The video shows an unmanned X-47B stealth drone launching off the USS George H. W. Bush near Virginia on May 14, 2013. All three camera angles of the aircraft carrier are shown in the U.S. Navy’s video. The clips in the circulating video dates to 2012 and 2013 and show U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, not a Turkish warship.
