I wish I could do it all over again with what I know now. I served on the USS America, USS Kennedy, USS Detroit AOE4, and the USS Orion in Italy. It was a lot of hard work and sacrifices in three U.S. Wars but it was worth it. The one thing I noticed is that whenever the media came to our ships for documentaries, it was always the high ranking officers who got the interviews and never the enlisted men and women who are the actual real backbone of the Navy. We did all the dirty and risky work and not enough recognition for it because it was always the officers on the spotlight. Thank you enlisted heroes.
I served on America CVA66 in the Tonkin Gulf. I started as a radarman and the rate name change to operations specialist, kinda like a sanitary engineer instead of garbage man.
Officers are pretty much at-will employees to the president. Enlisted have a contract, which is more awkward administratively. Anyway... too damn many people on a carrier. Put simply... the toilet never stops flushing, mathmatically speaking..
This is brutal truth and obvious! Please ignore them and try to be happy with the great works that you did and give thanks to yourself!

I saw Big John in Philly just a couple of weeks ago. Still floating.
i was a combat Marine out in the jungles of Vietnam during Thanksgiving of 1967. The Btn. Commander of L 3/7 had a hot Thanksgiving dinner flown into a hot LZ for us to enjoy. I'll never forget that. He tried and succeeded in making sure his Marines and Navy Corpsmen had a happy day. That was mighty kind of him. Thank you sir!
That Batallion Cmndr. HAD to have had some "friends in low places" to get something like that done. However he did it, kudos to him.
When I was in the Navy we tried to keep two groups of people happy. They were the chefs and people who gave you your pay.
TÚ IBAS AL GRANO : LLENAR EL BUCHE Y LLENAR EL BOLSILLO. ESPERO QUE PARA TODO LO DEMAS FUESES IGUAL DE DESPABILADO
I was going to say the same thing, always be good to the ms's no matter what rank and also love your disbursing clerk!
Chief never sleep just closed the eyes and midtation
@@pete1128. They don't do direct deposit into your account.?
Cleanest kitchen I've ever seen
Ooh my goodness what a beautiful small floating City, I love it, God bless America.
AWESOME VIDEO!!! I was a Missile Launch Officer in the USAF...got my commission through ROTC and was seriously considering the USN. After my 1st tour, I had the opportunity to become a Weapons System Officer aboard ship...and I turned it down.... a BAD CHOICE on my part....serving on an Aircraft Carrier would have been AMAZING!!! Thank you to the brave men and women who serve in the USN!!! God Bless America!!!
I absolutely love to watch the culinary team. No one appreciates them as they should be. I've been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years and no one ever praises the cooks or dishwashers.. they are a integral part of daily life and without them who will eat?? These men and women both aboard or on shore need just as much admiration as the next. I've never served but as a long time chef I tip my hat to these men and women making sure our bravest have a great meal day in and day out!!! Thank you. And God bless...
you said it i work in a kitchen and it is a thankless job
They’re the biggest morale boosters.
Fuel and coolant polluted drinking water on board and on the base.
Okay...
Officers get to have cooks and great meals day in and day out, Enlisted get frozen pre-cooked food that gets warmed up for a couple of minutes then served (sometimes still frozen) if they're not working on the flight deck. Deck Apes get delicious and rock solid hoagies most of the time. I'm sure as a chef you wouldn't approve, but I'm sure officers loved being able to pick their meals from a menu. Luckily, I made friends through cranking in S-2, S-3 & S-5 that always took care of me as I took care of them.
Such so amazing! my husband was served US Army of 23 years,he was in Vietnam War from 1968--1970s, I'm so proud of our country, and always respect to those man&woman who protected ours nation❤💪👍
We The People of the US can learn something from this great Carrier and its Crew. Like the courier and its crew, we must work together to keep America strong and united. I pray each of you take a moment today and thank someone, help someone and love someone. Take time to unify and find common ground instead of picking at the differences. Most importantly, Pray for those that you love, those your work with and for our great Country and our leaders.
Thank you to all past and present service men, women and their families for your service.
youre welcome sonny
It's just incredible how each individual and team works with one another to achieve a common goal. I commend everyone who is part of this huge project.

