At 0800 hours on 24 September 2021 this was the scene at the bow onboard the Guided Missile Cruiser USS Vicksburg (CG-69) as the Star-Spangled Banner sounded at the Navy Yard. This ship had recently come out of dry dock and was now getting improvements to her superstructure and combat systems that will allow her to remain with the fleet for many years to come. The flag being raised here is the Naval Jack, which is the canton (upper hoist corner) of the U.S. Ensign. While the ship is anchored or moored, the jack is flown at the bow and the ensign is flown at the stern. Once underway, the jack is stowed and the ensign is flown from the main mast.
