Looks like a Crossfire, wheels, rear end, etc. Once again another one bites the dust.

A man went to the DMV to renew his license.
When he was told to go have his picture taken he noticed that there were some men having their picture taken, these men were wearing turbans on there heads.
Alex was asked to take his hat off to have his picture taken.
He said "no", and "no" again when asked the second time.
When he was asked why he would not remove his hat he said, 'Those men didn't remove their head wear, I shouldn't either.'
It was explained that this was their attire and their religion.

Alex told the DMV person that what he had on his head was his attire and when he entered the military he declared an oath to the USA, and one nation under God, so that his oath was under God so just as good as his religion.
Well, the DMV people didn't know what to do, they spoke to supervisors and called Sacramento .
Alex was told, after an hour, that he could wear his hat for the picture and if any problem would arise from it they would let him know and he could appeal their decision.
He told them if a problem does arise I WILL appeal it !!
Alex feels no one has more right to display their head gear then a Veteran or active service person.
When he left several employees at the DMV clapped quietly for him.
He has spoken to few other Veterans and they plan to do the same."

Sasha, my adopted granddaughter has been in the Navy almost four years. (My son retired as Chief after 23 years in the Navy in 2023.)
Anyway, Sasha managed to get on the John P Murtha for this photo last week, as she was in port when it came in. Don't be a dope like me and ask what the big deal is, look at what is behind her!

From Wiki:
On April 10, 2026, USS John P. Murtha served as the recovery vessel for the Orion spacecraftIntegrity and its crew during the Artemis II mission. Captain Erik Kenny served as the vessel's commanding officer during this mission. It carried MH-60S Seahawk helicopters from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 23.

It looks like she was part of the recovery team for the Artemis II

She wasn't, she was in port on her ship when this ship came in - and managed to get on board and get a picture or two with the capsule.
