    The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) transits the Gulf of Alaska, May 7, 2021, in support of flight operations above the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex and Gulf of Alaska during Exercise Northern Edge 2021 (NE21). Navy, Air Force and Marine aircraft executed flight missions during NE21 demonstrating seamless, joint combat capabilities. Approximately 15,000 U.S. service members are participating in a joint training exercise hosted by U.S. Pacific Air Forces May 3-14, 2021, on and above the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex, the Gulf of Alaska, and temporary maritime activities area. NE21 is one in a series of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command exercises designed to sharpen the joint forces' skills; to practice tactics, techniques, and procedures; to improve command, control, and communication relationships; and to develop cooperative plans and programs.

    A U.S. Navy carrier-based jet aircraft (numbered 503) is positioned on an aircraft carrier flight deck, surrounded by steam from a catapult system. Deck crew members in yellow and green jerseys are crouching near the aircraft in preparation for or during a launch sequence. The fuselage bears markings including 'CAT 4 NO GO,' a pilot name 'LT STEPHEN PATRICCO,' and the name 'IRENE,' along with a U.S. military star insignia.
    A naval ordnance technician wearing a red vest and red helmet is inspecting or working on an air-to-air missile mounted on an aircraft wing. The individual appears to be on the flight deck or wing surface of a military aircraft, likely a carrier-based jet. The missile visible has a serial number partially readable as 'PS0605N' and appears to be a short-range infrared-guided missile.
    Navy ordnancemen wearing red vests and safety gear are loading what appears to be an AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile onto a military aircraft, likely on an aircraft carrier flight deck. The missile is identifiable by its distinctive yellow nose cone and seeker head. Personnel are wearing standard carrier deck crew safety equipment including colored vests and helmets.
    A U.S. Navy twin-seat jet aircraft, marked with the number '104', is captured in the moment of takeoff or landing on an aircraft carrier deck. The aircraft is fully loaded with external stores including fuel tanks and munitions, with landing gear fully extended. Snow-capped mountains and a body of water are visible in the background, suggesting a cold-weather operational environment.
    A U.S. Navy 'Shooter' — a catapult officer — kneels on an aircraft carrier flight deck and gives the launch signal as a jet aircraft accelerates down the catapult track. The officer wears a distinctive yellow vest labeled 'SHOOTER' with crossed-pistols insignia, a green and orange flight deck helmet, and holds a radio. The aircraft is captured in motion blur, indicating high speed at the moment of launch.
    Two naval flight deck crew members crouch on an aircraft carrier flight deck as a jet aircraft launches at high speed via catapult. The motion blur of the aircraft contrasts with the sharp foreground figures, capturing the intensity of a carrier launch operation. Visible text on crew gear identifies roles and unit affiliations.
    A U.S. Navy 'Shooter' (catapult officer) crouches in a launch stance on an aircraft carrier flight deck as an F/A-18 Super Hornet (bureau number 212) is catapulted for takeoff. Steam from the catapult system is visible beneath the aircraft's landing gear. The scene captures the high-intensity environment of carrier flight operations.
    Three personnel in red flight deck safety gear are positioned on what appears to be a naval aircraft carrier flight deck vehicle or equipment station. They are wearing red helmets, ear protection, goggles, and red vests consistent with ordnance or crash and salvage crew roles on a carrier deck. The ocean and a distant coastline or landmass are visible in the background under an overcast sky.
    A military personnel member wearing a face mask is looking through a large mounted optical instrument, likely binoculars or a bearing circle, aboard a naval vessel. An American flag flies prominently in the background, with snow-capped mountains and overcast skies visible in the distance. The setting appears to be in a cold, northern maritime environment.
    A large US Navy aircraft carrier flight deck is shown packed with multiple F/A-18 Hornet/Super Hornet jet aircraft and at least one helicopter, viewed from an elevated aft position. The carrier appears to be operating in cold northern waters, with snow-capped mountains visible on the distant horizon. Personnel in colored jerseys are visible on the flight deck, indicating active flight deck operations or aircraft handling.
    Military helicopters are parked and secured on the flight deck of a naval vessel, likely an aircraft carrier or amphibious assault ship. The helicopters appear to be SH-60 Seahawk variants, secured with red tie-down straps and chocks. The vessel is operating in cold-weather waters with snow-capped mountains visible in the background.
    The image shows the island superstructure of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, identifiable by the large number '7' painted on its side and the yellow warning text 'BEWARE OF JET BLAST, PROPELLERS AND ROTORS.' A military helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk, is visible in flight to the left of the island. Snow-capped mountains are visible in the background, suggesting the carrier is operating in a northern or arctic region.
    The image shows a naval aircraft carrier flight deck with multiple military helicopters and deck crew personnel. One helicopter, appearing to be an MH-60 Seahawk, is airborne and hovering nearby while at least two others remain on deck. Deck crew in colored helmets and gear are visible managing flight operations amid rotor wash and mist.
    A group of military personnel are standing in formation on what appears to be an aircraft carrier flight deck, with snow-capped mountains visible in the background.

    An aerial or high-elevation photograph of a snow-covered mountain range with jagged rocky ridgelines and multiple peaks. A large body of deep blue water, likely an ocean or large lake, is visible in the background beyond the mountains. The image was taken during low-light conditions, likely at dusk or dawn, giving the scene a cool blue tone.
    Multiple U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets are parked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, with snow-capped mountains visible in the background across a body of water. The aircraft bear visible modex numbers including 205, 114, 200, and 115, and at least one displays 'NAVY' markings. The overcast sky and alpine terrain suggest a high-latitude location, consistent with the Gulf of Alaska or similar northern waters.
    Three crew members in protective gear are working on the flight deck of a naval vessel, handling a large hose or fuel line. They are wearing helmets with face shields and hearing protection, along with red and purple safety vests.

    A gray naval warship is underway on open ocean waters under overcast skies. Snow-capped mountains are visible along the distant horizon, suggesting a northern or arctic maritime environment. A second vessel appears faintly in the far background near the coastline.
    A naval warship, consistent with a U.S. Navy Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, is underway on calm open water. Snow-capped mountain ranges are visible in the background under an overcast sky, suggesting a high-latitude location such as Alaska or the Pacific Northwest. The ship is leaving a visible wake as it moves across the frame.
    A U.S. Navy guided-missile cruiser (Ticonderoga-class) is underway on calm gray waters with snow-capped mountains visible in the background. The vessel appears to be traveling at moderate speed, leaving a visible wake on the port side. The overcast sky and mountainous terrain suggest a high-latitude or Pacific Northwest/Alaskan coastal environment.
    The image shows the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier during overcast, wet weather conditions at sea. Multiple aircraft types are visible on deck, including fixed-wing jets, a turboprop aircraft, and helicopters, with numerous deck crew actively working. The carrier's island superstructure is prominently visible in the background with radar and communications equipment.
    A crew member wearing a red flight suit and aviation helmet with a sticker is seated inside a helicopter, looking out toward a mountainous landscape. The helicopter is flying over a vivid turquoise glacial lake surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The image appears to document an aerial search and rescue or reconnaissance operation in a remote alpine environment.
