    An aerial photograph shows two naval warships sailing in parallel formation across open ocean under partly cloudy skies. Both vessels are leaving distinct white wake trails that converge toward the horizon, suggesting they are traveling in the same direction at similar speeds. The image appears to document a naval exercise or coordinated patrol operation.

    USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20)

    The Blue-Ridge class command and control ship USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20) and German Navy Sachsen-class frigate FGS Hamburg (F 220) sail together in the Baltic Sea, June 22, 2026. Mount Whitney is on a scheduled deployment in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations to support the warfighting effectiveness, lethality and readiness of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, and defend U.S., Allied and partner interests in the region.
