I’m a proud Navy Dad. My son is currently forward deployed in Japan and assigned with USS Ronald Reagan. He flies the F18E Super Hornet. I wish and pray for them to be safe always. Thanks for posting this video.
I am a Navy vet and served as a commissary man on the old USS Randolph, CVS 15 which was de commissioned in 1969. She was a much smaller ship and served through WW2. We served as an ASW ship and hunted submarines. It is really amazing to see all the changes that have taken place on a carrier since my days. I very much enjoyed the time we spent at sea and the places we visited. True we worked hard every day at sea but it was truly rewarding. I envy all of these young people serving on these ships and thank God for them serving our country. I also very much enjoy these Documentaries, Thank you.
My Dad turned 95 years old on December 31st, 2022... was on a carrier during WW ll. My Dad traveled all around the world. He still talks about his amazing Navy experience and loved every minute of it!!
My dear father passed at 97 years in 2021, WWII Navy Veteran. Served on various ships his favorite, The Upshur. Great man loved his Country proud American. Loved the sea his buddies. Shared many stories incredible memory for history. For 45 years he said Liberals (Marxists) will destroy America. Man, was he right! Political junkie he could no longer listen to the news; Too painful for a Patriot. At peace now out at sea with his buddies. May God bless your father for his service. May God bless us one and all.
@@lyric7831 What a great life adventure your Dad, like my Dad have had. The greatest generation in U.S. history. Interesting how he tells me the same about how our country is being destroyed from the inside out... ALL are traitors!! And he is so right! May your Dad rest in peace in the bosom of God!
@@alisontopalian8592 Wow! Isn't that the truth... we'll never see that generation again... sad, but so true. From what I've read, there are only a little over 167,000 WW ll alive today. God Bless your Dad for his service.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all that served and serving our nation. I also prayed God will keeps all of you safe under his arms. USA!!!!! From an old VN war refugee. Stay Safe and Stay Brave!
Thank you all for your service! So much skill and hard work making it look effortless. My dad was in the US Navy during the Korean War. He became a firefighter after he got out and rose up the ranks to Asst Chif. He was also a pilot, CFI and taught me to fly at 15 yo. We’d go out before high school and his work. After retiring, he and Mom, with my brother helping when not at school or work, built 2 experimental aircraft, a Long-Eze, then a Glasair 2RG. They flew both planes all over the country going to air shows or to the beach. I miss flying with Dad so much. RIP Mom and Dad ❤️❤️
My dad served in the US Navy aboard both the USS Lexington and USS Independence. He speaks frequently about his adventures. He cries a lot, too. He misses his time serving his country ♥️ I’m so grateful to him and all that serve.
I served on the USS Coral Sea CVA 43 during the Viet Nam War. I worked with guided missiles that went onto the planes. 12 hrs on & 12 hrs off. I was lucky as I worked from 7 pm to 7 am so my shift was fine. I love ever minute of it & am proud to say that I have served.
Ever have Morale, Welfare, & Recreation activities on board ? Examples - basketball, in hanger bays . . . Movie night in with 60 person occupation - also hanger space ? 🤠 🇺🇸 😎
Yall went over there uninvited and just started killing people on both sides treated the civilian population like shit and then just left You really proud of that War crimanls all of ya
LBJ and his wife took financial control of Bell helicopter and made large investments in Genral dynamics just before he sent troops to Vietnam It was for money and raw materials like rubber and opium There was never a South Vietnam and the only Vietnamese to ask us for help was ho chi min Peel the onion and follow the money before you go kill people we don't know for money
Been 30 years since i last stepped foot on the flight deck. Spent 6 months , 12 hour shifts on the flight deck as a plane captain aboard the Kennedy (CV67). It was the most exciting time working up there, loved every second of it. Watching these videos brings back so many memories, and it’s interesting how many things really haven’t changed except todays sailors sure do get better food than we did back then.
Thanks for this great story. My dad was a SeaBee on Tinian. I was honored the accompany my oldest son, a Marine, aboard the USS America on a "Tiger Cruise" going aboard at the end of Fleet Week in NYC, sailing to Norfolk, allowed to wander the ship at will, watching a launch, a Tomcat supersonic flyby, and then revovery of the planes. I had my own bunk with the marines in my sons group. The cruise gave me the greatest respect and gratitude for our Navy. God Bless the Navy, and God Bless America.
