Turkey & Poland:
Gokova, a Modernized Gabya (O. H. Perry) class frigate of the Turkish Navy and Generał Kazimierz Pułaski, an O.H. Perry class frigate of the Polish Navy.
21st and 22th of June, 2019, the first days of the 137th Kiel Week. The two ships were some of the many visiting warships that had returned from the NATO BALTOPS (Baltic Operations) Exercise.
Of the eight Gabya-class frigates in service with the Turkish Navy , the first four vessels have been modernised and upgraded extensively. The four vessels were fitted with an 8-cell Mk41 vertical launcher system (VLS) situated in front of the existing Mk13 SM-1 surface-to-air missiles (SAM) launcher, making a total of 32 RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) SAM. Moreover, a new Thales SMART-S Mk2 3D radar has replaced the AN/SPS-49(V)4 air-search radar.The ships have received upgrades including the GENESIS advanced combat management system (CMS), the Aircraft Ship Integrated Secure and Traverse System (ASIST), a system that equips the majority of Turkish major surface combatants, so they can accommodate an S-70 helicopter in extreme sea states, modifications on their Mk92 director and Aselsan-made SATCOM antennas. Their Phalanx close-in weapon system (CIWS) will also be upgraded in the near future to the most advanced configuration, the Block 1B Baseline 2. On the contrary, the Polish vessel has not received any kind of upgrades just some small additions like Orbit SATCOM and navigation radars.

USN:
USS New Jersey firing a broadside in Korea.
USS Bataan (CVL-29) in January 1952 with F4U-4B Corsair fighter-bombers of VMF-314 on board.
USS Enterprise (CV-6), New York Naval Shipyard, 22 June 1958. Alongside is the USS Independence (CV-62), fitting out. Enterprise was sold for scrapping on July 1; Independence would be commissioned 10 January 1959.
Enterprise was commissioned in 1938, so this shows just how much carriers grew in 20 years.
