<p>SASEBO, Japan (Nov. 28, 2016) Lt. j.g. Brian Caplan has his son baptized in the bell of the amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay (LPD 20). Caplan’s son, Theo, was the first newborn to be baptized inside Green Bay’s bell. Conducting baptisms is a Navy tradition that dates back several hundred years to its origins in the British Royal Navy. Green Bay, forward-deployed to Sasebo, Japan, is serving forward to provide a rapid-response capability in the event of a regional contingency or natural disaster.
