# All Together! Enlist in the Navy

Six sailors in different uniforms stand arm in arm before a line of warships, with small flags of Allied nations along the bottom edge, above the line 'Enlist in the Navy'. The figures in mixed national dress and the word 'All Together' present enlistment as shared Allied action, and the flags tie the Navy's call to the wider coalition.