I have a part me (my son) is on the CVN 77 on deployment at present, I hope he and all the rest of the sailors are enjoying their trip, it's his first and I do wish him and all the others crew members on board a happy, safe, memorable trip and may God keep them together until their return to our shore...
God bless the moms, dads, spouses and children of all our active duty and deployed men and women. It is a difficult job being the silent strength that helps to fuel our uniformed loved ones. They need your support first and foremost. I am the proud wife of a retired US Marine with several deployments, but I'm not here to brag about our military life, I do miss it though, I came to brag up the silent members. You deserve to be thanked every day for your service as well....Thank you for your selfless support!!!
As an ex RAN sailor i had the opportunity to go on the Nimitz and the Midway. The US Navy personnel are experts in their field, friendly and accommodating. I continue to be in awe of these giants of the sea (and jealous of the crew). US Navy carriers are where it’s at!!
Hello Gina how are you doing today? the military has been doing the most lately...i appreciate all there efforts...do you also agree with me that they are doing a good job?
God bless all those who serve their nation on the high seas. Napoleon Bonaparte said "An army marches on its stomach". It doesn't get any better watching the culinary team prepare and serve the crew. Top marks.
My husband was attached to the USS John F Kennedy as an Aircraft mechanic. He now trains Navy Aircraft/Fighter jet mechanics all over the world. Thank You for sharing!
Hello Mariah how are you doing today? wow your husband has done well for him self..i like is idea for not rest after is service how about you hope you learn some skills from your husband too?
If I was a young person again, I would definitely repeat my tour of duty with the Corps. Being on a naval vessel in the middle of the south china sea just waiting for something to go down was exhilarating. Tough, grimmy, cramped, hot. I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
I’m retired Army aviation (rotary wing) but I’ve always been curious and amazed with the Navy’s dynamics, logistical nightmares and miracles. I love the military’s camaraderie! Seeing the sacrifices that we all make/made to serve our country. Also seeing these highly trained and talented servicemen and women. Serving our country has and always will be the honor of my life! Thank you all!!!
As a service member who is currently stationed on USS Couch where I have proudly served as a cushion weight for 41 years I would like to thank all service members.
I just got back from Everett Washington. My grandson is stationed there and for my birthday he was able to take me on the destroyer he is on. It was the best birthday ever. Now that I have seen this video I do appreciate more everything he does. Very proud of him. Very thankful for our armed forces.
Hello Cathy how are you doing today? it's a good thing your son where able to be rescued God bless the US Navy's for their good works how is your grandson doing now...i hope he is in better place now?
My first and only active carrier duty as ships company was on the U.S.S Independence for 3 and 1/4 years to the Mediterranean Sea. From a Seaman Recruit to Seaman as a Boatswain Mate for a year transfer to 3rd Class Petty Officer to a 2nd Class Petty Officer Data Processor Technician. I did get on several Carriers as a guess during my active duty and during my reserve time for work that needed to be completed. My twilight tour was returning to Indy for the second time in Japan, and my last time to see her would be Banger, Washington in her mothball stage. This film is true with more that I didn't have in my time as active duty. Thanks for the old memories
I am so proud of our Navy! This video just made me even prouder! My dad was in the Navy during World War II and operated in the Pacific Theatre. I have several friends who are active Navy and Air Navy. I make it a point when I see someone in uniform to say to them "Thank You for your service."
My Dad turned 95 years old on December 31st, 2022... was on a carrier during WW ll. My Dad traveled all around the world. He still talks about his Navy experience and loved every minute of it!!
I served in the navy 1981 to 1985 and was stationed in Sigonella Sicily. As a female at that time, we were not allowed to be on a carrier or any war oriented vessel. This was prior to desert storm. But I was an aviation machinist mate (AD).
Thanks for the video. It brought so much memories. I was on the USS INDEPENDENCE and since then, I have never had a similar experience. As a trouble shooter on the flight deck for GSE (Ground Support Equipment ), our RFI (Ready for Issue) status was always 99.9%. God bless America.
