    The image shows military personnel and civilians examining a large detailed scale model of a naval warship, partially labeled '...APOLIS' (likely USS Indianapolis). The setting appears to be an indoor public space or government building lobby, with an escalator visible in the background. Two naval officers in white dress uniforms and a man in a dark polo shirt with a veteran's cap appear to be discussing the model.

    RADM Rick Williamson, Commander Navy Region Midwest, visits with volunteers of the USS Indianapolis CA-35 which on July 30, 1945, was sunk after delivering the first operational atomic bomb to the island of Tinnian. Of the 1,196 men aboard only 317 were pulled from the water alive after the sinking. Williamson later announced that the next commissioned Littoral Combat Ship will be named the USS Indianapolis in their honor. (U.S. Navy photo by MC1 Burt Eichen/Released)
