The US Navy aircraft in formation on their way to do battle with the Japanese fleet are flying in a non-combat "diamond of diamonds" formation. The "diamond of diamonds" is typically flown for ceremonial purposes or friendly displays of naval air power, and consists of a diamond of four airplanes in front, two diamonds of four airplanes behind and to the left and right of the lead diamond, and a single diamond of four airplanes at the rear, a total of 16 aircraft flying in formation. As many of the air wing squadrons and aircraft types as possible would be included, but E-2 Hawkeyes and helicopters would be too slow to take part (and would likely require a fifth four-aircraft diamond - no longer a diamond of diamonds).
