    An F-35B Lightning II fighter jet is performing a short takeoff or vertical landing (STOVL) maneuver on what appears to be the flight deck of a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship. The aircraft is generating significant exhaust/steam clouds from its lift fan and vectored thrust nozzle. A second F-35B is visible on the left edge of the frame.
