Lt. John Fitzpatrick, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) chaplain, baptizes a baby in the ship’s bell at the Naval Air Station North Island Chapel, Dec. 6, 2025. This naval tradition involves removing the ship’s bell from the headstock, placing it upside down in a stand for the baptism, and engraving the child’s name inside the bell afterward.
