I think the description made it very clear what type of ship is in the photo. And it also appears that the plane is "flying by" said destroyers. How can it not be a flyby? Perhaps you are thinking of the term "buzz the tower"?

That isn't a cloud.That would be what a sonic boom looks likesonic boomA shock wave of compressed air caused by an aircraft traveling faster than the speed of sound. It is often audible as a loud, explosive sound, and it sometimes causes damage to structures on the ground.
