    Retired Navy Chaplain Cmdr. Keith Schuley, a contracted Catholic Priest at Naval Base San Diego (NBSD), performs a baptism aboard the flight deck of USS Boxer (LHD 4) while moored at NBSD, May 5, 2025. A naval tradition, the ship’s bell is removed from the headstock and placed in a stand upside down for the baptism. After the ceremony, the child’s name is engraved inside the bell. Boxer is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship currently homeported at NBSD. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Roland Ardon)
