Projecting Power.
(U.S. Navy photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Austin Clayton)
The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) travels in the Pacific Ocean during a training event off the coast of Southern California on April 30, 2017.
One of the main functions is to project U.S. power into remote areas of the world, a mission flattops have been performing since the 1940s.
Parked on the flight deck are the Roosevelt’s main offensive weapon, the F/A-18C Hornet jet fighter. You can also see the shadow of the helicopter used to take this photo.
