"I promise I will never, ever complain about cooking... again."
oh how that aged like fine wine
The Nuclear Fishcake, that is one of the most pointless statements. If you consider everything you’ve ever said over the years, you’ll find dozens (if not hundreds) of things that “aged well”. But, you probably don’t have wits to get it.
@@vladimirk9584 who hurt you ?
@@coloelcookie f off
@@vladimirk9584 how, how can you just not laugh at a joke and have to write a essay. How sad is your life 😂
@@isaacpugno3388 it might be sad, but at least it ain’t dumb.
This man is a national treasure, we should appreciate him while we still can
Despite his constant trash talking of us Americans
@@EnterpriseXI Europeans trashing Americans goes pretty far back m8, they got quieter after 1945 but it's still there
Ehh, Viz took the measure of him years ago.
@@EnterpriseXI known as ‘banter’. He’s a professional wind up merchant. Take his words with a pinch of salt.
In my opinion he might be the person who had the best life ever, while being loved by millions.
Jezza is the reason why so many engineers become to love engineering. Many of those people made or will make great things.
14:50 Bless the editor
The zoom out of the Titanic book in the bookstore was genius as well.
@18:13 Dr. Jeremy Clarkson explaining the mechanics of an arrestor cable :D
“Aircraft character” 😂 bbc two used to be good
Thank you for uploading this - good to see a youngish Jeremy from time to time.
Just to let you know, this guy isn't the original uploader. Here's the link to the original

Jonathan Wood thank you for letting me know.
Clarkson has aged very rapidly.
It's relative. He was 90 when this was recorded.
Fortunately our navy has a labeling system , and you look at that and say, “ yes I’m lost” lol
Always cracks me up that shows about modern carriers show the oldest crash films available.
To be fair he was talking for a good while about the early history of aircraft carriers
@@cleverusername9369 Exactly.
I bet that carrier can do a heck of a lot more than 30 knots!
I’d say 40-42 knots top speed.
In 1994 my dad took the Eisenhower too Hati while in the 10th Mtn Division. In 1993 he was involved in the Battle of Mogadishu.
hendo337 your dads a brave man
@@Strawberry-12. he was significantly more accomplished in his Army career than I was, we're both retired, I did communications for Military Police. He was light Infantry, Ranger, Airborne, Air Assault, CIB with 2 stars.
I was ship's company on the Eisenhower from 93 to 95. I actually was temp active duty cleaning up the living space in the area I slept in and we had some Army soldiers in the area that was my responsibility to clean up around. Always wondered why they smelled because we had showers on board. But I figured they just didn't have time or were too used to being outside all the time and drilling :)
Wow, one of the few times Jeremy never really insulted the United States.
Who gives a fcuk what Clarkson says... As to insulting, the man is a clown not to be taken seriously...
@@barracuda7018 he is the God of Clowns. He's an OG
@@barracuda7018 shush
American here, I frankly love it when Clarkson insults us. Been a fan of Top Gear and all of his various endeavors over the years, he strikes me as an equal opportunity hater. The only difference is, with America, one can tell that we live rent free in his very British mind.
@@cleverusername9369 He’s like an ex girlfriend who constantly talks shit on you, but you’re all she thinks about.
never knew it was an "aircraft character"
lol
aww look at the planes with their wittle wings all folded up :>
When the BBC still had talent and wasn't anti British politically correct.
Yawn
Clarkson is most British least politically correct person short of Boris.
And this was in peacetime prior to 9/11
“Peacetime” the US and Coalition were bombing the fuck out of Yugoslavia and Yugoslavia was committing a genocide too.
Love Clarkson but they did forget a few aircraft (granted the less well-known) ie Vikings - Shadows, Prowlers, Hawkeyes and Seahawks with the workhorse the Greyhounds as he flew in on. Still very cool.

