Ceremonial Barge Chesapeake

The Ceremonial Barge Chesapeake, also known as the Chief of Naval Operations' Barge, is a 63-foot (19 m) motor yacht owned and crewed by the United States Navy and assigned to the United States Chief of Naval Operations for social entertaining. Chesapeake was acquired by the Navy from the Drug Enforcement Administration which seized it from narcotics traffickers. It carries a normal complement of five.

In 1992, the Chesapeake served as the venue for an informal meeting between George H.W. Bush, the President of the United States, and Boris Yeltsin, the President of Russia.
