That carrier picture is complete BS, it’s a once in a generation event cause by the convergence of:

USS Enterprise being retired

USS Theodore Roosevelt being brought back into service after midlife refueling

USS Abraham Lincoln, a Pacific Fleet carrier, being in Norfolk to begin midlife refueling.

Of the other two carriers, USS Bush just returned from a deployment while USS Eisenhower was just about to leave for one (she just left the other day).

But perception equals reality, right?

Reality is what one sees or physically feels. Perception is an interpretation or extention. I see five carriers, I perceive them to be in port at the same time, a rare event. Perhaps your explanation of what I see may be correct. Still, it is not B.S., are there or are there not five carriers in port at the same time and is that a rare event or not?
