I retired from the Navy back about 5 years ago with 33 years of as a Master Chief Petty officer in charge of onboard at least 5 onboard galleys that served hungry sailors and Marines from breakfast to the mid-rats meal at midnight. 15000 per day with and snacks between meals, I was proud of the contribution I made to my fellow Sailors. It was a fun time.
I had the honor and privilege to serve in the US Navy from Jan 1985- Dec 1988. I was assigned to EA-6B Squadron VAQ-134 (Go GARUDAS) at NAS Whidbey Island, WA. We deployed on board the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), a mighty aircraft carrier/warship. I have only positive memories of my time in the military, especially my time aboard the mighty Carl Vinson....what an incredible experience!!! My family and I are indebted to and grateful for all of our nation's sons and daughters who serve in our nation's world-class Navy. We pray for your safety and are thankful for your sacrifices in the protection of our United States of America, and her interests. THANK YOU ALL for your service!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Three carriers I served on,😮, USS Enterprise, Midway and Independence🤩, my old school trio :) but I loved every minute of my 20 year career from May 1984 to July 2004🤩. All I have is my most fondest memories of my shipmates/extended family. A million thanks for your dedication, friendship, and to those who serve now and in the future, I am extremely proud of you 🤩have fun, lots of blessings😇

I plan to enlist in the Navy very soon as an AD - Aviation Machinists Mate.. I’ve heard that they have both sea and shore duties but i really want to maximize the best I can get out of my contract/ rate given that it is an aviation rate at that but... in other words: I know it’s probably left best to my dream sheet but are there other ways I can maximize my chances of landing a spot on an Aircraft Carrier?? I really want to be on one of those floating cities, so many moving parts, so many intricacies and logistics, i like that and i really want to be a part of it all. Any help, advice, or response will be highly appreciated! Thanks if you’ve read this far.. -jake
2004 I was a security guard for the destroyer Saratoga, when it sailed into the port of Bar, then the country of the SRJ. Man, it was a five-star hotel, but a hotel armed to the teeth. America has awesome ships
I had the distinct honor of serving in the U.S. Navy from 1986 to 1990. My time with the F/A-18 Hornet Squadron VFA-25 (Go Fist of the Fleet!) at Naval Air Station Lemoore, CA, was unforgettable. We deployed on the USS Nimitz (CVN-68), a true symbol of naval power. Every moment spent on that aircraft carrier was filled with pride and camaraderie. I hold nothing but cherished memories from my service, and I am immensely grateful to all who wear the uniform and dedicate themselves to protecting our great nation. My family and I pray for your well-being and deeply appreciate your sacrifices in safeguarding the freedoms we enjoy. Thank you for your service!
I served for 7 years as an MAA. I never went on a ship, so I love learning about what it was like through documentaries, LOL. I was a "sand sailor". Served in Guam, Bahrain, Afghanistan, and the Naval Academy.
For several years, I worked for a company that was subcontractors of the Navy and I've been on several ships including the destroyer USS Stethem and it really doesn't matter what ship you're on, it's incredibly easy to get lost on a ship and it's really, REALLY hot on a ship especially in the crews quarters! I've got LOTS of respect for the Sailors and Marines that live on these ships for months at a time and defend our country. It was a great honor meeting many of our servicemen and women and becoming close friends with many of them. Outside of the heat and how easy it is to get lost, I really enjoyed that job and being able to see what life is like on board the ships I got to see. They are truly amazing!
💙 I served on the USS Caron DD970 in the early 90's. You have summed up life aboard ship perfectly. You could show more about the rough seas, some people I tell really do not know what it means like to list back and forth and to have waves going completely across the bow. I was a HT/DC search and rescue swimmer.
I love our Navy and our country as embarrassed as I’ve felt in the last few years I still love The United States 🇺🇸 ❤and would never live anywhere else and feel blessed to have been born here and have so many generations of us we don’t even know when either side of my family got here but we have been in the Navy four generations and love this country and our countrymen and God Bless The U.SA. and the people who have served and are keeping our freedom and country safe ❤
its what Americans can do when politics are not involved and Americans can be Americans and serve America and not a political party....God bless America ....to hell with Politicians that divide our country. Retreat Hell
💙 I enlisted in the Army, I did consider the Navy when Battleships were still commissioned because I wanted to be on those 16" Guns. I became a 13 Bravo Cannon Crewman on the 8" 203mm M110A2 SP Howitzer which was sufficient enough for me.
