    An aerial photograph shows two large aircraft carriers sailing in parallel formation across open ocean. Both vessels appear to be Nimitz-class or Gerald R. Ford-class US Navy supercarriers, identifiable by their flat flight decks and island superstructures. The image is taken from altitude, likely from a third aircraft, under hazy atmospheric conditions with sunlight reflecting off the water to the right.

    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.
