    An aerial photograph showing two large US Navy aircraft carriers operating in close proximity on open ocean. Both flight decks are loaded with numerous fixed-wing aircraft, likely F/A-18 Hornets or Super Hornets, arranged in organized patterns. The carriers appear to be underway, as evidenced by visible wake patterns in the deep blue water.

    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.
