BIG anchorsā¦.
NORFOLK NAVAL SHIPYARD, VIRGINIA (October 22, 2020) --Ā Master-at-ArmsĀ (law enforcement) 1st Class Brian Dunne, USN (left) is reenlisted for a few more years of Naval service by LTJG Asa Calloway, USN, on the starboard anchor of United States Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).
Operational conditions permitting, Sailors are allowed to pick theirĀ āspotā for traditional reenlistment ceremonies. Normally, the location maintains a special meaning or significance for the Sailor extending his or her contract with the Navy.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā This is how they got out to the perch on the anchor.
That anchor looks a bit beaten-up right now only because the aircraft carrier is in the shipyard for an extensive maintenance period between overseas deployments. That anchor will be gleaming again soon....