Welcome to the military son.
You spent 13 billion dollars on a aircraft carrier, and you don't build a simple scanner to scan the deck for any anomalies. 😢
are they allowed to have sex thou lol sorry for this question but i had it in my mind
OUTSTANDING video of how a great ship SHOULD function for a great country. Thank ALL of you US military people for your service...
I was on the USS Ranger CV-61 and make no mistake about it if the food isn't good the entire crew suffers, that's why our cooks got much respect!!!
PS- Yet.. Bad as it may have been at times- it’s SAFER than Eating a Cat-Taco-Bell Chimichanga “ , or even merely WALK on NYC Streets…
Thank You to all the Men and Woman for your service. You make us proud.
Excellent and informative video, these crews are fantastic,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY
GOD BLESS
thats craaaaazy bro
@@JoeyCheex0583 yes it crazy way the crew has access to everything from Costa Coffee to stores bro
IMO US aircraft carriers are actually floating airports , manned by some of the best sailors and bravest pilots in the world.
I'm glad I was Army Infantry, I wouldn't like being on a ship with so many people so close together. I know all of the branches talk crap about each other, but Sailors aboard a ship have my respect. 🤘🤘
I'd have to guess ... and hope ... that they "talk crap about each other" the same way "loving siblings" do ... when push comes to blow, they are, hopefully, on the same team ! B-)
I’m stationed on this ship it’s really not that bad but the food sucks

If the food compares to other nations, it's good, not suck.

@@kennethmorsee Thank you for your service. 👍
Thank you sincerely to all who serve.

Ahoy shipmate! I loved serving aboard the GW. Many hours were spent on the gallery deck just looking out at "it". Also spent quite a bit of time on the mezzanine above the hangar bays. FWAFS

Lieutenant Robert Lowry was the first to suggest the use of large-scale underway replenishment techniques in an 1883 paper to the Royal United Services Institute. He argued that a successful system would provide a minimum rate of 20 tons per hour while the ships maintain a speed of five knots. He was a Royal Navy Officer the Royal Navy had coaling stations around the Empire which would replenish ships at the turn of the 19th / 20th century .
You guys rock! Thank you for your service!!! 🙏🙏🙏
If I was 25 instead of 85 I would apply to join this amazing ship !

I really appreciate everyone of those crew members for their service to keep our country safe!
🤣
Safe from 1000 of miles away lol!!!

😢😮😅
What are you afraid of?
My first Duty Station was the USS MIDWAY (CV-41) now a museum in San Diego. Also was with VFA-192 embarked on the Midway and then the Independence (now scrapped I believe).
Was a parachute rigger in VA-23, 1962-1966. Did 2 west-pacs then a few carrier quals on the Coral Sea, CVA-43. Good memories.
The teamwork of everyone on board is just incredible. Whatever job you people do on this incredible vessel you are an inspiration.
And incredible is you so sorry clueless about what protects freedom and justice disgrace to it
it's a big beast
Will you sail this ship to rob other countries of oil?
@@ZYF-ki7ox No need. We just put our oil purchases on our grandkids bill
@@ZYF-ki7ox and is the end of the age so know clueless about what protects freedom and justice idiots clueless about what stand for can get out if cant handle being free and take it all with you and pretend it will do you any good . What a joke play learned like tjey play we the people not even close
Amazing! My father served on the HMS Vengeance and HMAS Melbourne during the Korean War.
Unbelievable changes have been made. Good on you America. Peter from Australia.
A friend served aboard the USS CANBERRA. When they made port anywhere in Australia the crew was granted the liberty of the town. They also learned not to try to drink more beer than an Aussie.
It's crazy that in these day and age we still need thousands of people to run a ship.
God Bless our military
I served on the USS Nimitz in the 1980s. It's really amazing to see how in 40 years, nothing has really changed in looking at the hallways, the various spaces, the hangar deck, most of the equipment. (If it works, why change it, I suppose.) The only differences I noticed in 40 years were (1) new planes, and (2) women.
What an amazing experience that must have been.
It's always going forward and updates. Otherwise, it will be behind.
A lot of sex I'm sure goes on in the ships now...gay and straight..lol😅
I served on the Nimitz from February 1994 through November 2000. It was my first mixed gender ship in 20 years of service.
a sitting 4 billion DOLLAR duck...
I am in awe of the minds and talents of those who not only designed and built this engineering marvel, but all the men and women who make it run flawlessly. Born in 1960, I never served (too young for Vietnam, too old for Gulf War) but my respect and admiration for our armed services personnel grows each time I learn more about them and what they do for our country.
And still clueless about what protects freedom and justice anti and to arrogant jackass to know it
God they sure do bilk the taxpayers of money while building these machines
@@Swampfox42 brainwashed the American right outta you
@@Swampfox42 and not a one has a clue what protects freedom and justice unbelievable
but you could have served.
God bless the United States 🇺🇸 ❤❤❤.
My congratulations to all the Cooks from me but also to all the sailors but especially to the Kitchen Area
Some of the best foods I've ever eaten have been from the Mess Halls in the Army. Mess Sergeants and Cooks were first class bakers and cooks. I always made it a point to visit my Cooks and made sure Troops knew how important they were. When I retired, I remembered them in my speech!
Thank You for Your Service
I am going to buy one of these, and make myself the Captain.

