UK - Cowes - US Navy Lieutenant Junior Grade and warship rope

A junior officer speaks into a walkie-talkie to communicate instructions to an unknown member of the ship's company. With a coil of naval line (rope) to his side, the man is dressed in full naval working white uniform and a combination cap. The insignia on his shoulder rates him as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. We are on-board the USS Winston Churchill designated DDG-81, one of the Navy's stealth warships that was on exercise in British waters in 2001. The Churchill is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy. She is the 31st destroyer of a planned 62-ship class. The Churchill is named after the British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Her home port is in NS Norfolk, Virginia.