I nearly joined the Royal Navy when I left school at 16 but I preferred the "man, boots, rifle" mantra and joined the British Army instead. If I had joined the Royal Navy, I'd have gone for the submarine service, its the ultimate test of a sailor.

i remember the nimitz and forrestal in Naples bay, with the Vesuvius volcano as a backdrop. with the Vesuvius volcano as a backdrop. beautiful scenery, then they took us to the ruins of Pompeii, then to Sorrento and Capri together with the Forrestal officers, I was 20 years old and since then I have never seen a similar paradise and never eaten better pizza than the one I enjoyed in Naples.
It's wonderful. Imagine living in a moving city in the middle of the ocean. That's cool. Mostly incredible is the numbers of people's living in there. That's the power of USA 🇺🇸 .
I was on the USS Camden when the Ranger collided with a merchant ship. We had just left Singapore. Our captain called General Quarters and frightened everyone. I could see the Ranger from my GQ station. She wasn't far away. It was still dark, and all her lights were on. She came alongside the next day. There was a big hole in her bow. We all had to turn around and go back to the PI.
Had a friend that was enlisted in the Navy, he said the hardest part when getting back to land, was adjusting to color. He said all he saw for months at a time was different shades of gray.
Some of the best sleep I’ve ever had was on the LHD Kearsage. My rack was on the very top 4th one up, right near the AC. I was in the Marine Corp so we didn’t have any jobs on float. We slept most of the day, played spades all freaking night. It was the best way to cross the Atlantic to the Med. Traveled the Suez Canal and didn’t get much love from our Muslim friends, through the Red Sea, up the Persian gulf, and invaded Iraq two months later. It was a great period in life. I would encourage every young person to strongly consider military service, just to simply travel and see the world. There couldn’t be a better way to start your adult life. My family and kids are receiving the benefits of it now. I mean now my two children are going to the University of Alabama. Once they graduate, their friends will have 100’s of thousands in debt. My two won’t have any.
I served in the Australian Navy and I had the privilege of being about 400 metres away from a American aircraft carrier and was able to see aircraft take off and land at sea.
My dad was in the navy in the 60s. He absolutely loved it! For all the sailors 💙. I myself am very proud of each and every one of you. Keep up the awesome work!
I was in the Norwegian Navy in my youth, and once we had a gigantic, american submarine visiting! It was like five times longer and several times wider and taller than our own, tiny subs, that only had 20 officers and two privates, haha. But they were meant for different tasks, of course, no trans- atlantic voyages or anything, just short trips in our " fjords"..:)😊
Thank you all for the service that every member of the Forces so selflessly provides to all of us, not only in the USA but all over the world. Their brave commitment to the preservation of peace and stability is very much appreciated.💙💙❤❤❤
I have much respect for the men and women that stay at sea months at a time. Incredible people. I served in the USAF in the 80s. Loved it. I never got to go on aa carrier but would love to. God bless all that serve. I feel like a war is coming
If Not America, then Who? A big thanks and much respect to all of those who serve and protect America and her interests and people. Hats off to every one of you and may you stay safe.
I absolutely love reading the comments, and experience's of many of the sailor's thank each and everyone of you for your service US NAVY OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU SERVED TO PROTECT AMERICA GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS THIS CRAZY COUNTRY!!!
Ignoring the enhancement of humans will inevitably be a key downfall when countries in conflict hold no barrier to this idea. My father served in the Navy; entering Pappy Boyington's squadron and retiring from service within the Pentagon in mid-60s. Dad was versatile, but it was the passing of his only sibling, a sister and her death at 22, who was assisting on a Navy ambulance having roll off a mountain that I believe really motivated my father’s career.
