Flattops may be the Swiss Army Knives of the fleet.
Two clips uploaded to the Navy’s YouTube channel show how the ships can be used. Via time-lapse video, one clip shows the bulk of the preparations for the Quicken Loans Carrier Classic on the carrier Carl Vinson. Pretty nifty stuff.

There’s no mention about when the footage was shot, but by the time it hit the web, the ship was in the Arabian Sea.
