Retired Cmdr. Keith Schuley, right, the contracted Catholic Priest at Naval Base San Diego, baptizes the child of Lt. Robert Swales, assigned to USS Boxer (LHD-4) and a native of San Diego, during a ceremony held on Boxer’s flight deck while moored at NBSD, July 5, 2025. A naval tradition involves removing the ship’s bell from the headstock, placing it upside down in a stand for the baptism, and then engraving the child's name inside the bell afterward. Boxer is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship currently homeported at NBSD. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Roland Ardon).
