I believe that hat's the ending of Operation Valiant shield, a US only Pacific exercise.

I ssee:

1 x CVN Ronald Reagan
1 x LHA USS America
1 x Ticonderoga AEGIS crusier
5 x Burke AEGIS DDGs
1 x San Antonio Class LPD
1 x Harper's Ferry class LSD
1 x Replenishment vessel

Probably one or two SSNs hanging around somewhere.
