I don’t get it. Why did the B52 need to visually identify the Nimitz? Why would you use a B52 for such a task? Is this just an anacronistic exercise that is part of navy tradition?

I'm sure some hard-charger turned it into an ELINT exercise just to take the fun out of it.

It’s an exercise! The F-18s were probably using the Buff to practice interecepting Bears, which is not an anacronistic exercise.
