What I think is really cool is that the name “America” comes from Amerigo Vespucci’s name, who was an Italian explorer who drew up one of the earliest maps of the Americas and suggested that it was a separate continent.
It's still, to this day, super weird that he went with America and not something like Vespuccia. I guess he figured "I drew the map, not my brother, not my dad, not my great great great grandson, ME, Amerigo. The credit is MINE."
I like the idea of training naval officers on sailing vessels before advancing them up to warships. There is an inherent understanding that all naval officers should face before ever stepping up to command

I cannot explain the joy this brings me. Something about a big, menacing looking aircraft carrier telling another ship, a much smaller one, that it is the most beautiful ship in the world is so beautiful to me.
And the little one is named for the man which America is also named after, who first realized the Americas were continents. That big strong carrier wouldn't exist without the little one's namesake being as skillful as he was.
It's got the vibe of some delta force operator meeting some chick in a strawberry dress while he's in full tactical gear and he can't help but fall in love

The fifth USS Independence (CV/CVA-62) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy. She was the fourth and final member of the Forrestal class of conventionally powered supercarriers. She entered service in 1959, with much of her early years spent in the Mediterranean Fleet. Independence was decommissioned in 1998 after 39 years of active service. Stored in recent years at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington, the ex-Independence was towed beginning on 10 March 2017 to Brownsville, Texas for scrapping. She arrived on 1 June 2017 and dismantling was completed by early 2019.

"Did we hurt them, captain?" asked Solathen. "Did this mean anything?" Tarvitz thought for a moment before replying. "Yes," he said, "we hurt them here. They’ll remember this.”
My grandpa was an Amrigo Vespucci Marshal at the time. He always used to tell me stories about his travelling on the ship, but he had never told me about this encounter; sadly he passed away from lung cancer in 2017, caused by the material used in the Vespucci (asbestos)
My sailboat made from cardboard sailed the high waves of a random pond near my house since 20/8/2008 until it sank in 20/8/2008 after i forgot it outside and the wind caused it to flip over. I will never forget you boaty.
At first I thought the post implied that they were refering to the Actual italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci and that it was some kind of surrealist joke but no, a sailing ship and an aircraft carrier did actually stumble into each other in real life
This shit feels like a cutscene from Disco Elysium or something I dunno why the snowfall music and the soothing voice mixed with the two ships talking together comes together so beautifully
Inland Empire: the Occidental warship, carrying enough fuel to burn entire forests and enough firepower to pulverize entire cities, speaks. In a melancholic and awe-struck voice. "You're the most beautiful ship in the world."
i was thinking that too! the way the two ships talk to each other is very similar to the style of disco elysium. spoilers reminds me of the phasmid interaction… so beautiful in every way.
It truly is the most beautiful ship in the world. It came to our city docks in last year and stayed 4 days for touring. I went on the last day, thinking there'd be fewer people. How wrong i was. The line was astronomical, and it was only open for a couple more hours and the sun was setting, so i just gave up. On my way to leave i asked a gentleman and his kid on their way out when they had arrived. He said he got there at 7AM. I never got to see the ship, and on the next day the captain died on a tragic accident, hit by a car, or so i heard. Our military flew his body back to Italy. He was very young, late 20's or early 30's. I'm sure he was happy and glad to have served on the Vespucci. RIP
I genuinely cried watching this. I don't even know why but there's something so poetic about a large mammoth of a ship coming across a much smaller vessel and admiring it's beauty.
No seaman on even the most sleek, capable and modern ships of the world's fleets fail to be in awe of the ships of the Age of Sail and the skill, effort and bravery of the men who put to sea in them. I was in Mystic, Connecticut to see the whaler docked there. This tiny boat, perhaps not even as long as its prey, went on voyages THAT LASTED YEARS before it returned to port, an eventuality that was far from guaranteed. There simply are no words to describe the feeling you get onboard, just wood, nails and tar beneath your feet, imagining being on the high seas with miles of water beneath that. BZ, Amerigo Vespucci.
