Here is what is to me an interesting picture,
the USS Yorktown is sailing in reverse, the aft end of
her flight deck is full, and a airplane is preparing to
land, flying in over her bow.

That might be true except this Pic is photshopped. The wake
doesn't fit the rest of the picture.

Wake looks consistent to me...

I blew it up and checked where the wake meets the ship.

The pic pixellates so badly that it is difficult to detect any
photoshopping. I can see nothing that shouts out "fake". The shadows
from the clouds are consistent, and don't suggest the ship or
background was reversed.
