Description
From Wikipedia:
USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer in the United States Navy. She is the fifth ship to carry that name, and the 46th destroyer of a planned 75-ship class. Bainbridge is named in honor of Commodore William Bainbridge, who as commander of the frigate USS Constitution distinguished himself in the War of 1812 when he and his crew captured HMS Java, a 38-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy.
Since her commissioning in 2005, Bainbridge has been active in the Mediterranean Sea, but most of the attention she has garnered has been as a result of the failed hijacking attempt of the U.S.-flagged freighter MV Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates in April, 2009, which ended with the release of the vessel's Master, Captain Richard Phillips, on 12 April 2009. After crewmen of the captured cargo vessel managed to retake the ship, the pirates retreated, taking the ship's Master hostage in a lifeboat. Bainbridge, Halyburton, and Boxer shadowed the pirates, and with FBI assistance attempted negotiations for the safe return of the captive captain until U.S. Navy SEAL snipers resolved the situation with deadly force. The story of this incident was turned into the 2013 motion picture titled Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks.
"Eternal Father Strong to Save" is referred to as The Navy Hymn but has been adopted by many armed services having to do with seafaring.
This is a hand-painted digital oil/impasto derivative work based primarily on an image in the public domain featuring the actual ship, the USS Bainbridge and the American flag flying on the gunboat in front of it. Painted on a Wacom tablet using a variety of painting programs and filters. While my adaptations and interpretations are copyright protected, the underlying artwork remains in the public domain available to other artists to reproduce or interpret.

Thank you everyone for your generous and lovely comments. I hope I've visited most of you personally to thank you but beginning next week I will be away from the computer for several weeks undergoing surgery and rehab.

Beautiful artwork, as usual! I love the flag in the foreground giving such a sense of depth. This reminds me of the World War II era for some reason - maybe it is the subject matter. I enjoyed the fascinating story in your description, too! Some Navy veteran would love this on their wall! L/F
