    Vice Adm. Doug G. Perry, commander of U.S. 2nd Fleet, speaks with Lt. Cmdr. Luis Martinez, Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) aircraft handler, while visiting the ship during a multilateral maritime exercise in the Atlantic Ocean, June 25, 2026. Nimitz is underway taking part in Fleet Exercise (FLEETEX) 250, a series of structured multilateral training events at-sea, aimed at building cohesiveness, validating tactical procedures, and strengthening the interoperability of participating units—which include warships, aircraft, and crews from the U.S. and 13 partner and allied nations.

    A twin-engine propeller aircraft is photographed in flight against an overcast gray sky. The image is taken from a low angle, likely from a ship or maritime vessel, with blurred foreground elements including what appears to be a searchlight or signal lamp and rigging wires. The aircraft appears to be a military or patrol-type twin-prop plane viewed from below and behind.
    A U.S. Navy Grumman C-2 Greyhound carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft, marked with the number 52, is approaching for landing on an aircraft carrier flight deck over open ocean. The aircraft's landing gear is fully deployed and both turboprop engines are running, indicating an active carrier landing approach. Personnel in colored flight deck jerseys are visible on the port side of the flight deck.
    An aerial view of a naval aircraft carrier flight deck showing a pilot or officer in olive/green flight suit and helmet standing at center, surrounded by flight deck crew in color-coded jerseys. The personnel are arranged in a symmetrical formation, all appearing to shield their eyes or salute in a coordinated gesture. The color-coded jerseys indicate different crew roles as per standard U.S. Navy carrier air wing protocol.
    A senior military officer in olive flight suit with two-star general/admiral rank insignia and squadron patches is conversing with several enlisted personnel in navy blue coveralls in front of a large jet engine. The setting appears to be a military hangar or maintenance facility, suggesting an inspection or informal visit. The interaction appears relaxed and conversational.
    The image shows the hangar bay of USS Nimitz (CVN-68), a US Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Two personnel are conversing in the foreground — one in an olive/green flight suit and one in a yellow jersey — while silhouetted crew members work near the open hangar bay door with the ocean visible beyond. A large mural on the bulkhead displays the ship's name, hull number, aircraft silhouettes, and motto 'Teamwork, A Tradition'.
    Two individuals are engaged in conversation inside what appears to be a military aircraft or vessel command/operations area. One person is wearing a military flight suit with patches and a name tag reading 'DOUG PERRY', while the other is in civilian clothing with 'ANDLER' visible on their purple shirt. They are standing at a table/console with a world map visible in the background along with monitoring screens.
    Two men are fist-bumping across a table inside what appears to be a naval vessel's flight deck control room or handler's station. One man wears a purple long-sleeve shirt labeled 'HANDLER', while the other wears an olive green military flight suit with two-star rank insignia and a U.S. flag patch. A map of the Americas and various operational displays are visible in the background.
    The image shows U.S. Navy personnel aboard what appears to be a naval vessel's bridge or command area. A senior officer identified by his name tape as 'Doug Perry' wearing a U.S. Second Fleet patch is smiling and conversing with a female sailor wearing a USS ship's ball cap. Several other naval personnel in flight suits and caps are visible in the background.
    The image shows U.S. Navy personnel aboard what appears to be the USS Nimitz (CVN-68), a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. A senior officer in a flight suit, identified by his name tape as 'Doug Perry' with two-star rank insignia, is interacting with enlisted crew members in what appears to be an engineering or control room. The setting includes complex naval equipment, control panels, and an 'Engineering Operational Sequencing System' binder visible on the wall.
    The image shows the flight deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier with an aircraft in the process of launching via catapult. Multiple crew members in color-coded jerseys are visible on deck, along with parked F/A-18 fighter jets on the port side. A second naval vessel is visible on the horizon in the background.
    A twin-turboprop carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft, consistent with a C-2 Greyhound, is launching from the catapult of a US Navy aircraft carrier at sea. Steam from the catapult system is visible along the deck centerline, and numerous flight deck personnel in color-coded jerseys are positioned around the launch area. The carrier is underway in open ocean under partly cloudy skies.
    A fixed-wing aircraft, appearing to be a C-2 Greyhound carrier onboard delivery (COD) aircraft, has just been launched from the catapult of a US Navy aircraft carrier. Steam from the catapult system is still visible on the flight deck, and deck crew in colored jerseys are present. Several F/A-18 fighter jets are parked on the port side of the flight deck.
    A twin-turboprop aircraft, consistent with a C-2A Greyhound COD (Carrier Onboard Delivery) aircraft, has just been launched from a US Navy aircraft carrier flight deck via steam catapult. The aircraft is airborne and banking away over the open ocean immediately after launch, while steam from the catapult track is still visible on the deck. Multiple flight deck crew members in color-coded jerseys are visible at their stations.
    Two U.S. Navy officers in flight suits stand on the deck of an aircraft carrier, looking out toward the ocean. The officer on the left has a name tag reading 'DOUG PERRY' and wears a United States Navy patch. The officer on the right wears glasses, displays a one-star rank insignia (Rear Admiral Lower Half), an American flag patch, and aviator wings.
