Awesome photo. My first thought is I want to see the B-2 land on the carrier deck. Can you imagine the pilots' faces when they get that order?! :-) :-)

Actually, it's a real picture. According to the http://www.news.navy.mil/ website, the top photo was taken by U.S. Navy photo by Chief Photographer's Mate Todd P. Cichonowicz

Here's another view (not sure if it's the same photographer)...

Hi Martin

I know mate - I was pulling your leg! Lucky they didn't try to do that with the RN, would have needed a wider angle lens to get everyone in - I don't think...

In all seriousness, they are very impressive pics. Incredible that the Aegis cruisers actually look quite small in that company!
