Well he has a cap and is next to a boat

“And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again.”

Black and white photo of a white man in white sailor's cap lying down on his stomach on a lawn, propped up on his elbows and looking down at three tabby and white kittens sheltered in his arms. A fourth kitten that is a black or grey tuxedo stands on his left shoulder.

“A sailor attached to utility squadron VJ-4 plays with kittens that were discovered in an equipment room at U.S. Naval Air Station Squantum in Massachusetts, 1942.” Original source is the National Archives but I found this in the book Cats in the Navy. Source.