Wish I could go on board!! I have been on a carrier for a day, the HMS Invincible when she came up the river Thames in London.
I was on the Lincoln, Nimitz and stennis, this new carrier is huge, had the best time of my life launching my squadrons aircraft off the flight deck at 19yros old, nothing will ever compare to that experience.
Very much enjoyed it. Thank you!
It's great to see the Navy emphasizing fitness. Physically and mentally healthy habits are what we need to see from servicemembers.
The Navy physical fitness standards have progressively gone down in the past 15yrs. I believe the Army is starting to do the same.
@@squidusn71 The navy for years has been the fattest branch with really relaxed standards.
@@bigbay1159 Yes, because we're a bunch of cooks, mechs, and firefighters, lol. We let the soldiers do the running.
When I was in (past my initial training), there was really no mandatory physical training. You kept in shape through your own motivation... and I wasn't motivated _at__all_. However, I had a fast enough metabolism that I managed to keep the weight off.
Please I've watched countless homecomings and departures..I've watched literally drag queens come.off the carriers...pathetic
I served on MIDWAY, INDEPENDANCE, and KITTY HAWK. All great tours of duties even the old, tired MIDWAY! The teamwork and coordination was second to none! The chow wasn't bad either. :-)
a very large aircraft carrier, very complete facilities
Shows you how deficient in knowledge you are
Why would a country need this?
To project power and ensure the freedom of the oceans. To be able to pursue a threat anywhere in the world
WOW, what a video. From narrating to the fantastic video shots, this was produced very well. ❤
@erratic-LEE me I physically recoiled when she called the Galley "the Commissary".
Excellent Aircraft Carrier. We need to keep building to defend ourselves and help others if they need help. If we stop building, we'll behind.
CATOBAR is an acronym which means, "Conventional TakeOff But Arrested Recovery". The aircaft on board a US carrier are not hurled into the air by a "catobar", but rather, a steam powered or electromagnetic catapult which is part of the overall CATOBAR approach to aircraft carrier operations.
My dad served during WW2 in Navy aboard the USS Boxer. It is small in comparison to this huge vessel, but nonetheless an aircraft carrier as well.
My grandfather (RIP) was aboard the USS North Carolina, a U.S Navy battleship, out in the Pacific during WW2.
Bro how old are you man
@@Phil-uu5yp I am 70 years old my day who is gone, passed in 2009.
Oh wow...my dad served on the old USS Boxer as well, MM3 he was. He got out when the war was over. I have an old photography my dad that he had taken of the ship back then. He went through Boot Camp in San Diego, Co. 83.
My dad was an aviation ordinance man on the Boxer. He was on the flight deck and worked on the planes.
I'd like to also say that EVERYONE in any branch of the military is at risk.
911 taught us that even secure places/buildings like the Pentagon can be targeted. There are NO "desk jockeys," each person, regardless of rank is important. I hope we may have see a day like that again, but if it comes, I have full confidence our people in uniform will perform well.
Thank you again!
people in uniform will perform well were an abject failure on 9/11 John.
inside job
Love my American people, the best people in the World ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the narrators wonderful pacing and great diction. The concise captains and crew members comments were great.
The best AC on all the ships I was on was in after steering. The steering gear had to be kept cool.
400hz room was always a fave....
Army guy here.....Comms equipment has to be kept at a decent temp as well. Can't have switches, routers, and other computer systems overheat and crash. Sitting in AC rooms in 120 degree outside weather in Iraq was pretty swell in my book.
I was on CVA-62 75-79 A-Div AC&R Shop. We had 170 Ton Carrier Chill Water Units and a few 150 Ton YORK's. Tons of Refers forward n Aft. We also had tons of Fire Pumps in our Mechanical Rooms to take care of. Our best perk... we had keys to the BAKE SHOP 😁. The AC&R Shop "our shop" had the best set up on the whole ship, we had everything !!! The biggest mistake of my whole life was getting out !!!
@@justachipn3039 idk when you were in but you ever have to go to the FLIR shop?
On the Lincoln, CVN-72, engineering berthing was just above aft steering but well below the flight deck. The white noise of the steering hydraulics drowned out the deck noise, thankfully, although the 600 or so sailors berthing there managed to make enough noise. Thank God for earplugs!-John in Texas
4 years to build is crazy fast time , amazing ships
These ships are endlessly fascinating.
Most dangerous job in the military. Makes me proud to be an American to see these young people come together and make it happen. My hat is off to you all!
How are you?
4 years to build such a massive and technology advanced ship seems to me to be good going.
In the UK the government cannot even build a few miles of rail track in 4 years
The 1 carrier we have took 3 years and its tiny in comparison to this behemoth
I was driving a bus in the city where I live (public transport) and was stopped at a road works by a traffic controller. When I could move off again the controller dropped to one knee, like the chaps in the yellow vests and pointed in direction of travel, ( all quite dramatic) I gave a thumbs up, planted my foot and pushed back into the seat as if the acceleration of the bus was causing it, the controller thought it was quite funny.
How this massive mega tons of steel floats in shallow waters is mind-boggling. 🤔
Archimedes' principle.
@@trumpforever6706
Is that the same man who ran out of the bath tub almost naked shouting, "I found it?" Got ya 🤪
The ship is filled with helium gas which helps.
I had 3 Med Cruises on the USS Saratoga CV-60. Some of my greatest memories.
Im British but nobody does carriers and jets like the US outstanding the F14 tomcat and USS carl vinson are my favourites
I'm a yank and I say; may God Bless the British people. Except for a little spat on US soil a few hundred years ago we CANNOT be separated !!!

