Dress Ship

When ship's want to show their celebration, the signalmen will dress the ship in all the color they can. This is the USS Dubuque dressed to celebrate in 2001. Many ships world wide continue this tradition, and can usually be seen on holidays and in parades, showing their colors. The national ensign (flag) catches just the right breeze to unfurl its own colors.