Me and my wife boarded USS Ronald Reagan during her visit to Port Klang Malaysia years back..Almost 5500 crews on board..Cocktail party we usually seen on tv etc..We talked one of the Lieutenant of 18 squadron..Touched the bomb..Unforgettable memories..Tks to US Embassy whom invited us in this occasion..Tks to my buddies from USCBP team Jon A.Underwood, Paul Gretter, Ms Yolanda Salazar and those I can't recall their name..Nice knowing y'all during yr tenure in Malaysia wt Megaport Scanner..😊😊😊
I had always figured the “running” of an Aircraft Carrier or ANY of the naval vessels was a huge undertaking & this video shows & explains that. Still higher than my “figuring”. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
The US aircraft carriers are just amazing. I wish I can go on tour on these massive floating cities. God bless to all those in the military and navy. Thank you for your service🙏💪
as i know there is no chance too see those amazing vessels during the operation. but if you have that option to visit the san diego then you can have a tour at US MIDWAY. thats pretty much same as the others but the retired one. that was the first us aircraft carrier was built at 1945 and finish her job by 1992.
A wonderful video, I enjoyed every minute. I wasn’t able to serve due to family circumstance and interference. I will grieve for the rest of my life for this missed opportunity to serve my country and not being able to fulfill my lifelong dream that I held from early childhood and well into adulthood. Although it may make me sad to watch navy videos time to time, these are my favorite types of videos to watch. I cant tell you how proud I am of our military with your hard work and dedication. You all are the cream of the crop and role models for America. I pray you stay safe and for the well being of your families.
WOW! Amazing footage. Glad you posted this epic video to enlightened us all. This is really an epic clip. We appreciate them. Proud to be a Ghanaian and an American.
Hello Alice how are you doing today? Amen to that...the US Navy team has been doing the most lately i pray may God continue to bless them cause they are putting there life on the line to save other 🙏🙏 do you have any body in the navy?
I'm a Limy in Leicester in the UK with no Naval Connections and I send you my compliments to all who operate these fine vessels. They operate like a Swiss Watch and so impressive.
I was a Navy nurse on USS Repose during Vietnam war. If i remember 1966, 67. 18 y/o Marines with legs blown off, land mines. We never should have been there.
I served 20 years in the navy. I was in CV 59 USS Forrestal , CV 61 USS Ranger, CVN 70 USS Carl Vinson. I’m glad I stayed in for 20 years, my benefits alone helped me a lot especially now that I’m retired. No problem whatsoever on health and life insurance.
My son and I had the pleasure of touring the Carl Vinson with one of the crew when it called into Hobart, Tasmania on its way home to the States from one of its deployments, it was an awesome experience as my son who was about 8 or 9 at the time got to sit in the Captains chair, he just thought it was great! of course this was before 2001 but I will never forget the experience. Thank you to all who serve whether you are Australian or American.
@@peterb445 Thank you. He did but unfortunately ,for him, he was in a accidentvthat ended up getting him a medical discharge. I was thrilled, he wasn't quite so happy as he was planning on making a career of the service. He got two tours, that's enough 😁
I am the proud father of a submariner, recently promoted to petty officer first class. He is going to college (remotely) while working and will apply to become an officer once he gets his diploma. Tough guys, these submariners.
I was in the army.but I'm proud of the NAVY. I HAD A FRIEND ON THE KITTY HAWK. I LOVE AIR CRAFT MOST OF ALL. I LOVE TO WATCH THEM CATAPULT OFF THE DECK OF A CARRIER. WE ARE THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD.
Outstanding video and a huge hats off to all US Navy personnel who protect the freedom we cherish so much. As the late President Ronald Reagan once said: "We will always be prepared so we may always be free."
For profit health care is proof the whole thing is a fraud The United States military has done nothing but lie and fight illegal wars for my whole life Sick and tired of being lied to and war All Americans are war crimanls Ever dam one you
As Jim Jefferies would say, you can't expect an Australian to understand freedom :) Jokes aside though, we in Europe are grateful for your operations around the world.