This is the most amazing piece of equipment in the world. I love to watch these videos. The way their jobs come together to keep that ship moving and keep us safe is just amazing!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ salute.
I love watching on deck footage of launches and landings when it's full on, it's like a well drilled dance. The coloured shirts and jackets they wear to show which job they do is a really clever idea. I also enjoy watching the ship to ship replenishment procedures as it is extremely complex and dangerous but they make it look like a walk in the park....
There ain't nothin like the Navy life opening a door and almost getting french kissed when ya run into someone forehead to forehead or when U R on the other side of a steel door and it totally mashes your beak, I mean nose. And like when the hangar decks up top gets swamped out and ya slide genitals first into something really solid like even your own tool box... ain't nothin like the Navy life cept when ya get to them secluded island resupply areas and ya realize the girls are all naturally the way they are not on dope and stuff and they actually have a natural chest... Its all good from there.. Stay too long with one of the natives some big Marines will be along to haul ya back to reality nightmares..
Same here. I love watching the almost ballet like work as the deck crews send our GREAT Navy pilots off and back onto the ships deck. I was US Army 1966 thru 1973 and in many ways envied Navy guys and gals having plenty of good, well prepared food, a dry rack, close at hand medical facilities and recreation nearby. BUT floating over the seas of the world scared hell out of me (I was afraid of big fish!) and since my Step Dad was retired AF I didn't want to join that branch. No,, I wasn't overly disappointed that I was Army Artillery BUT,,,,, 🙂Loved this documentary.
I salute the dedication of these men and women of the US Navy on board these ships to protect the nation and the world.... Congratulations and best wishes on your great sacrifice... Long Live the US Navy and Long Live America!!!!
I was able to do a Tiger Cruise on the Nimitz last year 2023 with my son. Was a blast seeing a ship that big move. I was stationed on a DD and FF when I was active duty in the 80's - 90's so seeing this close up was great.
I served aboard thr United States Navy Destroyer DD978 USS Stump named after Admiral Felix B. Stump from 88 - 92 God Bless America and The United States Navy 🇺🇲🇺🇲
USS FORRESTAL CV-59 82-84 Mediterranean Indian Ocean 82. Lost seven souls on that deployment. Average loss of life per six month Carrier deployment was five souls. Semper Fortis Semper Fidelis Until Valhalla Brothers
Back in my day sailors died from total bordem and dope more likely than anything else.. Or they found life in another place and never returned... I kinda envied a few of em till heard what happened to em years later
@@fancydancer2016 I did ,Thank you im ashamed of leaving anyone of our GREAT MILITARY out.. I would never leave out any of AMERICAS HEROS. I know heros dont wear jerseys with team names on it . HEROS have a flag on shoulder, The AMERICAN FLAG🇺🇲. God bless the U.S AIR FORCE and all our MEN and WOMEN that defend and make our country the best in the world!!!!!
But ur president Duottet or whatever called formal president Obama a son of a bitch, sadly Obama was so cool and gently man, if ur president say such to Trump he would've deal with ur "Pablo Escobar Philippines President "
Life on Navy ships is impressive, educational, and insane all at the same time! We received many requests to create a longer video about these three fascinating ships. So, here's the marathon! What do you think of it? Leave a blue heart to show your respect to all the men and women defending our country. Do you work on a ship, or have you worked on one? Let us know your experiences so we can enjoy them too. Let's spread these stories to make more people aware of this world and show how impressive life at sea is. Let us hear from you! 💙⬇️
Once again the US military is the perfect example of how a socialist society works effectively even if the country it defends opposes socialism. Insane paradox isn't it?
@@arturomeaux4158I was on the USS Randolph C vs 15 during the Cuban chris in the 60s. We were headed to the North Atlantic. But we we were turned around And headed. We were told there was a submarine out there to be on the lookout for it. Someone eating in pilots were coming in off of patrol and they spotted Periscope right on our fantail it was a world war II Russian submarine. That was really scary. He could have put a fish in us anytime.
