These photographs depict a rare occasion when three aircraft carrier groups are in the same hemisphere long enough for a photo op.

And then a surprise!

Don't miss the last few photos!

The F/A-37 fighter jet shown there is a prop from the 2005 movie "Stealth".

Great photos. However they have been out for some time. And yes, the "New fighter" is just a prop from a movie. It isn't real and I'm sure will never get off of the ground. Oops, I mean carrier.

Reminds me of the WW II photo titled "Murderers Row" of the 5 fleet carriers of the 3rd Fleet anchored at Ulithi Atoll Dec 8 1945 during a break from operations around the Philippines.

The first few photos of the "Top Secret" plane is a wooden mock up for a movie set. If you look close at the pilot, she is a movie star.
No such plane exists...at least not yet!

The movie came out in 2005. It didn't get good reviews.

You beat me to it!!! It's got great cool factor, maybe they will build something like it one day. I did see an RC version of one a while back.
