US Navy Review...10-12 years ago.
And these pictures actually show it as it happened back then.
I have seen as many as four CVNs together but cannot find the pics right now...and the six LHDs loaded up for sea control speaks for itself:
I'd love to see the US some time, purely for PR, bring six CVNs together with maybe eight Burke DDGs and four Tico CGs in formation togehter with four Virginia SSNs out front.
Can you imagine such a show?
I'll second that! I'd like to see another when the USN had SEVEN CVNs deployed at once..
Every sailor from seaman recruit to Fleet Admiral serving with the USN is trained in firefighting and Damage Control. Everyone....
Amen to that my friend.
The pictures from Summer Pulse, showing carriers deployed at various places around the world, siad something like this:
Here's one pic from the Atlantic with two US Navy CVNs and other nations flatops, including a US Navy LHD:

Here's another one with three US Carriers in the Philippine Sea, which included Reagan, Kitty Hawk, and Abraham Lincoln:
Having seven carrier deployed at once, particularly with large forces of our allies, demonstrates an awesome amount of power available at once.
So here we see Truman, Enterprise, Kitty Hawk, Reagan, and Lincoln when seven were deployed. Two m,ore were somewhere else at the same time.
Of course in 2004 we had 12 carriers commissioned. Since then, Kitty Hawk and enterprise have been pulled from service. Enterprise is decommissioned and being taken apart. Kitty Hawk is in the reserve fleet.
