Above, at the Norfolk Naval Base, crew members of the third ship to
carry the Arctic name watch Saturday's commissioning ceremony for
the fifth Arctic, a combat support ship. These crewmen served during
World War II, as their Arctic, a stores ship, saw extensive action
in the South Pacific. Left, crew members run aboard the new Arctic,
which will join the Atlantic Fleet. The new Arctic has a crew of 27
officers and 534 enlisted personnel, with an annual salary of $18.6
million.
