Picture of an Aurora,going through what we call the bird bath to remove residual salt, These aircraft ply coastal waters and salt is very corrosive.

The Aurora steadfastly refused to leave the showers, convinced its crew was embarrassed by its nakedness and seeming vulnerability to scorn

It is called a bird bath. It is used to wash off most corroding substances. Mostly for salt water vapor removal.