Something something youth in his late teens telling a woman of 50-something she's gorgeous. And in 2022, another kid in their mid-20s calling that same woman she's *still* gorgeous.
And wait till you hear about the Amerigo Vespucci's long lost sister, the Cristoforo Colombo. It was the Amerigo Vespucci twin sister, named after Cristoforo Colombo, better known as the guy that discovered America. After WW2 the soviets demanded it to be given for war reparations, where they painted its hull a dull grey, stripped her of her masts and used it as a barge for hauling timber until it ran aground sometime around the 70s, when they casually just set it on fire. It's in my heart and soul to become rich just to have the Cristoforo Colombo rebuilt, so that I can burn the russian flag hoisted on its main mast before gifting it to the italian navy
Like Eli from BRCC said "There is nothing more awesome and adorable than seeing someone who got to do what they love for work, because they're just the happiest they can be"
The irony of this is... USS independence was decomissioned in 1998, after 39 years of service. Amerigo Vespucci is still around today, after almost 90 years of service.
My late father served on the Amerigo Vespucci as a Navy cadet for quite a while! He told me that he was a bit scared of the heights but he was really proud of this ship and his achievements. I wish I could see my father again on this ship....
This is perhaps the most heart touching video I’ve seen you produce, perhaps it would be good for all of to realize that we are all “the most beautiful ship in the world”. Our histories are all so unique and amazing despite what we may think about ourselves.
One ship was built for utter destruction of the enemy, to be able to deploy an army across the seas. A single one being able to control entire regions of the world, possessing the capability to control and occupy entire nations. The other was built to sail the calming waves, effortlessly.
aw.. The interaction is so sweet.... I Cry :( Now for the angst that comes with any love story: the USS Independence was decommissioned on 30 September 1998 and by 2008 the ship was set for Deconstruction, It was fully dismantled by 2019.
They did recreate this moment along time ago with the USS George W. Bush which I read uses some old parts of the independence. My memory is really bad. 😅
The Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci was a contemporary of Christopher Columbus known for having such a good sense of direction that he had an entire continent named after him. That does kind add an extra wrinkle to USS Independence complimenting this ship.
There is something indescribably beautiful and melancholic about this story. A collision of the past with modernity, exploration with warfare, natural elegance with artificial brutalism, a creation from a world mapped to the edges and dissected a million times over with a creation with a creation from a world of infinite possibility that had yet to have been completely defiled by science. An acknowledgement of the air craft carrier’s short comings of aesthetic and sentimentality and its reverence for the old and outdated uncle from a better time.
I have a friend on that ship who has been on board for about a year, he did a variety of exciting activities, from traveling the world to training and performing chores. Now, he has one more year at the academy and will soon be joining the Navy. It is in fact the most beautiful ship in the world, i've seen it several times when it was docked here in italy.
You mean they only got ahead of Europeans in the later stage of the war? And it's pretty easy to do it when your country isn't getting fucked in the arse 10 times over
I found this really beautifull. I dont know why, but this video just makes me feel so at peace and comfortable or something like that. I really really enjoyed this moment, watching this video.

At first I thought the post implied that they were refering to the Actual italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci and that it was some kind of surrealist joke but no, a sailing ship and an aircraft carrier did actually stumble into each other in real life
Give the vibes of " Your as beautiful as the day I lost you"
This shit feels like a cutscene from Disco Elysium or something I dunno why the snowfall music and the soothing voice mixed with the two ships talking together comes together so beautifully
Inland Empire: the Occidental warship, carrying enough fuel to burn entire forests and enough firepower to pulverize entire cities, speaks.
In a melancholic and awe-struck voice.
"You're the most beautiful ship in the world."
