Sensational walk-through - I really enjoyed that! What a fine ship she is. My father served for 23 years in the Royal Navy and I loved going aboard the ships he served on - walking down cramped corridors full of people, pipes, doors, cables and complex machinery brought back so many great memories - thank you!
For those wondering why the Sailors were weirded out by the cam its probably because most ships don't allow recording below topside because of something called OpSec or Operational Security so seeing a dude walking around recording everyone is weird.
No one reported this because 1 there are scouts online looking for opsec violators. 2 no one wants to deal with that shit. I'm surprised no one shipmated whoever that was with that camera, oah yeah that's right this is the politically correct east coast bitch navy not the real mf'n west coast/ overseas Navy,
Your literally 100% wrong. There's nothing in this video that wasn't able to be released. They were weirded out because some idiot is walking around with a camera. That's wierd. You have no idea what opsec is.
Do sailors salute rank at sea in their daily business or is it reserved for formal occasions or certain spaces? I get that there may not have been any officers nearby the recording at the time just curious. Thanks.
Memories of my old navy days when I was on the USS Harry S. Truman CVN75 same kind as this one. I don’t miss the mess cranking or cleaning, but I sure miss the food on that ship and the port visits we had.
I just took a tour of the USS Midway (CV41) and have been searching RUclips videos like this to see how different carriers are today. And they’re not! Some things don’t change it seems. Thanks to all of those who served and are serving. Seems like a tough life.
I'm 6'5 and the midway has many areas that a 5'6 person couldn't stand up straight (including the mess decks!). That would have been miserable for me. On CVN-73 I was good almost everywhere after we got out of shipyard hard hats.
Ah yes, the last of the Nimitz class carriers; Now the Ford class comes into play. Loved the enthusiasm of the one sailor sweeping the mess decks, I am retired Navy, USMC VETERAN, Loved my time serving my beloved country, my heart goes out to all our service men and women, stay out of harms way, Serve our country proud, 💯🇺🇸😍
Even though I served as a pilot before this carrier was commissioned, I was on the Kitty Hawk,...this brought back so many memories...some good, some not so good....civilians have no idea what deployed sailors put up with....
Was onboard the Hawk in the 80’s when we made 3 deployments in 4 years which include reenlisting as we transited the Suez Canal around the world. I miss the Navy terribly. ABFC Rutherford (AW) V-Div
Having served aboard an old WW2 Carrier this video showed how much nicer ships are today and all of the women serving aboard. We had none years ago. I applaud the woman serving in the service of our country.
Remember seeing a carrier off the coast of San Diego when we were at the beach just chilling there. Gave me perspective on just how big these things are
Anyone else reminded of the scene in Goodfellas, filmed in one shot, where Henry enters the club through the side door? I kept waiting for one of the sailors to say "I'm going to get the papers, get the papers"
The only time your Bird Farm was rust free, after coming out of Dry Dock and S/71 had Sand Blasted and repainted the hull, spent my years at the Shipyard

Wow, what a bunch of racist pigs. Can't even separate the cultures from the governments that run their countries... Y'know, sometimes it's hard to claim I'm an American, just because of all the bullshit I have to listen to from my own countryman who claim to be pro-American and yet clearly don't understand what that means!
I have ridden only one carrier and that is the USS Midway on its way to the first gulf war. It is now a museum in San Diego and is much smaller than modern carriers
Blue tile was reserved for 'Officers country' when I was in. Thanks for posting this, brings back a lot of fond memories. It sucked 'while I was there', but thinking back...I have nothing but really good memories :) AT2, VF-114 Fighting Aardvarks, CVN-65, CAG-11. GO NAVY!! ps...Is that the new uniform, blue camo?

2:23 AO3 Temples…who is now AO1 Temples, is an instructor in Pensacola, Florida at NATTC. He’s a young first class! Very cool to see him in such a popular video.
Thank you for your service. What most interests me is the reactions of personnel to the camera, with regard to what they do once they know a camera is present. It made me wonder what this walk through would look like if the camera(man) was an admiral and the camera was out of sight. That could make Allen Funt roll over in his grave.
not really....they stand a little straighter and back off so the Admiral can make his way through. He also will have a security escort with him. They do have cameras' through out the ship for security and assist in the advent of fire. Al the Captains I have met have all been very thoughtful of their crew. You hear it on the 1MC informing them of events, music on main deck...or a run they will be doing....it's a lot of hard work, a lot of training and getting it all to work.