I like ike. I served on the Eisenhower for 2.5 years 1988-1990. I was a Dk2 serving in the pay roll office auditing documents and payroll records for errors and out of balance accounts of service men on board. I handled officer accounts. When I was discharged from the Navy I had the distinct honor of holding the record of fewest out of balance accounts on any Naval ship in the entire US Navy. I really enjoyed my time onboard this beautilfull ship.I established an error rate of .00001. As far as I know, this record still stands. My Captain was CO7 (Commodor) JJ Dantone. He was awesome. Apparently, the Eisenhower was used to create this video, or, at least most of it.
Thank you very much sir ma'am.. salute from the philippines 🇵🇭 ... very nice video... of an air craft carrier... very. nformative... long lived USA... I'm from cebu philippines 🇵🇭... more power to you all.... bravo3 muchos grasyas adios....
Thanks for your support of the US Navy. I’m US Navy Dad originally from Cebu City. My son is a fighter pilot flying the F18 Super Hornet. As far as I know, he’s the only ethnic Filipino serving as a fighter pilot in the US Navy. I’m very proud of him.
Thanks for your generous comments. I was in Subic bay to get ammunitions for our ship. A big mistake when the government shut down that base & so many jobs were losses. I’ll always have a lot of respect for the Philippines.
I was stationed on the USS America, CV-66, 1976-1979. From your video, life on a carrier is a lot better. We didn’t have ship stores, the food at times was terrible and we never had a swim call. As a Quartermaster, I worked on the bridge so we had a great view of what was going on. At times we would hit storms where some waves came on the flight deck. I felt bad for the other smaller ships because in a bad storm, I saw a destroyer come out of the water and then go under the waves. Saw the power of what water can do to a ship. As a master helmsman, I would be assigned to the helm during replenishment at sea. I learned how ships can collide at sea. Now my ship is anchored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. She was a great ship!!!!!
A lot of this is embellished for the cameras. I was on the Reagan in '08 and they most certainlly did not have chefs hand carving meat for the crew. The ship's store is just about the size of a gas station store to buy sodas, snacks, and cigarettes.
After they decommissioned her, the Navy decided to take her out and see how good her armor is against modern weapons. After all was done to her, the ship’s armor held up and they couldn’t sink her. At the end, they just pulled the plug and now she is an artificial reef. RIP to a great and wonderful ship.
I was in the Navy for 5 years as an aircrewman on P-3C Orion's which are land based only so I've never been on a ship. One of my bosses retired after 30 years and never stepped foot on a ship. He just kept rotating betwween P-3C squadrons which are considered sea duty because we go on 6 month deployments and shore duty - he was an AOCM (NAC).
I served on the USS Hancock CVA 19 during the Viet Nam War 1964/1967 as a machinery repairman in the machine shop it looks like life aboard ship has changed a little to the better.
I work on a Space Force Base now for a defense contractor. I have much respect for these people and say this: They put their lives on the line for us so give them what they desire.
I served aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 from 86 to 90. I missed being a Plank Owner (a tradition when you are ships company when commissioned) by one month. We did a Caribbean cruise, a North Sea cruise and a Med cruise during my time aboard. We made countless one or two week cruises at the beginning for shake down. When a new ship is built, there's a number of sea trials and planned events that are called acceptance trials. So the first year was spent in and out of Newport News ship yard and Norfolk Naval base. The best thing I remember was how good the chow was. All the bread and pastries were baked fresh daily. I remember that when a tray of bread came out of the oven, the Mess Specialist would ring a small ship bell and that was the cue. A large hunk of 10 minute old sourdough and half a stick of butter...magic. The best way to keep a sailor happy is thru their stomach. And they did that well. I got out just as Desert Storm was brewing up.
In 1953, the FDR carrier came to Beirut Lebanon. My Uncle Mike was crew on that magnificent ship. As a young student, along with my folks we got to take a cruise for a day and watch what went on aboard, and it was fascinating. Not the same as it is today, but nonetheless impressive. We watched old prop powered war planes launched and recovered, and got to eat with the crew and tour most of the ship. One of the hi-lights of the day was an exhibition Basketball match between the Ship's Navy Team and the world renowned Harlem Globetrotters. That was a day in my life I will never forget.
I was a Navy college instructor 7 times, they are great. My son has one more year from retirement going to Germany for 1 more year. NROTC is the way to go.