Authority: Look AT the size of that ship. It DEMANDS respect, and deserves YOU as a captain
i was thinking that too! the way the two ships talk to each other is very similar to the style of disco elysium.
spoilers
reminds me of the phasmid interaction… so beautiful in every way.
Never thought this’d be the day I read about two ships flirting, but I’m not feeling any reason to complain.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
It truly is the most beautiful ship in the world. It came to our city docks in last year and stayed 4 days for touring. I went on the last day, thinking there'd be fewer people. How wrong i was. The line was astronomical, and it was only open for a couple more hours and the sun was setting, so i just gave up. On my way to leave i asked a gentleman and his kid on their way out when they had arrived. He said he got there at 7AM. I never got to see the ship, and on the next day the captain died on a tragic accident, hit by a car, or so i heard. Our military flew his body back to Italy. He was very young, late 20's or early 30's. I'm sure he was happy and glad to have served on the Vespucci. RIP
Alternative title: USS Independence confesses to its crush
0:29 me whenever i see my partner:
Your partner is a ship?
@@JohnHenryEden2277 My enclave loving brother in christ, it is pretty obvious that I call her a ship, not that she IS a ship
This does put a smile on my face.
Damn, the USS Independence has serious game.
Had. She was scrapped in the late 2010s.
@@florjanbrudar692dismantling finished in 2019. Saddening.
just looked up the ship, the aircraft carrier knew what it was talking about
"damn DDG-38, look at that chick's stern"
Transformers flirting is so cute
Even an aircraft carrier has better rizz than me
I never knew shipping ships could be so romantic!
I genuinely cried watching this. I don't even know why but there's something so poetic about a large mammoth of a ship coming across a much smaller vessel and admiring it's beauty.
Never in my life did I think I would witness one ship flirting to another ship whilst being wing manned by a bunch of humans.
"Honey would you still love me of I was a ship"
No seaman on even the most sleek, capable and modern ships of the world's fleets fail to be in awe of the ships of the Age of Sail and the skill, effort and bravery of the men who put to sea in them.
I was in Mystic, Connecticut to see the whaler docked there. This tiny boat, perhaps not even as long as its prey, went on voyages THAT LASTED YEARS before it returned to port, an eventuality that was far from guaranteed. There simply are no words to describe the feeling you get onboard, just wood, nails and tar beneath your feet, imagining being on the high seas with miles of water beneath that.
BZ, Amerigo Vespucci.
And a year later, the two ships had a set of beautiful dinghies
And them they had BABIES and the Imperial Destroyers where born.
This might just be the most beautiful video I've ever seen. One of the few that has had me crying.
When you're behind 2 ages of Science in Civ VI.
Something something youth in his late teens telling a woman of 50-something she's gorgeous.
And in 2022, another kid in their mid-20s calling that same woman she's *still* gorgeous.
It's enough to make a grown man cry...
And wait till you hear about the Amerigo Vespucci's long lost sister, the Cristoforo Colombo. It was the Amerigo Vespucci twin sister, named after Cristoforo Colombo, better known as the guy that discovered America. After WW2 the soviets demanded it to be given for war reparations, where they painted its hull a dull grey, stripped her of her masts and used it as a barge for hauling timber until it ran aground sometime around the 70s, when they casually just set it on fire.
It's in my heart and soul to become rich just to have the Cristoforo Colombo rebuilt, so that I can burn the russian flag hoisted on its main mast before gifting it to the italian navy
Damn Soviets...
Same , from Italy , the story of Cristoforo Colombo made me hate the soviets more , they did the same thing to the Giulio Cesare
This is like the eighth cutest meet cute interaction I've heard and it's literally between ships.
A ship named after Vespucci hailed as beautiful by a ship from a country named after Vespucci. Really doesn’t get more poetic.
Amerigo Vespucci ....The man America was named after
And the most beautiful ship in the world.
They aren't wrong, that is an incredibly gorgeous ship.
It's poetic since Amerigo Vespucci is the man that America is named after.