I was on a couple of guided missile destroyers during the Vietnam War. We would rotate with other destroyers being on the gunline off the coast of South Vietnam and as carrier escorts in the Gulf of Tonkin. One of my fondest memories of my time in Vietnam was watching planes take off from the carriers and then land on the carriers after their mission was complete.

A very good documentary. Sure an interesting workplace. I like the focus on team building. A very disciplined crew. I admire that
I thank God for these brave women and men. Each day they put themselves in harm's way to protect an increasingly less-than-thankful group of citizens. Godspeed!
The Navy has made tremendous advances in both aircraft and nuclear powered vessels including carriers and submarines. Carriers and subs can now sail for months without refueling. This was unheard of in WW2. Admiral Rickover led the Navy's development of the nuclear powered vessels. My understanding is that he had a one on one interview with every sailor in a nuclear propulsion leadershkp position.
They can go about 25 years without refueling.

proud to be an American with such awesome power to protect and to serve our nation
Having been in an F-4 Squadron as a Flight Deck Troubleshooter and served on the USS America and USS Constellation, I find this to be a pretty watered down view of life on a Carrier.
I served on a carrier during the Vietnam war and remember an 11 month cruise. No women on board then and it’s interesting how they skip over that subject of life aboard a ship with very confined spaces. 🤨
I was part of CV-63’s final crew, then did a short stint on the Stennis CVN-74, nuke sailors have it easier than we had on the conventionals.
they didn't dig too much into how dangerous it is to work on a carrier. the rok hours they glossed over also.
Even on a huge flattop, I'm guessing that junior enlisted berthing is not a nice place.
A 13 billion dollar investment keeping Americans safe
good news is that the most powerful weapon belongs to the civilization
This super carriers is amazing to do al the maintenance at sea and all other jobs, i do admire all service

