I think the second and the fourth pictures are identical (even if the ships were identical, the waves around them probably wouldn't :)
just saying ...

Now that Gentlemen is the one and only POPEYE! the sailor man, honest to a fault, and as FAITHFUL to his friends as an old Sea Dog!

His integrity is showing when he specifies "SURFACE" ship, and that gents is what has kept the Sino-Defense Forum the pride of the PACIFIC FLEET!

Its so awesome BD, to have you and Master Jeff HEAD! back on the bridge of the Sino Defense Forum! Master Jura, Master Deino, Master Forbin, Navy RECO, Master Asif, and time escapes me to name our other most honorable "Ship Mates",

"Steady as she goes Gentlemen! maintain HEADING, and increase to FLANK!

Take a look at this and realize what this represents. Three full Carrier strike Groups operating together. A potential for almost 300 aircraft right there, though in 2006 each carrier probably had on the order of 70 aircraft, or just over 200 altogether. Still....something any naval enthusiast would find very interesting.

Philippine Sea - USS Ronald Reagan, CVN-76 and USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 Carrier Strike groups, break away while the USS Kitty Hawk, CV-63 Carrier Strike group sails ahead following during Exercise Valiant Shield 2006. That regular exercise which focuses on integrated joint training among U.S. military forces, enabling real-world proficiency in sustaining joint forces and in detecting, locating, tracking and engaging units at sea, in the air, on land and cyberspace in response to a range of mission areas.

Some great pics of the exercise that the JMSDF conducted with the Ronald Regan CSG when she transferred to Japan. Many people did not know that all three Japanese xarriers exercised with the Reagan.

A very IMPRESSIVE exercise, and GREAT pictures of four flattops together:

JS Hyuga, DDH-181, USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76, JS Izumo, DDH-183, and JS Ise, DDH-182,