I served on the USS Bon Homme Richard CVA31 and USS Constellation CV64, Both served in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Viet Nam War. I experienced swim call out at sea! I Never seen the ocean so calm like glass!
Hello Angel how are you doing today? wow you must have really have the time of your life in the USS...can you tell more about the calm ocean cause have never had such experience before tho🤣🤣🤣🤣
USS Enterprise (CVN-65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75), USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), USS George Washington (CVN-73), USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) - loved my service.
Having seen a couple of videos like this, I'm amazed at how life on a carrier is like. You definitely wouldn't expect to see such things on there as laundry rooms, kitchens.. . Just awesome.
Hello Rosemarie how are you doing today? the US Navy's have been doing the most lately i appreciate all their efforts do you have any friend or family member in the Navy?

I’m retired Army aviation (rotary wing) but I’ve always been curious and amazed with the Navy’s dynamics, logistical nightmares and miracles. I love the military’s camaraderie! Seeing the sacrifices that we all make/made to serve our country. Also seeing these highly trained and talented servicemen and women. Serving our country has and always will be the honor of my life! Thank you all!!!
Thank you for your service!
Thank you for your service.
Shops, maintenance or avnx
Not thanking for the service, I frankly don't care. But then again, the country I'm from has mandatory and shitty military service lol
As a service member who is currently stationed on USS Couch where I have proudly served as a cushion weight for 41 years I would like to thank all service members.
I just got back from Everett Washington. My grandson is stationed there and for my birthday he was able to take me on the destroyer he is on. It was the best birthday ever. Now that I have seen this video I do appreciate more everything he does. Very proud of him. Very thankful for our armed forces.
Hello Cathy how are you doing today?
it's a good thing your son where able to be rescued God bless the US Navy's for their good works
how is your grandson doing now...i hope he is in better place now?
Thank you. Yes, he is in a good place and I am so proud of him. He is a very special young man and the love I have for him can’t be measured.

@@cathyellington7599 Okay it's nice meeting you on here...do you mind if we talk better else where?
My first and only active carrier duty as ships company was on the U.S.S Independence for 3 and 1/4 years to the Mediterranean Sea. From a Seaman Recruit to Seaman as a Boatswain Mate for a year transfer to 3rd Class Petty Officer to a 2nd Class Petty Officer Data Processor Technician. I did get on several Carriers as a guess during my active duty and during my reserve time for work that needed to be completed. My twilight tour was returning to Indy for the second time in Japan, and my last time to see her would be Banger, Washington in her mothball stage. This film is true with more that I didn't have in my time as active duty. Thanks for the old memories
You guys are so advanced, wonderful,li like it
Incredible how this even works. Amazing.
God bless America!!
I am so proud of our Navy! This video just made me even prouder! My dad was in the Navy during World War II and operated in the Pacific Theatre.
I have several friends who are active Navy and Air Navy. I make it a point when I see someone in uniform to say to them "Thank You for your service."

I served in the navy 1981 to 1985 and was stationed in Sigonella Sicily. As a female at that time, we were not allowed to be on a carrier or any war oriented vessel. This was prior to desert storm. But I was an aviation machinist mate (AD).
SUPER GREAT Video LIKE😊
Thumbs Up and best greetings!
Thanks for the video. It brought so much memories. I was on the USS INDEPENDENCE and since then, I have never had a similar experience. As a trouble shooter on the flight deck for GSE (Ground Support Equipment ), our RFI (Ready for Issue) status was always 99.9%. God bless America.
NAVY. The best!
Me and my wife boarded USS Ronald Reagan during her visit to Port Klang Malaysia years back..Almost 5500 crews on board..Cocktail party we usually seen on tv etc..We talked one of the Lieutenant of 18 squadron..Touched the bomb..Unforgettable memories..Tks to US Embassy whom invited us in this occasion..Tks to my buddies from USCBP team Jon A.Underwood, Paul Gretter, Ms Yolanda Salazar and those I can't recall their name..Nice knowing y'all during yr tenure in Malaysia wt Megaport Scanner..😊😊😊
I had always figured the “running” of an Aircraft Carrier or ANY of the naval vessels was a huge undertaking & this video shows & explains that. Still higher than my “figuring”. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
Never want to go back to sea but I so miss the open sea and the people.
