Interesting that the captions says “The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt pulls alongside the Military Sealift Command fleet replenishment oiler...”

So the bigger carrier maneuvers to the smaller oiler?

"So the bigger carrier maneuvers to the smaller oiler"...I was told the rule is the larger has 'way' because the larger is less maneuverable. But in 'unreps' the truth is both are struggling to avoid the other.
