Which event commonly occurs at a ship's launching?

Explanation:
During a ship's launching, the defining moment is the christening—the naming ceremony where a sponsor names the vessel and a bottle of champagne is traditionally broken against the hull as she enters the water. This ritual gives the ship its official identity and signals its first voyage into the sea. Decommissioning is retiring a ship from service, commissioning is the formal act of placing the ship into active service after construction, and salvage operations are recovery efforts for damaged vessels or cargo—none of which are the launching ceremony.
