Yeah, but on what frequency? Chances are they have no idea what frequency
you're on.


121.5



My guess is that an aircraft carrier is considered a towered airport...
but how would you know their frequency to make contact? Maybe it's a
portable MOA or restricted airspace. I've never seen anything in the FARs.


Here's the problem you are looking at from a legal standpoint and
wanting to add a legal tag to it. They aren't. They would be looking at
you as a threat.



Maybe it's "nothing"... after all just a few months ago a pair of Russian
TU-95 Bear bombers overflew the USS Nimitz. One of them flew directly over
the Nimitz at 2000 feet and no one shot them down.


And just how many weapons do you think were tracking that Bear the whole
time?