Are sailors allowed to have sex with other sailors or do they need to use their own hands and fingers or toys?
How I love to personally experience the greatness of the US navy
Thank you!! We appreciate your services!!
The US aircraft carriers are just amazing. I wish I can go on tour on these massive floating cities. God bless to all those in the military and navy. Thank you for your service🙏💪
as i know there is no chance too see those amazing vessels during the operation. but if you have that option to visit the san diego then you can have a tour at US MIDWAY. thats pretty much same as the others but the retired one. that was the first us aircraft carrier was built at 1945 and finish her job by 1992.
If you are in NYC sometime visit the Intrepid carrier and aviation museum.
The US midway in San Diego. I think it's on average a hour long tour, I took two hours. Such an amazing experience.
Holy shit this is magnificent. I could watch this all day long omg
The logistics of an aircraft carrier are simply amazing.
I was a cook in the US Army, and let me tell you Navy cooks and their kitchen are the best
A wonderful video, I enjoyed every minute. I wasn’t able to serve due to family circumstance and interference. I will grieve for the rest of my life for this missed opportunity to serve my country and not being able to fulfill my lifelong dream that I held from early childhood and well into adulthood. Although it may make me sad to watch navy videos time to time, these are my favorite types of videos to watch. I cant tell you how proud I am of our military with your hard work and dedication. You all are the cream of the crop and role models for America. I pray you stay safe and for the well being of your families.
Many thanks to our heroes who keep our country safe. You ard the best, many blessings to you and your family, and thank you for your service
WOW! Amazing footage. Glad you posted this epic video to enlightened us all. This is really an epic clip. We appreciate them. Proud to be a Ghanaian and an American.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN!!!!!! May GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
Hello Alice how are you doing today?
Amen to that...the US Navy team has been doing the most lately i pray may God continue to bless them cause they are putting there life on the line to save other 🙏🙏
do you have any body in the navy?
@Mauro Maxwell Hello how are you doing today and where are you texting from?
I served on the USS ENTERPRISE from 1982 to 1986 and this video brings back a lot memories
I'm a Limy in Leicester in the UK with no Naval Connections and I send you my compliments to all who operate these fine vessels. They operate like a Swiss Watch and so impressive.
Great Video! Well done. From an old retired Navy Corpsman.
I was a Navy nurse on USS Repose during Vietnam war. If i remember 1966, 67. 18 y/o Marines with legs blown off, land mines. We never should have been there.
I was a Jet Mech with VA-146 out of NAS Lemoore and served aboard the USS Constellation in the 1970s. Shipboard life is a whole different experience.
Im is so proud of your bravery. 😇 🙏 Thank you for your service Sir.
My dad was a chief on an aircraft carrier..loved being a navy brat..i visited often the ship it was awesome
I served 20 years in the navy. I was in CV 59 USS Forrestal , CV 61 USS Ranger, CVN 70 USS Carl Vinson. I’m glad I stayed in for 20 years, my benefits alone helped me a lot especially now that I’m retired. No problem whatsoever on health and life insurance.
My son and I had the pleasure of touring the Carl Vinson with one of the crew when it called into Hobart, Tasmania on its way home to the States from one of its deployments, it was an awesome experience as my son who was about 8 or 9 at the time got to sit in the Captains chair, he just thought it was great! of course this was before 2001 but I will never forget the experience. Thank you to all who serve whether you are Australian or American.
My son was on the Carl Vinson, on the flight deck. I thought he had a safe job hahaha surprise 🙄
@@navyboymommygramma I hope your son returned home safe and well to you 😊
@@peterb445 Thank you. He did but unfortunately ,for him, he was in a accidentvthat ended up getting him a medical discharge. I was thrilled, he wasn't quite so happy as he was planning on making a career of the service. He got two tours, that's enough 😁
My brother was an ET on the Forrestal in '67
I am the proud father of a submariner, recently promoted to petty officer first class. He is going to college (remotely) while working and will apply to become an officer once he gets his diploma. Tough guys, these submariners.
These men and wommmmmmmmen work like a well oiled machine, so that no one is hurt or killed. Thank you for your service.

