    An aerial photograph shows a large aircraft carrier underway in open ocean, accompanied by a smaller escort vessel in the distance. A distinctive circular condensation or pressure wave phenomenon (likely a Prandtl-Glauert condensation cloud) is visible above the carrier's flight deck, suggesting a high-speed aircraft maneuver nearby. The scene is set under partly cloudy skies over deep blue open water.
