Gray ships on a gray canvas and the first time that I have seen a Naval warship under tow. The ship in tow is number 53.
This is the USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser under tow by the salvage vessel USNS Grasp (T-ARS 51).

The Mobile Bay was decommissioned on August 10th in San Diego and is being bought to the Navy’s Inactive Ships facility in Bremerton, Washington where they will be in a Logistic Support Asset (LSA) status. (See article from Fleet Command)
Updated 8-31-2023 Thanks to John Slomnicki and Earl Thompson for the updated identification.
