The duo, who led the U.S. in the indirect nuclear talks with Iran on Friday, visited the aircraft carrier at the invitation of US Central Command chief, Adm. Brad Cooper.
The carrier arrived in the region last week as part of a U.S. "armada" amid rising tensions with the Islamic regime of Iran. It is stationed in the Arabian Sea.
The visit came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump stated that while the talks went well, "But I think Iran looks like they want to make a deal very badly, as they should. Last time, they decided maybe not to do it, but I think they probably feel differently. We'll see what the deal is. It'll be different than last time. And we have a big armada. We have a big fleet heading in that direction. It'll be there pretty soon. So we'll see how that works out.”
