Friends and family members take photos on the bow of the amphibious command ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) as the ship gets underway for a one-day tiger cruise from Gaeta, Italy. Mount Whitney, home-ported in Gaeta, Italy, is the U.S. 6th Fleet flagship and operates with a combined crew of U.S. sailors and MSC civil service mariners.
