The flyovers occurred as the Nimitz and accompanying ships closed in on Japan for a long-scheduled visit. The bomber was one of four detected about 500 miles away from the U.S. Navy battle group, the Daily Mail said. Two of the four flew along the Japanese coast but four U.S. F-18 fighters were launched and intercepted the other two bombers about 50 miles out.
