    A large U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship bearing the hull number '6' is underway on open ocean under overcast, partly cloudy skies. The vessel appears to be an America-class or Wasp-class amphibious assault ship with a flat flight deck, island superstructure, and multiple aircraft visible on deck and in flight. The ship is sailing in moderate sea conditions with visible wake.

    An F-35B Lightning II assigned to the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) lands on the flight deck o the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS America (LHA 6). America, lead ship of the America Amphibious Ready Group, along with the 31st MEU, is operating in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility to enhance interoperability with allies and partners and serve as a ready response force to defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

    A military jet aircraft, appearing to be an F-35B, is launching from the deck of an amphibious assault ship at sea. Steam or exhaust vapor is visible beneath and around the aircraft during the short takeoff roll. A flight deck crew member in a yellow jersey is visible on the right side of the deck in a crouched signaling posture.
    Personnel aboard what appears to be USS America (LHA-6), a US Navy amphibious assault ship, observe an F-35B Lightning II aircraft performing a short takeoff or vertical landing approach on the flight deck. The scene is captured from an elevated observation platform or island superstructure, with crew members wearing hearing protection and flight deck gear. Overcast skies and open ocean are visible in the background.
    A fifth-generation stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35B, is performing a short takeoff from what appears to be an amphibious assault ship's flight deck, evidenced by the ski-jump ramp at the bow. Significant exhaust wash and steam/vapor are visible beneath and around the aircraft as it clears the deck edge. Several flight deck personnel in colored jerseys are visible on the deck, and a second aircraft is faintly visible on the horizon.
    A stealth fighter jet, consistent with an F-35B variant, is positioned on the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship at sea. The deck markings, including a large number '6' and yellow centerline striping, are clearly visible. Overcast and stormy weather conditions dominate the background over open ocean.
    A military jet aircraft, identifiable as an F-35B, is captured in a short takeoff or vertical landing maneuver above the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship. The aircraft's landing gear is deployed and exhaust/steam is visible beneath it, consistent with the F-35B's lift fan and vectored thrust system. The scene takes place at sea under overcast, stormy-looking skies.
    An F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is captured in a short takeoff or vertical landing (STOVL) approach over the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship at sea. The aircraft's landing gear is fully deployed and it is hovering at low altitude above the deck markings. The overcast sky and choppy ocean waters are visible in the background.
    An F-35B stealth fighter jet is captured mid-takeoff or during a short takeoff roll on the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship at sea. Steam or exhaust vapor is visible beneath and around the aircraft, consistent with a short takeoff procedure. Deck crew and support vehicles are visible on the flight deck.
    An F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jet is performing a short takeoff or vertical landing (STOVL) maneuver from the deck of an amphibious assault ship at sea. The aircraft's lift fan and thrust vectoring nozzle are visibly active, generating significant downwash that disturbs the water surface below. The scene takes place under overcast, dramatic cloud cover over open ocean.
    An amphibious assault ship bearing hull number '6' and designation 'LHA-6' is underway on open ocean under overcast skies. At least one F-35B stealth fighter jet is visible in flight near the vessel, with another aircraft parked on the flight deck. The ship appears to be conducting flight operations in what appears to be a training or operational exercise.
