The Zumwalt-class destroyer is a class of large guided-missile destroyers of the United States Navy. First commissioned in 2016, the ships have a distinctive appearance, with an inward-sloping tumblehome hull designed to reduce their radar cross section. The Zumwalt class uses an integrated electric propulsion system that can distribute electricity from turbo-generators to drive motors or other ship systems and weapons. With a research-and-development cost of $9.6 billion, the ships were designed to require a smaller crew and to be less expensive to operate than comparable warships. The program was originally planned to include thirty-two ships, but cost overruns led to successive reductions and only three vessels were ultimately built. This photograph shows the lead ship of the class, USS Zumwalt, transiting the Atlantic Ocean in 2016 during acceptance trials with United States Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey.

Burst of Joy is a photograph taken on March 17, 1973, by Associated Press photographer Slava "Sal" Veder. It shows Robert L. Stirm (1933–2025), a lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force, meeting his family after five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Photographed at Travis Air Force Base in California, Burst of Joy captures the moment when Stirm's daughter runs toward him with her arms outstretched, followed by other family members, as he returns home after the repatriation of American prisoners following the Paris Peace Accords. The image was widely published in newspapers and magazines and became one of the most recognizable photographs of the war's human aftermath, winning the 1974 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
