The picture is of the five first line US nuclear carriers docked together in one place.
Just like Battleship Row, Pearl Harbor , December 7, 1941.
This picture was taken the February 2014 in Norfolk , Virginia. Obama ordered
5 nuclear carriers into harbor for “routine” (?) inspections. Heads of the Navy were flabbergasted by the directive but had to comply as it was a direct
order from their Commander-in-Chief.
The carriers were all pulled out from the MIDDLE EAST and the Afghanistan
support role leaving our land forces naked and exposed without the air support
needed to carry out their missions.!
NORFOLK, VA. (February 8, 2014). This is the first time since WWII that five
aircraft carriers were docked together. (These are all nuclear carriers).
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69),
USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77),
USS Enterprise (CVN 65),
USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75),
and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72)
are all in port at Naval Station Norfolk , Va. , the world’s largest naval station.
Knowledgeable sources stated that this breached a long standing military
protocol in the Navy meant to avoid a massive enemy strike on major US forces.

This ordering of most of the Navy’s capitol ships into one place is
unprecedented since Pearl Harbor !
This photograph of ships lined up at the piers of the Norfolk Naval Base was widely circulated in March 2013 with accompanying claims that it showed five U.S. aircraft carriers simultaneously docked in the same place for the first time since World War II.
Although the photograph is genuine, and five carriers were indeed docked at Norfolk at the same time, most of the claims in the accompanying text are exaggerated or untrue: the ships were not all "first line" carriers, nor were they "pulled out from the Middle East" and "ordered into harbor for routine inspections," and the situation was not the first occurrence of its type since World War II, nor was it a "breach of long-standing military protocol."I am not happy about this.
