#station-keeping

A force of nations....

PHILIPPINE SEA (July 19, 2020) -- United States Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), her cruiser and destroyer escorts, and units from the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JSMDF) and Australian Defense Force (ADF) participate in trilateral exercises on the surface and in the air.

(Note the visual near-symmetry of the warships’ station-keeping....also evidenced by the almost perfect right-angles formed by their intersecting wakes.)
