    A U.S. Navy officer wearing a traditional Hawaiian lei and a command-grade white uniform cap is returning a salute while passing through a sideboy honors formation. The ceremony appears to be a change of command or departure ceremony, likely held at a naval installation in Hawaii based on the lei and outdoor tent setting. Enlisted sailors in dress white uniforms line both sides, rendering honors.
