Pacific Ocean (Aug. 2, 2004) -- A Sailor assigned to the amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4) pushes on the hull of the ship to straighten the Captain's Gig, as it is lowered into the water. This Gig is a diesel powered motorboat which provides ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship transportation for the ship's captain and his official guests. Boxer recently returned from the central command area of responsibility where they helped off-load personnel and equipment supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
