F-4B cat shot

Interesting unusual scene. Any story behind this?

The caption said it’s the Ranger moored in Yokosuka Japan 1963, that's all i know but as mentioned it's in a clean config and most likely just enough gas to get to the nearest runway.

The strange part to me being that I am in the shipping business, is that the ship seems to be tied up, the gang way attached and down, but yet there are tugs pushing on the ship? Wonder if they were there to keep the ship steady for the launch?

Thanks, Finn. Looks like the most noisy day ever for the harbour.

I have also noticed the tug-ship, looking as it pushes the aircraft carrier. If it's not Photoshop-ed, then it's very strange. Keep the carrier steady for the launch? Hmm.... I don't think so.

Any other opinions?
