The superstructure of the future USS Basilone and a crane are seen on Saturday, June 18, at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine.  The christening of a Navy destroyer on Saturday highlighted the sacrifices of two generations — the ship’s namesake killed in World War II and another Marine who died more than 60 years later. The future USS Basilone bears the name of a Marine who was awarded the Medal of Honor before his death on Iwo Jima. (AP Photo/David Sharp)
