    A worker in full personal protective equipment is handling heavy industrial chains atop a large black structure, likely during a rigging or lifting operation. The worker is wearing a yellow hard hat, safety glasses, a hooded jacket, and a safety harness with carabiners. The overcast sky and industrial setting suggest an outdoor heavy-industry worksite.

    BREMERTON, Wash. (Feb. 24, 2026) -- Alexander Hackett, rigger, Code 740 Riggers, hooks rigging gear to the sail of the ex-USS Norfolk (SSN 714) before it is lifted, Feb. 24, 2026, at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Bremerton, Washington. The sail and fairwater planes from the ex-Norfolk were loaded onto long-haul trucks at PSNS & IMF for transportation to the submarine's namesake city of Norfolk, Virginia, where they will be refurbished and put on public display.

    A large dark-painted ship propeller or marine propulsion component is being lifted by a crane using heavy chains at what appears to be a naval shipyard or industrial maritime facility. The component is suspended above a flatbed trailer marked 'OVERSIZE LOAD,' suggesting it was recently delivered or is being repositioned. Several workers wearing hard hats and safety gear are visible on the ground overseeing the lift operation.
    A large industrial shipyard or heavy manufacturing facility where workers are overseeing a crane lift of a massive dark-painted metal ship section or hull component. Several workers wearing yellow hard hats are guiding the suspended structure using tag lines. On the ground below, additional rusted metal vessel sections or components are visible, some marked with graffiti-style text including 'SAVE'.
    A shipyard worker wearing a yellow hard hat, safety glasses, and a harness is positioned on the bow of a large dark-hulled vessel, handling heavy anchor chains connected to a crane lifting block. The photo is taken from a dramatic low-angle perspective, emphasizing the scale of the ship and industrial equipment. A yellow tower crane and blue gantry crane (marked '80') are visible in the background against a partly cloudy sky.
    Workers in safety gear are overseeing the crane-assisted loading or unloading of a large dark-colored propeller assembly onto a flatbed semi-truck trailer. The operation is taking place in front of a large industrial building with a sign reading 'Home of Shops 56 & 57'. The propeller appears to be a marine or industrial type, suspended by heavy chains from an overhead crane.
    A large naval propeller is being lifted by a heavy-duty blue gantry crane at what appears to be a naval shipyard or industrial port facility. The propeller, which is dark/black in color with multiple blades, is suspended by heavy chains over a flatbed semi-trailer truck. Workers in safety gear are visible on the ground supervising the lift operation.
    A white semi-truck with a Benson flatbed trailer is positioned in an industrial yard, carrying a large dark-colored heavy equipment component secured with yellow straps. The truck appears to be near a large warehouse or industrial building with a roll-up bay door. The surrounding area features rail tracks embedded in the pavement, yellow safety barriers, and scaffolding structures.
    Two workers wearing yellow hard hats and safety glasses are engaged in heavy industrial or construction work involving large wooden beams and black metal structural components. The foreground worker, identified by a name tag reading 'DICKEY' on his helmet, is focused on positioning or examining a wooden timber. A third worker's gloved hand is visible in the upper right, handling a rope or cable.
    A large, dark-painted metal naval vessel superstructure section is being lifted by crane chains and lowered onto a flatbed semi-trailer truck. Multiple workers wearing yellow hard hats are guiding and supervising the rigging operation in what appears to be a shipyard or industrial facility. The structure shows signs of age and wear, with multiple rectangular port openings and damaged sections visible.
    A large black metal structure, consistent with a submarine sail (conning tower), is being lifted by crane over a flatbed trailer at what appears to be a naval shipyard. A worker wearing a yellow hard hat, safety glasses, and an orange hoodie stands in the truck bed looking upward at the suspended structure. The industrial setting includes large warehouse buildings in the background, suggesting a major naval maintenance or decommissioning facility.
    Two workers in personal protective equipment are collaborating on a heavy chain rigging task alongside a large vessel hull at what appears to be a shipyard or dry dock facility. One worker wearing hard hat number '140' and a tan hoodie stands below, passing or receiving a shackle component, while a second worker in dark clothing and a yellow hard hat is positioned higher up on the vessel's hull handling the chain. A large blue industrial crane structure marked '80' dominates the background.