She's at her best when her crew is on board and away. God watch over our find sailors and officers. And the family and friends who love them dear. Amen ✝️ Navy Chaplain Corp 🇺🇸 (Ret)
@@wouldntyouliketoknow9891 Believe it or not, I was on duty when this was taken, except I was up top dealing with why they were down there. Just before these guys rolled their cameras there was a medical emergency in the Hangar. The Black Girl with the Fleece on was my Watch Commander (Master at Arms) and the girl in the coveralls was an LN2 (Legal). Not long after that part they were still talking about what they were "arguing" about, and they weren't arguing, they were telling a story about some suspects we dealt with about a day ago and how he was blaming other people.
I miss my Navy days in the early 80's. Do they still do the 1MC announcement of, "Sweepers, sweepers man your brooms. Give the ship a clean sweep down fore and aft. Sweep down all ladder backs and passageways. Now sweepers." Or something like that. It was a long time ago. :)
I started my Navy life in the late 80's on board ship in the early 90's and they still said that at least when I was there. The Navy is pretty steeped in tradition so I would assume it's still said, but you know what they say when you assume.
Beautiful ship, sail her well. I am a Plankowner on the USS Lincoln, CVN72 so I know the pleasure and pains of a new vessel. Worth every ounce of energy and pride.

@403 Forbidden Why would you assume that? RUclips is accessible internationally. My country is not the US. It's a country much less powerful, and much more honourable.
@403 Forbidden Where the hell is the contradiction? One of the main reasons the USA is NOT an honorable nation is that it uses the "might makes right" principle at the largest possible scale, systematically. What don't you understand?
For a ship just being deployed, she sure could use a paint job. We always had side cleaners doing touch up work any time we were in port. Usually it was sailors needing “encouragement” to shape up. I was one of them, many years ago on the USS Forrestal.
Thanks so much for the video, Happy Labor day to everyone who works for a living!! Especially all the Military !!! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SERVICES !!!😎😁 !!!
Ah memories! This is not my ship, not my carrier. Aside from the numerous blue floor tiles? So similar in so many ways to my own ship. At the same time, different as well. USS Ranger CV-61, is long gone, blue floor tiles aboard Ranger, were saved for Officers country. Places where enlisted men, were discouraged from existing. Of course this ship is a "love boat," (all genders welcome!) My ship only allowed one gender aboard except for special occasions. Which nearly always occurred in port. It's still a navy ship, and the fittings, the vibe, and the crew's reaction to the CAMERA, so familiar. It would be so much fun, to visit a CVN, for a few weeks. Work with the crew, lend a hand on board. It seems so strange that it was 40 years ago. that I served aboard an aircraft carrier. Fair winds and following seas!
Was a Squadron Corpsman working Medical for the 1980 Saratoga and 1982 John F. Kennedy cruises. Glad to see more below deck activity like berthing and Sickbay and other areas
Maybe it's the bulky uniforms, but I'm surprised at how heavy some of the sailors are. Don't Navy personnel have to pass regular PT exams and just generally stay in shape?
Clifford Young, Yes when I was in 1990-1994 they were threatening sailors with discharge if they didn't lose the weight , I had a PO1 who had 16 years in they told him to lose the weight or be discharged and he lost it back in 1993.
When I would come home from deployment, all my friends were always asking what being at sea was like. No one ever believed me just how BORING the day-to-day aboard ship really was.
I guess it's not exactly taking a cruise. More like working a 24 hour shift at the factory. Even if it's floating. You wouldn't have much time to look outside anyway.
Lawren Downing absolutely, i am retired Navy, MARINE VETERAN, Navy still can not make up their freaking mind on what Uniforms our Sailors have to wear, My 1972 Seabag issue was only valued at 199.00, How times and Inflation had changed 😡
Why would something like that break your heart? Aside from the color, which will be changing to NWU3 very soon, the NWU has been a god send. I started in the Navy in the old bell bottom dungarees. They wore out quick. Hard to keep cool when it was stinking hot, hard to stay warm when it was bone-chilling cold. Hard to keep from getting dirty and worn out. The NWU is comfortable, roomy, plenty of pocket space for gear, durable meaning they dont wear out, easy to clean & press, easy to bundle up in the winter and very breathable in the summer.
That's pretty much the case with so many crew! You need all these people to run smooth carrier operations, But when nothing happening you got 1000s of people with not much to do lol
How many knee knockers to the head ? Distances were always measured by knee knockers....... CV-61 USS RANGER last two rides on CV by God 61! 91' & 93' Austrailia cruise!

Maybe it's the bulky uniforms, but I'm surprised at how heavy some of the sailors are. Don't Navy personnel have to pass regular PT exams and just generally stay in shape?
