Other poster mentioned it looked like they landed and immediately took off so they're probably working on touch-and-go landings. That would also be consistent with circling the airport area.

It's a pretty routine part of pilot training. Pretty sure the Navy requires any carrier pilot who's been on land for more than a month to practice touch-and-go landings before they can land back on a carrier.

F-15 is not a Navy plane and 99% these are based out of Springfield with MA Air national guard