That was from before they drove into a brick Wall in Top Gear.
If not quite at 150mph
Seen a few old Clarkson docus but didn't know this one. He also seemed to have remarkable access.
Just heard that this was filmed in 98. Makes sense that he'd have so much more access, pre-9/11.
28:22 Oh my spleen! My spleeeeeeeen! That made me laugh harder than i've ever laughed in a good long time.
They didn't really emphasize this, but when you land on a carrier you land at full power just in case you miss the cable. That cable stops you very quickly at full takeoff speed and power, which is why the landing is such a jolt.
The pilots did later on
Traps do NOT land at full power. Crews select full power AFTER touchdown in order to configure the aircraft for a bolter or a broken wire.
Jeremy when he realized that the ronald regan Is the scariest one
Tomcats! And VF-103 Jolly Rogers!
Awesome
Jeremy back before his head swelling got out of hand.
And he was paid for this, for decades he did the dream job of messing around with fast, unique and regular cars, trucks on tracks, roads and other countries.
And that’s before you talk about all the other standalone projects they filmed.
Really interesting
Muh Sppppllleeeeeen!
Speeeed❤
I worked on C-2's as the one Jeremy flew in on. Knew people at VRC-40 - at the time of this filming. Also, the top speed of 30 kias is not accurate, although I am sure that is what he is told. The Truman and especially the Enterprise could do 50 kias. I was there and saw it.
Was the Enterprise on 'Warp Speed'?
Plane: *takes off*
Clarkson: Pooowwwweeeerrrrr!!!!
16:27 A few years later... USS Ronald Reagan CVN-76 finally exists
What happens to a plane if it goes over (in the drink)? Do they try to retrieve it before it sinks or is it just an 'operational loss'?
Unless it's a broken arrow...it's gone and they won't look for it, if it contains the remains of a service member they may look for it with non operational resources. The mission comes first.
That is what the plane guard helicopter is for, picking pilots out of the drink. On landing you will not usually just go over unless you pull back on the throttle, you will just bolter and go back into the pattern.
I suspect any secret tech might be rescued ...say like a new VTOL or stealth and definitely nukes .
@@georgeelmerdenbrough6906 Not exactly as there was a case of an A-4 Skyhawk falling overboard and they never recovered the pilot, plane or the nuclear weapon.
@@georgeelmerdenbrough6906 Wouldn't a VTOL land differently? I mean it's in the name, isn't it?
Why does the commander of the battle group need to look at his notes to name the ships
And count how many he has? Seems like a very amateur thing to do.
I think he knew the names but he was being furtive and not divulging the name of every ship under his command. Wouldn't be a great idea to list every vessel in a battle group on TV
6:08 why is he so nervous and unease
Concentrating on all that stuff he isn´t allowed to tell anyone....
28:24 My Spleeeeeeen
10:24 I'm dying
Ur welcome for this video 😉 glad to see it’s done so well for views 👌
Oh wait, are you the guy who put in all the effort to upload this originally, only for it to be shamelessly and thanklessly ripped from your channel?
By the way Jeremy. It wasn't the Bismark of Japan. It's German.
Rear admiral has to count the ships in his 10 ship battle group........OK ....sure this isn't Admiral Benson from Hot Shots? 🤣
Why do we not make docs about British aircraft curriers common Jc

10:26 good bars for a mumble rapper
Repetitive and sudden deceleration has to have long term effects . And the noise has to as well .
Might be similar to CTE in football, that’s caused by impacts to the brain. Even little ones
I have a coworker who was a former pilot on a carrier. He along with most his colleagues have lower back and spine issues from thousands of landings over their careers. Hearing loss is the norm in all branches of the military but I have not heard of pilots with cte or brain issues because of flying.
What QSERF has been spending their money on.
Call it the controlled crash.
30 knots
Aircraft Character?
"an aircraft character?" What's that he's saying?
Ah, the americans. He called nuclear fuel rods "gas" xD
Shorthand for fuel
30k a year? I know this was quite a while ago but that sounds minuscule compared to the workload. Footballers get paid multiple times that and don’t do anything near.
Military pay is commonly increased taking inflation into account at regular intervals. I would imagine plugging $30,000 usd into the bls inflation calculator would be an accurate portrayal of the current military pay scale.
Welcome to the simulation. Ha ha
You have to remember this video is from 1998, $30k a year back then with food, lodging, uniforms, medical care, 30 days vacation a year and a retirement package wasn't bad back then.
A private in the marines only makes $21k in 2020 so I am not surprised he was making $30k in the 90s.
@@Timg1231 Read the comment above!! The benefit package is what matters. Food, lodging, healthcare, 30 days vacation a year, mortgage support after a while ...etc. a private is a level entry job and $21k plus the benefit package makes a minimum $40k.
Why does America need as many aircraft carriers as it has?
It's cool asf, also ww2 tought us aircraft carriers carry huge power
@@blackopscw7913 You need to give other countries a chance to build and own air craft carriers instead of America having the most.
@@matthewkent5212 Lmao why?
@@blackopscw7913 Because it makes America too powerful and hogs everything from everyone else.
2 million usd worth of food for 45 to 50 days 😂 that guy talking shite
I'll say Clarkson and Richard and James May are boring by themselves but combined they are the most funny comedic trio that has ever existed
I'm waiting for the USS Donald Trump.
Hahahahahah
That would be awesome. But it would mean a carrier would have to be named OBAMA lmao
A) It would sink immediately
B) he had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Navy so there'd never be an aircraft carrier named after him.
C) the Navy wouldn't name a ship after a treasonous one-term twice impeached criminally indicted historically unpopular ex-president who actively disrespected and insulted war heroes, veterans, and active duty servicemembers.
Its nuclear powered just so everyone knows lol
One of the few shows to be honest on the sucky side
Trust me there are places you can run off too with a female on ships. Happens all the time
@Roger partner 😂😂 Take it when you can I suppose
fan rooms for one. Plenty of those around. I was stationed on the Ike and I think they were already on board when I came there in late 93.
Oh ma gaaard. I'm just waiting for the USS Trump to appear.
I'm thinking about a giant hot air baloon.
