    A U.S. Navy jet aircraft, marked with bureau number 401 and tail code 'AC', is captured during a night catapult launch from an aircraft carrier flight deck. The image shows significant motion blur and intense orange lighting from deck lighting, with engine exhaust visible on the left side of the frame. The aircraft appears to be an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet based on its visible silhouette and markings.