Clifford Young, Yes when I was in 1990-1994 they were threatening sailors with discharge if they didn't lose the weight , I had a PO1 who had 16 years in they told him to lose the weight or be discharged and he lost it back in 1993.
Kitty Hawk vet here from 2004 to 2007. Engineering department auxiliaries division.
On the day that this piece was filmed, how many crew members could fit into the uniform that they wore on the final day of initial basic training??🤔😯
For every 2 fat there were like 8 fit lmao
4:20 Tug boat crew thinking: "please don't drop the anchor right now"
It's so lame to name carriers after Presidents. They should be named after Medal of Honor recipients.
I saw a guy dive off one of those hanger bay openings when It was in, and it WASNT swim call. Couldn't believe my eyes.
Very cool! Impressive and exciting! Thank you for posting.
That is cool, looks you might not see daylight for weeks though. Always dreamed of having a look around.
That’s a BIG ship!!! 😱
Got my orders to this carrier. I’m an AC, I can’t wait
I fucking hate it here
@@inferno963 lmao it Ight. Ports were gonna hit are insane be honest
@@Divirse Maybe just a little insane
When I would come home from deployment, all my friends were always asking what being at sea was like. No one ever believed me just how BORING the day-to-day aboard ship really was.
I guess it's not exactly taking a cruise. More like working a 24 hour shift at the factory. Even if it's floating. You wouldn't have much time to look outside anyway.
when I was in the Navy between 1974 and 1979, it wasn't like a factory so much as like a prison, with a chance of drowning.
4:17...i kept waiting for the anchor to fall on the tugboat, lol!
I'll never get used to seeing BDUs on anyone but Marines on ships. It just breaks my heart.
Lawren Downing absolutely, i am retired Navy, MARINE VETERAN, Navy still can not make up their freaking mind on what Uniforms our Sailors have to wear, My 1972 Seabag issue was only valued at 199.00, How times and Inflation had changed 😡
Why would something like that break your heart? Aside from the color, which will be changing to NWU3 very soon, the NWU has been a god send. I started in the Navy in the old bell bottom dungarees. They wore out quick. Hard to keep cool when it was stinking hot, hard to stay warm when it was bone-chilling cold. Hard to keep from getting dirty and worn out. The NWU is comfortable, roomy, plenty of pocket space for gear, durable meaning they dont wear out, easy to clean & press, easy to bundle up in the winter and very breathable in the summer.
Me too.
The good old days.
BDU = Battle Dress Uniform, though your typical squid doesn't get to fire anything more than a pistol in boot.
Makes me miss ship life. All just a memory now. Haze grey and underway...
Amen me too
i see my aunt in the beginning
What’s up with the statue standing in the middle of the hanger in everyone’s way it seems?? Beautiful statue just wondering about placement.
A ship that big will take about 6 months to know your way around from top to bottom
Kim Jong-un I agree supreme leader.
Nope not true.
I love you for this video.
I deployed 2014 on it.
Werdrath uggggh I deployed 2017 on it, but I heard your guys’ dep was worse
God bless these brave souls.
I walk that first p-way you filmed every single day haha
Most of the personnel aboard this ship just seem to be walking around doing nothing like Zombies
That's pretty much the case with so many crew! You need all these people to run smooth carrier operations, But when nothing happening you got 1000s of people with not much to do lol
Minimum 12 hour shifts 7 days a week when out to sea. It affects you!
How long does it take to learn your way around a ship this big?
When your the new kid at school
Im a filipino but i love UNCLE SAM..
Why does everyone looks at your camera as if it was totally innapropriate or something?
KallegrandStudios im sure it must feel awkward being filmed when you're not prepared for it/didn't want it
Opsec usually confiscates recording devices - obviously, this one was given leave to take footage. Still would be an odd sight for a sailor.
Because you have a random guy walking around when cleaning
stations is going on.
It has nothing to do with opsec. It’s just not common for non-MC’s to be filming.
Great video.. no talk over or music. Just focus on the carrier...
존나 멋있다👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Great ship
How many knee knockers to the head ? Distances were always measured by knee knockers....... CV-61 USS RANGER last two rides on CV by God 61! 91' & 93' Austrailia cruise!
John Shell Was on Ranger 1985 to 1989, Sad note, Brownsville Texas almost has her totally Scraped, Loved my time her, May her HULL rest on peace 🤢
Amazing how similar it is to the Eisenhower. Even that damn skullery.
brownj2 well it’s the same class of ship, soooo
