    The image shows two large aircraft carriers sailing in formation on open ocean under hazy, overcast conditions. Both vessels appear to be Nimitz-class or Gerald R. Ford-class U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers based on their distinctive hull shape, island superstructure, and flight deck configuration. The ships are traveling in parallel at moderate speed, visible by the bow waves they are generating.

    USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78)           

    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.