I was in the army.but I'm proud of the NAVY. I HAD A FRIEND ON THE KITTY HAWK. I LOVE AIR CRAFT MOST OF ALL. I LOVE TO WATCH THEM CATAPULT OFF THE DECK OF A CARRIER. WE ARE THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD.
This Nam vet agrees
Outstanding video and a huge hats off to all US Navy personnel who protect the freedom we cherish so much. As the late President Ronald Reagan once said: "We will always be prepared so we may always be free."
For profit health care is proof the whole thing is a fraud
The United States military has done nothing but lie and fight illegal wars for my whole life Sick and tired of being lied to and war
All Americans are war crimanls Ever dam one you
As Jim Jefferies would say, you can't expect an Australian to understand freedom :) Jokes aside though, we in Europe are grateful for your operations around the world.
@dhlml I'm not Australian. And further more Australians and New Zealanders would understand way more about freedom than a Dhead like you pal.

The U.S. Navy Is Awesome!!
I like ike. I served on the Eisenhower for 2.5 years 1988-1990. I was a Dk2 serving in the pay roll office auditing documents and payroll records for errors and out of balance accounts of service men on board. I handled officer accounts. When I was discharged from the Navy I had the distinct honor of holding the record of fewest out of balance accounts on any Naval ship in the entire US Navy. I really enjoyed my time onboard this beautilfull ship.I established an error rate of .00001. As far as I know, this record still stands. My Captain was CO7 (Commodor) JJ Dantone. He was awesome. Apparently, the Eisenhower was used to create this video, or, at least most of it.
Imagine in a million years were we are (hopefully) alive and space faring. The operations on space carriers would be super different
May GOD bless our Navy carrier groups from any threat.🙏
May GOD bless our whole NAVY.
Thanks for your service. God bless you all.
My deepest appreciation for our brave service persons.
Hello from Melbourne Australia. The US Navy was the best in the world.
Impressive!! We salute all the people who work in an Aircraft Carrier!! All the people whose with the US Navy Aircraft Carrier!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love America from an Iranian
Thank you very much sir ma'am.. salute from the philippines 🇵🇭 ... very nice video... of an air craft carrier... very. nformative... long lived USA... I'm from cebu philippines 🇵🇭... more power to you all.... bravo3 muchos grasyas adios....
Thanks for your support of the US Navy. I’m US Navy Dad originally from Cebu City. My son is a fighter pilot flying the F18 Super Hornet. As far as I know, he’s the only ethnic Filipino serving as a fighter pilot in the US Navy. I’m very proud of him.
Thanks for your generous comments. I was in Subic bay to get ammunitions for our ship. A big mistake when the government shut down that base & so many jobs were losses. I’ll always have a lot of respect for the Philippines.
The most powerful navy in the world. Speechlees❤❤❤
Truly amazing to watch thanks for posting.
The B-roll footage from the decks of the ship was so clear and vivid. Beautiful job, thanks.
Don't forget about beer day! After 45 days without a port, you are allotted 2 beers!!!
What an Organized Group Of People. God bless you all.
“ Freedom is not free. “
I love my shipmates and thank you for maintaining our freedom.

I luv aircraft carriers ❤
The opportunity to learn from others and self improvement is unmatched
I was stationed on the USS America, CV-66, 1976-1979. From your video, life on a carrier is a lot better. We didn’t have ship stores, the food at times was terrible and we never had a swim call. As a Quartermaster, I worked on the bridge so we had a great view of what was going on. At times we would hit storms where some waves came on the flight deck. I felt bad for the other smaller ships because in a bad storm, I saw a destroyer come out of the water and then go under the waves. Saw the power of what water can do to a ship. As a master helmsman, I would be assigned to the helm during replenishment at sea. I learned how ships can collide at sea. Now my ship is anchored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. She was a great ship!!!!!
A lot of this is embellished for the cameras. I was on the Reagan in '08 and they most certainlly did not have chefs hand carving meat for the crew. The ship's store is just about the size of a gas station store to buy sodas, snacks, and cigarettes.
What happened to the ship?
After they decommissioned her, the Navy decided to take her out and see how good her armor is against modern weapons. After all was done to her, the ship’s armor held up and they couldn’t sink her. At the end, they just pulled the plug and now she is an artificial reef. RIP to a great and wonderful ship.
