    Two F-35B Lightning II stealth fighter jets are visible on what appears to be the flight deck of an amphibious assault ship or aircraft carrier. One aircraft is taxiing or parked on the deck with landing gear deployed, while a second aircraft is on final approach for a vertical or short landing (STOVL). The setting appears to be at sea under partly cloudy skies.
