OpposeGood EV, but the photo needs restoration before it meets the FP criteria. The composition is also not great, but that's true of most of the photos of this ceremony. Nick-D ( talk) 23:21, 29 August 2020 (UTC)- I guess I'll get it. Way easier than my
current project.

- Support restored version, oppose original ( t · c) buidhe 17:52, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Support alt 1. MER-C 18:39, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Support alt 1. Strong EV and a competently executed photo. As noted above, there don't seem to be any good photos of this historic ceremony, possibly due to the location where it took place (the deck of an operational battleship cramped with large numbers of VIPs and sailors).