What is their role John? Who asked the US to be the worlds policeman?
We did, just as our parents and grandparents did. Their parents learned the hard way, after WW-1, that to prevent another world war, we had to be policeman...if we didn't do it, who would?
@@stevewall9181 You did not answer my question? Who asked the US to be the worlds policeman? Why couldn't China be the world's policeman? Which world council would have chosen between China and the US?

I served on the USS Enterprise (CVN 65)
March 1975 till November 1978
What did you like about being on an aircraft carrier? Man I would love to be on one of those things.
Yes, plz write a few words about your time on the carrier and the ports you visited! My fav will always be CV-6 :-)
Our home Port was Alameda California and then when we went on Westpac we would go to Subic Bay Philippines and then maybe go to Hong Kong and then maybe go to Singapore then Mombasa Kenya Africa and I've been to Australia twice once Perth Australia at the next time was Hobart Tasmania then they would be back to the Philippines and then back home. I was a Boatswains Mate in Deck Department and stood watches on the bridge as a master Helmsman and started out as Lookout watch. It was a totally just wild time serving on board this giant City I think we had close to 5,000 people and getting in the chow line every single day three times a day was crazy haha. When I got out I was happy to go home but then I missed it so I joined the Army Reserve for 8 more years and then just lost my interest in the whole thing only being 6 years shy of retirement. I really loved the ship though it was a work of art.
My first Command the USS Abraham Lincoln replaced the Enterprise in Alameda California in 1990 while the Enterprise was in Newport News shipyard.
@@BobJones-pq4th no you wouldn't. Carrier life isn't for married people. This is why the Navy has a high rate of devoice.
The finer things in life we always take for granted but it’s a must in a sailor’s morale in a carrier ,minor things like food ,air condition,size and comfort of the bed and so forth.These are paramount considerations for the livelihood and morale of these sailors.These are the men and women who our freedom depends on,the magnificence of this mighty armada with its superior capabilities will be rendered incapable if our sailors are not properly looked after.Nimitz and Halsey will be smiling right now (Where are the carriers,nimitz used to say).
Believe it or not, AC in the 1950's and earlier onboard ships was typically available only in the medical ward, and then only on larger ships that had these " amenities". When they could, sailors would sleep topside on deck to keep cooler-John in Texas (USN Desert Storm/Shield-IC2)
During the ww2 the morale of the soldiers was a high priority to few generals and admirals and its outcome was a game changer.After left to wither in Guadalcanal,Bull Halsey promised Vandercrift not only the requirements needed but personally turned up to say hello to the marines,this sounds minimal but morale for the marines was greatly improved hence,I believed won the battle in Guadalcanal.Chester Puller again lead from the front always during every battle,being present with fellow marines again boost confidence and ultimately win battle.Last but not least,Patton always make sure his soldiers have warm and dry socks,a warm and dry soldier is a happy one.

Magnificent somehow doesn't come close to describing this Aircraft Carrier. My Dad was stationed on one as a Marine and when I was a little kid he took me to his "boat". This aircraft carrier makes my Dad's "boat" look like a rubber dinghy.
doesn't say anything about engine specs or any capacities
Respect for your father, and for you, having a military upbringing. (Like me, too) in the US Navy, there's "boats", sometimes called submarines, and "targets", sometimes called surface ships. Boats, and targets.
I was a cook on a ship back in 1921. We used to catch fresh fish.. I’m still cooking to this day..
Great work great performances.
I'm super proud to be part of the team that built this machine. We build freedom!
Your part of the disaster you mean
War machines and freedom that goes well together yes, what a sad world
Freedom🙄 it costs taxpayers 50 Million dollars per week to run. Feeds the military industrial complex and just reinforces how stupid humans are with where our energy and priorities are spent.

It's a cultural need.
You know how you get comfortable working on the flight deck during day flight ops? Work on the flight deck at night launching and recovery.
