Retired Navy Chaplain Cmdr. Keith Schuley, a contracted Catholic Priest at Naval Base San Diego (NBSD), baptizes the child of Lt. j.g. Trever Watson, assigned to USS Boxer (LHD 4), and a native of Springfield, Oregon during a ceremony held on Boxer’s flight deck while moored at NBSD, May 5, 2025. A naval tradition, the ship’s bell is removed from the headstock and placed in a stand upside down for the baptism. After the ceremony, the child’s name is engraved inside the bell. Boxer is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship currently homeported at NBSD. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Roland Ardon
