As you can see, that image describes the aircraft as being aboard Hermes. I am attempting to find someone who can say one way or the other. Maury Markowitz (トーク) 19:08, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Yup, this is not for Forestal

The give-away is the double-line markings on the deck under the nosewheel. These were used on some British carriers to indicate the path of the catapult launchers at the bow. They are most clearly visible here on the Victorious:

Zoom in for clarity.

Another user noted that the deck crew is not wearing deck helmets, which suggests it is not a US ship, and another that the crew ladders are the ones customized for this aircraft which would be highly unlikely to be found on a US ship. Maury Markowitz (トーク) 14:07, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
