U.S. Sailors, assigned to amphibious transport dock ship USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26), moor the ship to the pier at Naval Base San Diego, April 11, 2026. John P. Murtha is in port at Naval Base San Diego after supporting NASA’s Artemis II mission, retrieving the crew and spacecraft following their return to Earth and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four astronauts on a flight around the moon in the Orion space capsule, marking the first time humans journeyed to deep space in over 50 years.
