Valiant effort
USS NIMITZ, At Sea - International media take pictures as a C-2 approaches the USS Nimitz's flight deck for landing. Navy personnel refer to the C-2 as carrier on-board delivery, or COD. The Navy uses the COD to deliver passengers and cargo from the carrier to shore and back. The USS Nimitz was one of three aircraft carriers which participated in the exercise.