Sleep deprivation and improved Sea Pay…During deployments it’s not uncommon to work 8hrs and stand 4 to 6 hrs watches. Then there are training evolutions and other duties that can make for 18 to 20 hour work days. Leaving precious little time to eat, sleep and personal hygiene. We currently have unsustainable high expectations for junior staff and we work them hard and long. After 4 years of this a large majority bail and so goes our large investment in them. Sea/shore rotations for some ratings are crazy bad. If we want to improve retention we need to ensure that the crew get at a minimum 8hrs down time every 24 hrs and pay them to stay at sea.
I'm sure nobody can get 8 hrs rest a day esp in hostile environments but 6 hrs seems reasonable guess they should have preparations for pple who can't sleep w lil ambien or seroquel that make worst in insomniac get well needed rest
On the Enterprise we had the traditional 12 and 12 watch or port and starboard watches. in port it was the 1,1,1,36 watch. Some of the crew had either 18 hour watches like the air department, or weapons had a 20 hour watch. We also had box lunches made with two sandwiches, piece of fruit,and a can of juice. One of the sandwiches was always SPAM. And up to this date I can not look at a can of spam and not think of the ship. UGH!
Well I hope you weren’t the prick on HMAS Success that elbowed me in a footy game in Jakarta in the early 2000s. That said, the ammo locker full of cold beer that the Success crew brought to the game made up for it! Glad to hear that you loved your time in the navy. Thanks for your service
British carriers, the crew are fed on a daily budget of less than 6$ per day as their food needs are run by a private company who budget costs to make a profit, typical British 😡. American carriers wow the crew are taken care of😂.
No they aren’t. The U.S. Navy does things exactly the same way. Powdered milk, instant potatoes, and food from a can that’s heated up, and rubbery soy bean burgers that make McDonald’s seem like a Michelin star restaurant. They spend loads of money on the ships and almost nothing for things related to quality of life for the crew. I spent several years babysitting murderers at a prison and they ate better than we did in the Navy.
Things are cheap because they buy provisions in MAHOOSIVE bulk orders. It's the same in any military around the world........ they're not going to get Marco Pierre White onboard using the finest ingredients on the planet, are they???
6$ a day, wow, even converted to sterling (£, British pounds) that is far more than when I was in the British 🇬🇧 military, I think it was about 69p, and yet we always had excellent quality food, at least we did when the chefs/cooks were service personnel, they were well trained and knowledgeable about food and dietary needs, but I believe that most culinary activities are now contracted out and, as you rightly said, they are not a good option, they are about money and not the service and standards that service personnel should be given, let’s face it if all the contract catering companies provide is “junk” foods it would not take long for the health and fitness levels of personnel to suffer and that would obviously impact on their ability to perform their duties properly.
Your talking out your ass. I'm ex Royal Navy and yes the shops on board make a profit but the profit is put back into welfare on board and ashore. Also we are allowed to drink alcohol on board, as we are treated like adults and not school children.
I have had the privilege of watching the restoration of a destroyer in Galveston TX. Such an honor to see that project. We also have a park (Sea Wolf Park) with an old destroyer and sub.
I am Coast Guard and my first unit out of basic training was a 170 foot buoy tender stationed out of Sitka, AK which I was on for 18 months and we had sleeping quarters just like these sailors have. each "stacked" bunk from the mattress to the bunk above it is give or take 3 feet. there was not much room to get real comfortable. we were at sail for about a couple of weeks at a time with the longest being over a month when we sailed from Alaska to Hawaii for training. it's tough to get a decent night's sleep when there is always people walking around, whispers, people snoring, toilets flushing, etc. when we were back at Sitka, and I was off for a few days, I always got a hotel room in Sitka just so I could have quiet, peace, be alone, take 30 minute showers, watch what I wanted to on TV, and have a room all to myself. It was so nice when after 18 months I got transferred to a small boat station in Northern California and I had a room all to myself.
