A steel beach picnic aboard the USS Antietam (CG 54) in 2003.
A steel beach picnic is a tradition in the United States Navy. Such events are often department-sponsored barbecues held on the deck of the ship, hence the name "steel beach". They are often held on the flight deck or in a large hangar bay for carriers, much like a day at the beach with volleyball and other sporting events.
