Dear Diaper Heads...
I know it's tough for you guys to wrap your 7th century brains about what this pics mean. Well let me make it simple for you, 500 lbs of HE right up your asshole.
I need to scan in the photo of the '20 some odd years', cause I was on that one on the USS Coral Sea CV-43. It was the largest at the time since WWII.
For the first time in over 20 some odd years, three carrier strike groups got together in formation for a great photo op.
From left to right are the aircraft carriers, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, KITTY HAWK, and RONALD REAGAN. We even had Air Force planes fly-over, see the B-2 Stealth Bomber in the fourth picture down.

USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) (foreground), USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) (middle), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and their associated carrier strike groups steam in formation while 17 aircraft from the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps fly over them during a joint photo exercise (PHOTOEX) while preparing for exercise Valiant Shield 2006. The Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group is currently participating in Valiant Shield 2006, the largest joint exercise in recent history. Held in the Guam operating area June 19-23, the exercise includes 28 Naval vessels including three carrier strike groups. Nearly 300 aircraft and approximately 22,000 service members from the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are also participating in the exercise. Official U.S. Navy photo by Chief