I served on DD950, a Forest Sherman class destroyer as an ETR-3 from 1971-1973. We were home ported in Pearl Harbor and we did one WESTPAC while I was onboard. We mainly provided H and I support up and down the gun line. We also acted as a target to draw shore battery when Haiphong Harbor was being blockaded and mined.. We had a great crew and a tremendous commanding officer: Cmdr W.C. Deal. These years in service were the most important years of my young life (19) at that time. I'd do it all over again, with the same crew, in a blink of an eye. Go Navy!💙
I work at ingalls shipbuilding in pascagoula Mississippi and I built a lot of the ships you have on this program!.. currently overhaulin 1000 right now!
I'm a first class Marine Electrician at a major shipyard. Our job is to repair and upgrade this ships. Currently we are working on the USS Kearsarge...LHD-3. this is a huge contract because we're doing a complete make-over. I can hardly wait to see the final result
Life appears pretty miserable on board a limited personal space environment. But if serving 3 years in the military is the only means you have of affording a college education, then you 'bite the bullet.'

i remember the nimitz and forrestal in Naples bay, with the Vesuvius volcano as a backdrop. with the Vesuvius volcano as a backdrop. beautiful scenery, then they took us to the ruins of Pompeii, then to Sorrento and Capri together with the Forrestal officers, I was 20 years old and since then I have never seen a similar paradise and never eaten better pizza than the one I enjoyed in Naples.
It's wonderful. Imagine living in a moving city in the middle of the ocean. That's cool. Mostly incredible is the numbers of people's living in there. That's the power of USA 🇺🇸 .
Served on the Ranger Indian Ocean. 79-81. Life long memories. Proud to have served. VAW-117
I was on the USS Camden when the Ranger collided with a merchant ship. We had just left Singapore. Our captain called General Quarters and frightened everyone. I could see the Ranger from my GQ station. She wasn't far away. It was still dark, and all her lights were on. She came alongside the next day. There was a big hole in her bow. We all had to turn around and go back to the PI.

Had a friend that was enlisted in the Navy, he said the hardest part when getting back to land, was adjusting to color. He said all he saw for months at a time was different shades of gray.
Yes there R more than 50 shades of Navy Gray. None of em you want to remember either. Not fit for a basement dungeon...
Go Navy. That was interesting to see how modern Navy is. Especially the supermarket
Some of the best sleep I’ve ever had was on the LHD Kearsage. My rack was on the very top 4th one up, right near the AC. I was in the Marine Corp so we didn’t have any jobs on float. We slept most of the day, played spades all freaking night. It was the best way to cross the Atlantic to the Med. Traveled the Suez Canal and didn’t get much love from our Muslim friends, through the Red Sea, up the Persian gulf, and invaded Iraq two months later. It was a great period in life. I would encourage every young person to strongly consider military service, just to simply travel and see the world. There couldn’t be a better way to start your adult life. My family and kids are receiving the benefits of it now. I mean now my two children are going to the University of Alabama. Once they graduate, their friends will have 100’s of thousands in debt. My two won’t have any.
I served in the Australian Navy and I had the privilege of being about 400 metres away from a American aircraft carrier and was able to see aircraft take off and land at sea.
I served on the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN 71 from 91 - 94. This show did a good job showing how well ran the ships are.
What was your rate?
*91-94
I served on Roosevelt from 94 - 97.
My dad was in the navy in the 60s. He absolutely loved it! For all the sailors 💙. I myself am very proud of each and every one of you. Keep up the awesome work!
I was in the Norwegian Navy in my youth, and once we had a gigantic, american submarine visiting! It was like five times longer and several times wider and taller than our own, tiny subs, that only had 20 officers and two privates, haha. But they were meant for different tasks, of course, no trans- atlantic voyages or anything, just short trips in our " fjords"..:)😊
I was able to view one of these aircraft carriers when I was driving through Miami, Florida and it's definitely a man made marvel!
Thank you US Navy and to all brave soldiers serving anywhere in the world for keeping the peace and protecting our FREEDOM.

Thank you all for the service that every member of the Forces so selflessly provides to all of us, not only in the USA but all over the world. Their brave commitment to the preservation of peace and stability is very much appreciated.💙💙❤❤❤
You guys are the pride and joy of the universe ❤
I have much respect for the men and women that stay at sea months at a time. Incredible people. I served in the USAF in the 80s. Loved it. I never got to go on aa carrier but would love to. God bless all that serve. I feel like a war is coming
💙 Thank all the military services men and women, way God continue to watch over you all
If Not America, then Who? A big thanks and much respect to all of those who serve and protect America and her interests and people. Hats off to every one of you and may you stay safe.
