Summary

[edit]
Description
English: SASEBO, Japan (Nov. 28, 2016) Chief Petty Officer Justin Beckett holds a chisel as Lt. j.g. Brian Caplan hammers a letter of his son’s name into the bell of the amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20) during a baptism held in the ship’s hangar bay. Caplan’s son, Theo, was the first newborn to have his name engraved inside Green Bay’s bell. Conducting baptisms and engraving a child’s name into the ship’s bell is a Navy tradition that dates back several hundred years to its origins in the British Royal Navy. Green Bay, forward-deployed to Sasebo, Japan, is serving forward to provide a rapid-response capability in the event of a regional contingency or natural disaster.
