    USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78)           

    The Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and the Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour (CVH 550) transit the Atlantic Ocean March 20, 2021, marking the first time a Ford-class and Italian carrier have operated together underway. As part of the Italian Navy’s Ready for Operations (RFO) campaign for its flagship, Cavour is conducting sea trials in coordination with the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office’s Patuxent River Integrated Test Force to obtain official certification to safely operate the F-35B. Gerald R. Ford is conducting integrated carrier strike group operations during independent steaming event 17 as part of her post-delivery test and trials phase of operations.

    An aerial photograph shows two large naval vessels underway on open ocean, both producing visible wake patterns. The ship on the right appears to be a large aircraft carrier with a clearly visible flat flight deck, while the vessel on the left appears to be a smaller warship, possibly an amphibious assault ship or destroyer. Both ships are traveling in roughly the same direction across calm, dark blue waters.
    An aerial top-down photograph shows two naval vessels underway on open ocean. The larger vessel on the right is clearly an aircraft carrier, identifiable by its wide flat flight deck, while the smaller vessel on the left appears to be a surface combatant such as a cruiser or destroyer. Both ships are generating visible bow waves and wakes, indicating they are traveling at speed in the same general direction.
    An aerial photograph shows two large naval vessels underway in open ocean under partly cloudy skies. The ship on the left is moving at higher speed, evidenced by a prominent white wake trail, while the ship on the right appears to be moving more slowly or holding position. Both vessels appear to be aircraft carriers or large warships based on their flat-deck silhouettes.
    An aerial photograph taken at sunset or sunrise showing two naval vessels underway on open ocean. The foreground features a large aircraft carrier with a flat flight deck clearly visible, while a second smaller warship is visible in the middle distance. The sun is low on the horizon, casting a golden reflection across the calm sea surface.
    A large U.S. Navy aircraft carrier is underway at sea, flying the American flag from its island superstructure. The flight deck appears clear of aircraft, and a second naval vessel is visible in the background on the horizon. The image was taken from an elevated angle, likely from another aircraft or vessel, under overcast lighting conditions.
    The image shows two naval vessels sailing in close proximity on open ocean waters. The foreground vessel is a large US Navy aircraft carrier bearing the hull number '78', while the background vessel bears hull number '550' and flies what appears to be an Italian naval ensign. Both ships appear to be conducting a joint naval exercise or formation sailing.

The foreground vessel is a modern supercarrier with a large flat flight deck, visible island superstructure, and an American flag flying from the mast. A second carrier is visible in the background at a significant distance, appearing smaller due to perspective.