Awesome video!💙
I absolutely love reading the comments, and experience's of many of the sailor's thank each and everyone of you for your service US NAVY OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU SERVED TO PROTECT AMERICA GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS THIS CRAZY COUNTRY!!!
Thank you for your service 💙
I have the utmost respect for our servicemen and the sacrifices they make to preserve our freedom!

Ignoring the enhancement of humans will inevitably be a key downfall when countries in conflict hold no barrier to this idea. My father served in the Navy; entering Pappy Boyington's squadron and retiring from service within the Pentagon in mid-60s. Dad was versatile, but it was the passing of his only sibling, a sister and her death at 22, who was assisting on a Navy ambulance having roll off a mountain that I believe really motivated my father’s career.
Proud son, nephew, cousin and brother of family in US Navy....fair winds and following seas....💙
Salutes, &hugs to all our sailors! ❤ couldn't find a blue one!

Excellent video. Go Navy! Thanks to each and everyone of you.
Served in the Army for 7 years but this looks pretty cool 😎
Tysm for ur service to our country
Im enlisted next year cant quit !!
Be wise to when it comes to picking your job
I love watching on deck footage of launches and landings when it's full on, it's like a well drilled dance. The coloured shirts and jackets they wear to show which job they do is a really clever idea.
I also enjoy watching the ship to ship replenishment procedures as it is extremely complex and dangerous but they make it look like a walk in the park....
There ain't nothin like the Navy life opening a door and almost getting french kissed when ya run into someone forehead to forehead or when U R on the other side of a steel door and it totally mashes your beak, I mean nose. And like when the hangar decks up top gets swamped out and ya slide genitals first into something really solid like even your own tool box... ain't nothin like the Navy life cept when ya get to them secluded island resupply areas and ya realize the girls are all naturally the way they are not on dope and stuff and they actually have a natural chest... Its all good from there.. Stay too long with one of the natives some big Marines will be along to haul ya back to reality nightmares..
Same here. I love watching the almost ballet like work as the deck crews send our GREAT Navy pilots off and back onto the ships deck. I was US Army 1966 thru 1973 and in many ways envied Navy guys and gals having plenty of good, well prepared food, a dry rack, close at hand medical facilities and recreation nearby. BUT floating over the seas of the world scared hell out of me (I was afraid of big fish!) and since my Step Dad was retired AF I didn't want to join that branch. No,, I wasn't overly disappointed that I was Army Artillery BUT,,,,, 🙂Loved this documentary.
I salute the dedication of these men and women of the US Navy on board these ships to protect the nation and the world.... Congratulations and best wishes on your great sacrifice... Long Live the US Navy and Long Live America!!!!

I was able to do a Tiger Cruise on the Nimitz last year 2023 with my son. Was a blast seeing a ship that big move. I was stationed on a DD and FF when I was active duty in the 80's - 90's so seeing this close up was great.
USS MIDWAY CV-41 , 79'-81' Indian Ocean cruise , best ever
Son's on the USS Carl VINSON CVN-70 , making memories, making career

USS FORRESTAL CV-59 82-84 Mediterranean Indian Ocean 82.
Lost seven souls on that deployment. Average loss of life per six month Carrier deployment was five souls.

How did they pass away? Work accidents?
Back in my day sailors died from total bordem and dope more likely than anything else.. Or they found life in another place and never returned... I kinda envied a few of em till heard what happened to em years later
Five souls by accidents, one heart attack, and one by suicide.....
Five by accident, one heart attack & one by suicide as we pulled in from deployment to home port.
We had one on the Enterprise in the late 70's. The idiot was killed by huffing refrigerant . His body was found laying next to the tanks dead.
Salute to the Men and Women of the 🇺🇲 Navy! -PH🇵🇭
God bless the USA, and our unbelievable service members . US ARMY,. US NAVY, US MARINE CORP, US COAST and US SPACE FORCE.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲!!! GO HOKIES!!
