She is followed by the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) and the nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser USS Long Beach (CGN-9) with other screening vessels following astern of the cruiser.

Show of force....

Above: United States Navy aircraft carriers USS Nimitz (CVN 68), USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) (since retired...but being considered for reactivation), and USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74)....with their escorting carrier strike groups and supporting long-range aerial bombers and fighters, and two nuclear submarines (the bright white wakes up front)....exercise together in the Pacific Ocean (near Guam) in 2007.

                                            *          *          *          *

                                                     Sea of Japan

Fast forward 10 years to the Sea of Japan on upcoming American Veteran's Day weekend 2017 (November 10, 11, 12)....when the United States will operate three battle-ready aircraft carriers (all nuclear-powered) together again for the first time in ten years....

....with the USS Nimitz (CVN 68), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) and USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) carrier strike groups exercising their interoperability as a combined battle force....

....and sending a definitive show-of-force warning to nearby nuclear weapons-armed rogue-state North Korea.

Never before has so much military power been concentrated in one place....in sincere hopes for peace through strength!

>>Photos of the 2017 battle force will be posted in coming days....shortly after the three carrier strike groups merge in the Sea of Japan....