@@daleinarizona1561 Thank you sir
Anytime for you!!!!
Thank you for your services and dedications to protect our freedoms and liberties.
I was on flight deck of the Uss.Lexington Cvt 16.I worked with the arresting gear. Very dangerous
Wow. How did you experience it? What is your most memorable experience? Nice if you would share this! Thank you for your service!
You were deck Police officer arresting peoples gear ⚙️.
I flew Air Force . . . could never tolerate being at sea, multiple months at a time. 🇺🇲
Just. Wow.
I was in the Navy for 5 years as an aircrewman on P-3C Orion's which are land based only so I've never been on a ship. One of my bosses retired after 30 years and never stepped foot on a ship. He just kept rotating betwween P-3C squadrons which are considered sea duty because we go on 6 month deployments and shore duty - he was an AOCM (NAC).
Great 👍 video To all the Women and Men of the US Navy thank you for your service 🙏 🇺🇸 I served in the US Navy from 1989-1993.
I served on the USS Hancock CVA 19 during the Viet Nam War 1964/1967 as a machinery repairman in the machine shop it looks like life aboard ship has changed a little to the better.
I work on a Space Force Base now for a defense contractor. I have much respect for these people and say this: They put their lives on the line for us so give them what they desire.
I served aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 from 86 to 90. I missed being a Plank Owner (a tradition when you are ships company when commissioned) by one month. We did a Caribbean cruise, a North Sea cruise and a Med cruise during my time aboard. We made countless one or two week cruises at the beginning for shake down. When a new ship is built, there's a number of sea trials and planned events that are called acceptance trials. So the first year was spent in and out of Newport News ship yard and Norfolk Naval base. The best thing I remember was how good the chow was. All the bread and pastries were baked fresh daily. I remember that when a tray of bread came out of the oven, the Mess Specialist would ring a small ship bell and that was the cue. A large hunk of 10 minute old sourdough and half a stick of butter...magic. The best way to keep a sailor happy is thru their stomach. And they did that well. I got out just as Desert Storm was brewing up.
Sail on Sailor.
@@dalehood1846 Same to you. Fair winds and following seas.
God Bless America
Proud to know one ship I served on is now a Museum in San Diego, I just wish I could see it one last time before I check out.
USS Midway: I have, You also can from a cruse ship at the dock nest door. Thomas.
Dark Road One. Went to Machinery Repairman "A" school in San Diego. Loved it, wish I would have been stationed in the west coast, went to Norfolk VA.
@@dalehood1846 WESTPAC to me was always better, I did not like east coast commands, even Florida.
Thank you all for helping keep the world in peace. Bless and protect you all. 🙏🙏🙏♥️
Great video God bless our Heros!!!!!
In 1953, the FDR carrier came to Beirut Lebanon. My Uncle Mike was crew on that magnificent ship. As a young student, along with my folks we got to take a cruise for a day and watch what went on aboard, and it was fascinating. Not the same as it is today, but nonetheless impressive. We watched old prop powered war planes launched and recovered, and got to eat with the crew and tour most of the ship. One of the hi-lights of the day was an exhibition Basketball match between the Ship's Navy Team and the world renowned Harlem Globetrotters. That was a day in my life I will never forget.
hi
I was a Navy college instructor 7 times, they are great. My son has one more year from retirement going to Germany for 1 more year. NROTC is the way to go.
I served on the USS Bon Homme Richard CVA31 and USS Constellation CV64, Both served in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Viet Nam War. I experienced swim call out at sea! I Never seen the ocean so calm like glass!
Hello Angel how are you doing today?
wow you must have really have the time of your life in the USS...can you tell more about the calm ocean cause have never had such experience before tho🤣🤣🤣🤣
how well organized and well oiled our Navy is, fantastic.

Was also on the uss kitty hawk. I was part of the decom crew
Having seen a couple of videos like this, I'm amazed at how life on a carrier is like. You definitely wouldn't expect to see such things on there as laundry rooms, kitchens.. . Just awesome.
What a great video. Very informative. Thanks to all the sailors in the US Navy for your courageous service. 🇺🇸
Hello Rosemarie how are you doing today?
the US Navy's have been doing the most lately i appreciate all their efforts
