It's summarized quite well there:

It was a stupid blunder from TTSA, they just copied that photo from the FighterSweep article, which used that and several other images for illustration only, and never claimed any of those were connected to the event:
https://fightersweep.com/1460/x-files-edition/

It was even more revealing how they told an inaccurate and sensationalized version of that story in their announcement event. That mixed facts with fiction even more.

The fact that the picture still haunts them a couple of months later and is used to discredit the Nimitz incident in the media just shows how much it matters to get the details right when it comes to credibility. Those who are not that familiar with the story can easily get the impression that the whole event was a dud just because of that.

And what's more, I haven't seen them trying to make any corrections to any of their mistakes. Including how that pilot report reveals how someone probably hastily googled the identifier for USS Princeton, and didn't notice it was the wrong one, one that sunk during WW2.
