Here’s Blue Point native Roy Chopping doing his hometown proud aboard the USS Nimitz in the Pacific Ocean.

This U.S. Navy photo shows Chopping, an aviation boatswain’s mate (handling) airman, connecting a fire hose to a fire plug during a general quarters drill aboard the aircraft carrier.

Chopping is pictured on the right; Michael Parrado, an aviation boatswain’s mate (fuel) airman from Orlando, Fla., is on the left. The U.S. Navy released the photo this week.

The USS Nimitz is currently underway conducting routine operations, the Navy reports.
