cremated remains) are visible on a blue-draped table, with the open ocean visible in the background. The personnel are wearing face masks, suggesting this ceremony took place during the COVID-19 pandemic period.

    Lt. Col. Nancy Christ is committed the sea during a burial at sea ceremony on USS Gerald R. Ford's (CVN 78) aircraft elevator #3, June 11, 2021. During the ceremony, the cremains of 15 veterans were committed to the sea in the Atlantic Ocean. 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 harsh conditions they might encounter in battle.
