They can be there too legally if they surfaced and ran up the colors.

In international waters brawn speaks..so if one nation could technically and morally dominate a sea area they could pressure the other party to submit to their will. So even a seaborne based Su-33 could fly above another country's aircraft carrier fleet had it been accompanied with half a dozen or more aircraft carriers in close enough proximity LOL. Naval power projection in the area is what enforces self made rule in international waters I believe. No power no enforcement.

don't know about Britain but they could fly them right over NYC or DC if they announced it to the US Government and informed Air Traffic Control. Its part of the Open Skys Treaty. Both nations can overfly the other to monitor each others military a set number of times a year.
