    An aerial photograph shows two large aircraft carriers sailing in formation across open blue ocean waters. Both vessels appear to be US Navy supercarriers, identifiable by their angled flight decks, island superstructures, and aircraft parked on deck. The ships are traveling in the same general direction with significant separation between them.

    The Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) transit the Atlantic Ocean June 4, 2020, marking the first time a Ford-class and a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier operated together underway. Ford is underway conducting integrated air wing operations, and the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group remains at sea in the Atlantic as a certified carrier strike group force ready for tasking in order to protect the crew from the risks posed by COVID-19, following their successful deployment to the U.S. 5th and 6th Fleet areas of operation.
