Carved Stone Memorial Gate with Guardian Lions - Asian Port of Call, Vietnam War-Era U.S. Navy Deployment
Two carved stone guardian lions flank the opening of a traditional Chinese memorial gateway in this photograph from a USS Ticonderoga collection dating to the Vietnam War era. Likely taken during a liberty port call at an Asian port such as Hong Kong or Taiwan, the image captures a moment of cultural sightseeing amid the demands of a Western Pacific carrier deployment.
