The scene the art director wrote
A massive cargo ship sails into a busy port, its cranes and containers silhouetted against a warm orange sunset, as people from different countries and industries gather on the dock, discussing and negotiating, with a backdrop of dry riverbeds and closed border crossings in the distance.
Inside the house scaffold (the fixed style + safety clauses), the full prompt the painter received
Sprawling painted editorial illustration for a newspaper front page: A massive cargo ship sails into a busy port, its cranes and containers silhouetted against a warm orange sunset, as people from different countries and industries gather on the dock, discussing and negotiating, with a backdrop of dry riverbeds and closed border crossings in the distance. Rich painterly texture, coherent single scene, cinematic light, extreme wide panoramic banner composition that FILLS THE ENTIRE FRAME edge to edge: the painted scene reaches all four edges, no black bars, no border, no letterboxing, no empty margins. Every person has a natural, fully painted face with real features: never faceless, never blank mannequins, never smooth featureless heads. All people are fictional and resemble no real public figure. Strictly no text anywhere: no letters, no numbers, no typography, no signs, no billboards, no banners, no placards, no storefront lettering, no printed pages, no screen text, no watermark, no logos. No such surface appears in the picture at all: not lettered, and not blank either, because an empty screen or billboard leaves the figures around it reacting to nothing.

Acting Navy secretary visits Hanwha Philly Shipyard to discuss naval construction
Hung Cao met with yard executives to talk about expanding U.S. domestic naval shipbuilding capacity.
By Ingrid Sorensen · 4wActing Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao visited Hanwha Philly Shipyard and met with its executives to discuss expanding U.S. domestic naval shipbuilding capacity.
The Philadelphia yard holds a commercial backlog through at least 2029 that includes three LNG-powered containerships for Matson, two LNG carriers for Hanwha Shipping, and four firm MR tanker orders with options for six more. The U.S. Navy will fund a contract through fiscal 2024 shipbuilding and conversion funds totaling $38.2M.
U.S. Senator Chris Coons of Delaware said that increasing Navy construction at the Philadelphia yard could help the United States respond to China's rapidly expanding shipbuilding capacity. The read here is that the visit and the senator's comment suggest the Navy is looking at a commercial yard with Jones Act-built vessels in its backlog as a potential source of naval hulls.
