Photographed from her own bridge, USS Saint Paul (CA-73) is shown with her crew manning the rail and her band assembled at the bow, rendering honors as the cruiser enters or departs port. Manning the rail is one of the U.S. Navy's oldest ceremonial traditions, historically meant to demonstrate that a warship's guns are stowed in a gesture of peaceful intent. Saint Paul performed this ceremony often during her final years of service in the early 1970s, transiting between her San Diego home port and combat deployments off Vietnam. Project: 218675