Can't wait for the sequel 60 years from this.
Like Eli from BRCC said "There is nothing more awesome and adorable than seeing someone who got to do what they love for work, because they're just the happiest they can be"
here before it blows up, pleasure hearing this over and over.. so smooth
The irony of this is...
USS independence was decomissioned in 1998, after 39 years of service.
Amerigo Vespucci is still around today, after almost 90 years of service.
But we still have the USS Constitution, the second oldest commissioned warship on Earth.
A bit sad too.
My late father served on the Amerigo Vespucci as a
Navy cadet for quite a while! He told me that he was a bit scared of the heights but he was really proud of this ship and his achievements. I wish I could see my father again on this ship....
This melted my heart for some reason 😭😭
This is perhaps the most heart touching video I’ve seen you produce, perhaps it would be good for all of to realize that we are all “the most beautiful ship in the world”. Our histories are all so unique and amazing despite what we may think about ourselves.
“Sorry I’m already in a relationship” - Amerigo Vespucci
"Thats how i met your father"
Awwww this is wholesome but also DAMN DID THAT US SHIP JUST RIZZED THE ITALIAM SHIP
Enough to make a man cry
this makes me so happy and i dont know why
One ship was built for utter destruction of the enemy, to be able to deploy an army across the seas. A single one being able to control entire regions of the world, possessing the capability to control and occupy entire nations.
The other was built to sail the calming waves, effortlessly.
This has a better romance story than any movie or Series
For a moment I wondered if they said "no homo" afterwards but then remembered it was the Navy.
I can't disagree, some of those old maritime vessels are very beautifully designed, elegant and awe-inspiring.
Maybe the real most beautiful ship was the friends we made along the way
aw.. The interaction is so sweet.... I Cry :(
Now for the angst that comes with any love story: the USS Independence was decommissioned on 30 September 1998 and by 2008 the ship was set for Deconstruction, It was fully dismantled by 2019.
They did recreate this moment along time ago with the USS George W. Bush which I read uses some old parts of the independence. My memory is really bad. 😅
Bro took "rizz" to a whole new level
The Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci was a contemporary of Christopher Columbus known for having such a good sense of direction that he had an entire continent named after him.
That does kind add an extra wrinkle to USS Independence complimenting this ship.
Anyways this is beautiful WTF
They married. ❤
I fucking love this story
There is something indescribably beautiful and melancholic about this story. A collision of the past with modernity, exploration with warfare, natural elegance with artificial brutalism, a creation from a world mapped to the edges and dissected a million times over with a creation with a creation from a world of infinite possibility that had yet to have been completely defiled by science. An acknowledgement of the air craft carrier’s short comings of aesthetic and sentimentality and its reverence for the old and outdated uncle from a better time.
I have a friend on that ship who has been on board for about a year, he did a variety of exciting activities, from traveling the world to training and performing chores. Now, he has one more year at the academy and will soon be joining the Navy. It is in fact the most beautiful ship in the world, i've seen it several times when it was docked here in italy.
The gentle giant flatters
How does an aircraft carrier have better rizz than me.
Wow, i knew the Americans got ahead of the Europeans in shipbuilding during the war, I didn’t know the euros were THIS far behind lmao
You mean they only got ahead of Europeans in the later stage of the war? And it's pretty easy to do it when your country isn't getting fucked in the arse 10 times over
Vespucci was built as a training ship. She was NOT seeing combat 🤣
Now I want to see the Amerigo Vespucci and the USS Constitution sailing together. I think that would be very nice.
I expected this to be a time travel horror short,but this is just heartwarming.
CV 62 had that boat rizz
I found this really beautifull. I dont know why, but this video just makes me feel so at peace and comfortable or something like that. I really really enjoyed this moment, watching this video.
Why am I getting emotional over sea vessels
the voice and the music creates such an ambiance that fills me with the purest form of love