Um, you forgot the USAF. Space Force isn’t the Air Force.
@@fancydancer2016 I did ,Thank you im ashamed of leaving anyone of our GREAT MILITARY out.. I would never leave out any of AMERICAS HEROS. I know heros dont wear jerseys with team names on it . HEROS have a flag on shoulder, The AMERICAN FLAG🇺🇲. God bless the U.S AIR FORCE and all our MEN and WOMEN that defend and make our country the best in the world!!!!!

Life on Navy ships is impressive, educational, and insane all at the same time! We received many requests to create a longer video about these three fascinating ships. So, here's the marathon! What do you think of it? Leave a blue heart to show your respect to all the men and women defending our country. Do you work on a ship, or have you worked on one? Let us know your experiences so we can enjoy them too. Let's spread these stories to make more people aware of this world and show how impressive life at sea is. Let us hear from you! 💙⬇️
nice information
Once again the US military is the perfect example of how a socialist society works effectively even if the country it defends opposes socialism. Insane paradox isn't it?
Well one can say any aircraft carrier is in much better shape than Joe Bite me... It's steadier faster and makes total sense...
@@arturomeaux4158I was on the USS Randolph C vs 15 during the Cuban chris in the 60s. We were headed to the North Atlantic. But we we were turned around
And headed. We were told there was a submarine out there to be on the lookout for it. Someone eating in pilots were coming in off of patrol and they spotted Periscope right on our fantail it was a world war II Russian submarine. That was really scary. He could have put a fish in us anytime.
A lot of information about weak points of this toys.
The Floating City… Thank you for sharing.❤
Sleep deprivation and improved Sea Pay…During deployments it’s not uncommon to work 8hrs and stand 4 to 6 hrs watches. Then there are training evolutions and other duties that can make for 18 to 20 hour work days. Leaving precious little time to eat, sleep and personal hygiene. We currently have unsustainable high expectations for junior staff and we work them hard and long. After 4 years of this a large majority bail and so goes our large investment in them. Sea/shore rotations for some ratings are crazy bad. If we want to improve retention we need to ensure that the crew get at a minimum 8hrs down time every 24 hrs and pay them to stay at sea.
Truth. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Shipmate. From one Machinist to another. Life in the Hole is brutal. Thank you for your service Sir.@@JusticeAlways
I'm sure nobody can get 8 hrs rest a day esp in hostile environments but 6 hrs seems reasonable guess they should have preparations for pple who can't sleep w lil ambien or seroquel that make worst in insomniac get well needed rest
On the Enterprise we had the traditional 12 and 12 watch or port and starboard watches. in port it was the 1,1,1,36 watch. Some of the crew had either 18 hour watches like the air department, or weapons had a 20 hour watch. We also had box lunches made with two sandwiches, piece of fruit,and a can of juice. One of the sandwiches was always SPAM. And up to this date I can not look at a can of spam and not think of the ship. UGH!
I served 18 years in the Royal Australian Navy. I loved it.
Well I hope you weren’t the prick on HMAS Success that elbowed me in a footy game in Jakarta in the early 2000s. That said, the ammo locker full of cold beer that the Success crew brought to the game made up for it!
Glad to hear that you loved your time in the navy. Thanks for your service
@@MickRhodes-ml5cm no mate I never served on Success
Ayyy...this video is a re-run of mixed parts from other video releases....😡
Read the pinned comment! This is a marathon. Soon a shorter and new video! 🎉
My brother served in the Navy. I can now understand his love of it.
British carriers, the crew are fed on a daily budget of less than 6$ per day as their food needs are run by a private company who budget costs to make a profit, typical British 😡. American carriers wow the crew are taken care of😂.
No they aren’t. The U.S. Navy does things exactly the same way. Powdered milk, instant potatoes, and food from a can that’s heated up, and rubbery soy bean burgers that make McDonald’s seem like a Michelin star restaurant. They spend loads of money on the ships and almost nothing for things related to quality of life for the crew. I spent several years babysitting murderers at a prison and they ate better than we did in the Navy.
