    A carrier-based jet aircraft, likely an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is launching from the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier via catapult, with visible steam from the catapult system. In the background, two naval vessels are sailing in formation on open blue water — one appearing to be a US Navy cruiser or destroyer flying the American flag, and the other a foreign warship bearing the number '916' and flying what appears to be an Egyptian flag. The scene suggests a multinational naval exercise or joint operation.

    210629-N-MD713-1185 RED SEA (June 29, 2021) - An F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet, attached to the "Rampagers" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 83, lands on the flight deck of aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) as the ship conducts a passing exercise with Egyptian Navy guided-missile frigate ENS Taba (FFG 916), center, and guided-missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf (CG 72) in the Red Sea, June 29. The Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points.
