    A U.S. Navy carrier-based jet fighter, consistent with an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is captured in a front-facing view with landing gear fully deployed, appearing to be on final approach for a carrier landing over open ocean. A second aircraft is visible in the distant background at higher altitude. The image was taken from the perspective of an aircraft carrier deck, looking outward over the sea.

The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points. With Abraham Lincoln as the flagship, deployed strike group assets include staffs, ships and aircraft of Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 12, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 2, the guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 7.
