A couple videos showing the ships assembled. Not a tactical formation , but still looks good
From USNAnother view This video has some closer shots. Neither has sound or soundtrack which seems a bit off in the 21st Century, but eh

It's an impressive formation. It would be even more so if many of the attendees were in it for reasons beyond being ready for the United States to defend them.

The Aussies and Japan aren't exactly the Hungarian Navy, and if stuff gets real, they won't be waiting on permission from mommy. Especially the Japanese these days. Between having that fuckstain Kim Dong Small lobbing missiles at them, and the Chinese jonesing to even up for the 30s and 40s, they pretty much have been forced to adopt a more old-school posture for their forces
Always jarring though, seeing the naval ensign. Which is the same one that was flying over Kido Butai
