    A military ceremony is taking place aboard or in front of the USS Pasadena, a U.S. Navy vessel. Two naval officers in white dress uniforms are shaking hands while one presents a certificate or award to the other, with a third officer standing at attention in the background. The setting appears to be a naval pier or shipyard with large vessels visible in the background.
    Four U.S. Navy personnel in white dress uniforms are posing aboard or in front of the USS Pasadena, holding a framed shadow box presentation. The framed display appears to be a commemorative gift for CAPT Sterling Jordan, Commodore of COMSUBRON SIX (Submarine Squadron Six), covering the period August 2020 to August 2026. A large gray naval vessel is visible in the background at what appears to be a naval base pier.
    A U.S. Navy ceremonial event taking place on a pier or dock, likely a change of command or arrival/departure ceremony. Multiple sailors in white dress uniforms are forming a sideboy honor guard, rendering salutes along a red carpet. A senior officer wearing medals and a young civilian girl are walking through the ceremonial corridor.
    A U.S. Navy officer in dress white uniform with gold-braided cap cover and multiple service ribbons is being saluted by enlisted sailors on what appears to be a ship's deck or pier. The setting suggests a formal military ceremony, likely a change of command, commissioning, or departure/arrival event. Naval vessels and a waterfront facility are visible in the background.
