No more hints and thankyou BLUEHAWK for your replies
It is the Yorktown, steaming full astern to land a TBF Avenger over the bow, July 1943. She transited the Panama Canal on 11 July and departed Balboa, Panama, on July 12. The warship arrived in Pearl Harbor on July 24 and began a month of exercises in the Hawaiian Islands. Though provision for over-the-bow landing was a design requirement, it was rarely practiced and the bow arresting gear was soon eliminated." USN Source
