Sailors Silhouetted Against the Sun on the Flight Deck of USS Ticonderoga, Vietnam War Era
Backlit by a low sun, U.S. Navy sailors pause along the flight deck railing of USS Ticonderoga during Vietnam War-era operations. One crewman, wearing a protective cranial helmet, appears to be observing or photographing activity on deck -- a quiet moment amid the routine of carrier flight operations in Southeast Asian waters.