Things are cheap because they buy provisions in MAHOOSIVE bulk orders. It's the same in any military around the world........ they're not going to get Marco Pierre White onboard using the finest ingredients on the planet, are they???
Contractors have also taken over most U.S. kitchens also
6$ a day, wow, even converted to sterling (£, British pounds) that is far more than when I was in the British 🇬🇧 military, I think it was about 69p, and yet we always had excellent quality food, at least we did when the chefs/cooks were service personnel, they were well trained and knowledgeable about food and dietary needs, but I believe that most culinary activities are now contracted out and, as you rightly said, they are not a good option, they are about money and not the service and standards that service personnel should be given, let’s face it if all the contract catering companies provide is “junk” foods it would not take long for the health and fitness levels of personnel to suffer and that would obviously impact on their ability to perform their duties properly.
Your talking out your ass. I'm ex Royal Navy and yes the shops on board make a profit but the profit is put back into welfare on board and ashore. Also we are allowed to drink alcohol on board, as we are treated like adults and not school children.
Such a captivating upload.
💙 Love you all navies keep our world saved.....from Vanuatu, south Pacific. God be with you all.
I have had the privilege of watching the restoration of a destroyer in Galveston TX. Such an honor to see that project. We also have a park (Sea Wolf Park) with an old destroyer and sub.
I am Coast Guard and my first unit out of basic training was a 170 foot buoy tender stationed out of Sitka, AK which I was on for 18 months and we had sleeping quarters just like these sailors have. each "stacked" bunk from the mattress to the bunk above it is give or take 3 feet. there was not much room to get real comfortable. we were at sail for about a couple of weeks at a time with the longest being over a month when we sailed from Alaska to Hawaii for training. it's tough to get a decent night's sleep when there is always people walking around, whispers, people snoring, toilets flushing, etc. when we were back at Sitka, and I was off for a few days, I always got a hotel room in Sitka just so I could have quiet, peace, be alone, take 30 minute showers, watch what I wanted to on TV, and have a room all to myself. It was so nice when after 18 months I got transferred to a small boat station in Northern California and I had a room all to myself.
My brother, God rest his soul, was on the USS Nimitz while she was on sea trials after the Navy acquired her.
very good video, thanks, my dad served on the USS New Jersey and my brother on the Bristol County.
💙💙💙💙 ENDLESS LOVE AND RESPECT 💙💙💙💙
I served on DD950, a Forest Sherman class destroyer as an ETR-3 from 1971-1973. We were home ported in Pearl Harbor and we did one WESTPAC while I was onboard. We mainly provided H and I support up and down the gun line. We also acted as a target to draw shore battery when Haiphong Harbor was being blockaded and mined.. We had a great crew and a tremendous commanding officer: Cmdr W.C. Deal. These years in service were the most important years of my young life (19) at that time. I'd do it all over again, with the same crew, in a blink of an eye. Go Navy!💙
very interesting documentary...
Trima kasih jauh dimata dekat dihati ♨️🎃🏁🇮🇩
💙 Thank you, one and ALL, for your service.

I work at ingalls shipbuilding in pascagoula Mississippi and I built a lot of the ships you have on this program!.. currently overhaulin 1000 right now!
Very happy to hear and knowing all the aspects of the day of life of group USA navy
I love being a galley chef. We are the heart and soul of the ship. Be safe out there boys.
Good🎉🎉🎉
I'm a first class Marine Electrician at a major shipyard. Our job is to repair and upgrade this ships. Currently we are working on the USS Kearsarge...LHD-3. this is a huge contract because we're doing a complete make-over. I can hardly wait to see the final result
You guys are the best the world has to offer ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Life appears pretty miserable on board a limited personal space environment.
But if serving 3 years in the military is the only means you have of affording a college education, then you 'bite the bullet.'
💙 truely impressive video the courage to serve is amazing
I always enjoyed sailing in company with the USN
Thanks to the crews of Destroyers and Submarines!! I salute you for your expert dedicated service and ability!!💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇲
