I was on the Oriskany and Ticonderoga between 66 and 69. Both ships had one enlisted mess. I remember during non flight days, it was get in line all day long. 2000 or so crew members waiting to get fed in a 300 or so seating area. The new sailor has a sweet life on the carrier! Enough of complaining, I learned how to be proud of my navy days.
FIVE chow line options for E-5 & below on my Nimitz-class: The 2 main lines serving meal-of-the-day back aft, a line serving fried food & pizza up forward, a cold-cuts deli bar, and finally a "taco bar" (open 23 hrs per day). E-6 have the option of going to the First-class mess. Then there's the chiefs' mess and wardrooms...
I don't know man. Still feels a lot safer here in a small town in the middle of nowherere. I'm pretty sure nobody's got any intentions of dropping bombs here ..
The protestant builders in Belfast said the same thing about their ship in 1912. "Not even God could sink her" so they said. Well, God didn't sink her. An iceberg did. The Titanic and this ship have one thing in common. They're made of iron. It goes one way if it's holed. South.

Life inside is full of hardwork, accountability and uncomfortable situations that keeps one out of his comfort zones for quite a long time. Serving military is not easy but air force jobs are comparatively the easiest of all services.
We were fortunate enough to be invited for a Family Day Cruise on the Carl Vinson in 1995. We went out of Alameda, under the Bay Bridge then under the Golden Gate. Unbelievable. As we were going through the Bay, they’d lean the ship to the left so we could see the Embarcadero, then lean it to the right for a good view of Alcatraz. We were escorted by Firefighting “Boats” Spraying their water Cannons. It looked like that tower was gonna hit the Golden Gate. And as soon as we cleared it a lot of antennas folded up because the WOULD have hit the bridge. They took us out well beyond the Farallon Islands. That ship is FAST! I was thinking “You could pull a couple thousand skiers!” They had us all come down to the Hangar deck for Lunch. They had one A-10 Warthog to look at. While we were having lunch, they Arrested four Fighter Jets from NAS Lemoore. After lunch, we rode the Jet elevators up to the flight deck, where they commenced to put on one fine Airshow. Including breaking the Sound Barrier right over the deck. As we finally were docking at the end of a 15 hour day, the Captain thanked us for choosing “Bald Eagle Cruise Lines”. It takes a WHILE to park one of those. It was an unforgettable experience. Cheers.
Served aboard the U.S.S. Harry S. Truman for 7 months and did 3 months out to sea with not hitting land. It wasn't the best experience but happy to have done it.

I believe the largest aircraft carrier was almost a 1/4 mile in length at 1300 feet. They also serve almost 18,000 daily meals.

7:47 Incorrect - F35B STOVL capability was developed to replace NATO Harrier Jets from the UK. The UK has purchased 27 of them. They are not exclusive to USMC. Singapore, South Korea, and Italy also have some.
AMAZING THAT ONE SINGLE NORWAY U BOOT SEND IN DEEP YOUR AIRCSAFT CARRIER. ONE GREEK U BOOT DID THE SAME SOME YEARS AGO !! of course iconic, NATO training. IN ONE SINGLE MINUTE.
A little different from when I served on a carrier back in '92-94 but it's good to see something like this put out there.👍 CVN -68.USS Nimitz. Purple Shirt. V-4 (flight deck fuels) "Purple Maze" if any of my old deck apes are watching.
It really is amazing, the scale of this vessel. I also admire how a marine officer chooses to be a pilot. To me, a marine is the MOST PHYSICALLY TOUGHEST BRANCH OF THE MILITARY. BESIDES ARMY SPECIAL FORCES AND NAVY SEALS.
As a prior Active (2003-2007 as a BM with FFG-42 [Decom]) and in the reserves with the Navy Seabees from 2007-Present till next year hitting 20 years, I always try to get new recruits who just came from boot camp to try to get into Active Duty at LEAST 4 years. Get to experience the REAL Navy out to see and self-development in their careers. Will always appreciate what the Navy has provided for me and making me becoming an professional individual as well as a leader.
But are they efficient against a capable military? 7500 people will die if it gets hit and getting hit it will. You can't hide such huge thing and will be the first target.
@@sleepyjoe7843 For the most part nothing would be able to get close it and the defensive weapons are really effective. There is an enormous costs to maintain these systems which is a concern.
@@rockpadstudios For most part are smaller countries with average military capabilities like Iraq and Syria. Iran would probably be able to hit it let alone talking about Russia or China.

I served on a carrier from 1988-1991. I was part of the Mar-Det (Marine Detachments). We give sailers a hard time but they work their sass off doing 12hrs on 12 hrs off work.
The Zumwalt-class destroyer fell short of expectations. The Navy requested their cancellation and Congress obliged. Only three Zumwalts were ever delivered.
Harriers were the biggest mistake the United States ever made by purchasing these death traps from England, over 60 American pilots died from flying harriers because of sudden mechanical failures, ‼️
@@letsbeavenue of course not Bloody tea bags they were all American pilots, I'm a American Military historian, and a former commissioned officer in the United States, military, BUGGER Off , Go rent a rope so u can get a Good nights sleep 🤣🤣🤣♦️♦️♦️‼️
@@letsbeavenue The VTOL systems on Harriers are notoriously unstable and use all manual systems. Combine that with the rather restricting amount of weapons you actually mount on it as well and it's a rather poor jet. One of the F-35s main goals was to replace the Harrier and it is succeeding. Also to correct the other guy from what I know it's not all mechanical failures. I forgot the exact reason but it was something to do with the downdraft of the VTOL engines and the hot air from the engines getting back into the intake causing the jet to flip over onto the cockpit many times. I think his number of 60 is accurate but I can't confirm. I typed a full paragraph for this, not sure why though. I wasn't in the mood to reply to any of the defund the military people I guess.
@@davidstaudohar6733 I would be very interested in your source for this fact. I have been unable to find any information to substantiate your claim, I can find only a handful of cases where mechanical failure has resulted in pilot deaths, most have ejected and survived...most pilot deaths, as far as I can find out, have been as a result of flying conditions and pilot failure. Please share your source as I am genuinely interested
I would like so much to hear from an expert what are Aircraft carriers and Manned Aircrafts needed for in the time of extraordinary practical and precise, satellite controlled Drone and Supersonic Ballistic Missiles era ??
Telling a country "I can bomb you anytime" does not quite have the geopolitical effect of parking 3 ships outside their waters with enough firepower to level them. This is what happened several years ago with North Korea, shortly leading to the peace talks between Trump and Kim. It's not the actual firepower that aircraft carriers are used for- they've been critical in diplomatic exchanges more often, without dropping a bomb.
@@jaimerhoda5399, These aircraft carriers, and it fleet of support vessels are now simply large slow moving targets with no cover to hide in, with the advance now of hypersonic missiles....
Yea, I had to go through shipboard firefighting training every two years, and (if I remember correctly) first aid training every year during sea duty (US Navy).
They can also be used as a sort of rescue vessels in times of serious natural disasters. They contain multiple full surgical hospitals, several methods of transporting injured people between ship and shore, and enough extra electricity generation capability to power a small town on land. Include the large food reserve usable for emergency feeding large masses of calamity impacted people on land. World wide communication capability is in there, too. There's much more to an aircraft carrier than throwing airplanes into the air.
Try remember that a carrier strike group consists are more than just the aircraft carrier. Try figure that although it's not impossible for a missile to strike it, that there are numerous counter offences in the strike group. The aircraft carrier itself is very well protected even on it's own. It is and always will be a huge threat to the enemy. So yes, it can be sunk, but not that easily. You do know it has defensive capabilities on it's own and the strike group is highly capable at defence also?
Not even close to right price and that's not how it works. Aircraft carriers in ww2 were hit by dozens of bombs and torpedoes and still held on before sinking. But but projectiles have improved! So has sustainability of carriers.
It seems a carrier could be used either way. It is a portable airfield. Assaulting and defending sometimes happen simultaneously. Reference to big battles between allies and Japanese in the WW2 Pacific. In some battles the carriers never saw each other while their aircraft were duking it out. (Battle of Midway)
Being a radioman on the USS Gurke DD783 following the USS Midway CVA41 around in the early to mid 70's this video shows me how far our ships have progressed. Increditable
Although the USS Midway CV41 wasn't as advanced as the carrier in this video, I think that if it were still around today, it could still hold its own if war broke out today. Today's Aircraft Carriers are top notch though. The USS Midway CV41was my first ship, sailing out of Yokosuka Japan!
It would work sort of, they would clear the deck and use her to launch drones & her sister ships are the most advanced in the world &is literally like using a video game no avoiding that now! Glad your with us,Peace. Rick
I think they are sitting targets now. Countries are developing AI controlled missiles and have hypersonic missiles. It won't be long before aircraft carriers are useless. What can they do against a swarm of drones?? (even underwater drones) Why do we even need fighter jets when we can have much faster unmanned vehicles?
This is NOT a video of a Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, but appears to be snippets of videos showing different Nimitz class aircraft carriers. What a croc!
That is called a holdback bar and is supposed to drop, if it didnt drop then there would be a serious problem. ABEs in the Navy man that station during flight operations and they attack the Holdback bar into the jet and the catapult to hold tension. When the Jet is shot off, the ABE manning that position grabs the holdback bar and inspects it for damage, usually damage is done and on to the next jet it goes.
The larger carriers are nucleair powered, which makes the vessel basically steam engine powered. They still up to date use steam catapults on several ships.
"as it is flown in the Royal Navy from the Queen Elizabeth and the Price of Wales A/C's."(sic) The Royal Navy has yet to stand up an operational F-35B squadron. The eight British F-35Bs that embarked aboard HMS QE for CSG 21 were from RAF No. 617 Squadron. The Italians are also taking delivery of the F-35B.
@@AA-xo9uw The British forces are integrated and have been for the past decade. This is due to defence cuts and therefore the squadron (617)of RAF aircraft you talk about are made up of RAF pilots and Royal Navy pilots who all operate from the British carriers. There is not currently and unlikely to be a Royal Naval squadron dedicated to the F35B.
All the people on this ship have my respect and are experts in their own category. Meanwhile the leader of the country couldn't even walk up some steers on this ship and don't even get me started at the last clown ^^ Just my personal opinion, take it with a grain of salt ;) Cheers from Switzerland
I'm a recently retired middle-school Science teacher. I used to take my classes through Archimede's Principle (which explains buoyancy) with various class demonstrations and construction of small 'boats' or things that would float and support a weight. But so help me, EVERY time I see a warship, let alone such a HUGE one, I am struck by a few simple facts: It is made of THICK steel, it weighs HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of tons, .....and yet it floats. SMH....
same way a bowl floats or a boat with a concrete hull. yeah i dont quite get it my self but i work on boats and we randomly get ones made of concrete. oh and i cooked on a aircraft carrrier and the fact of living on one blew my mind. 5,000 people on a boat?
"I'm a recently retired middle-school Science teacher." Amazing, such hero. Let me sucketh upon your peen sir, may I offer you a raise? Teachers love raises.
that is any vessel? In ww2 America was smarter with its carriers than Japan was and it took theirs out and continued their island progression. It’s a lot more difficult to hit these than you can imagine.
Carriers, despite their size, are tiny in comparison to the ocean. They're just another spec out there and finding one is as much of a challenge as sinking one.
Read the entire speech carefully, particularly the following: "Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions."

5:25 Good !! Great video
This was not what I was expecting. Wanted just to watch aircraft carriers but this was about jets and other ships.
It's awesome how this operates with cohesion.
Hello how are you doing ...can I get to know yoy
It always worries me how close they park the jets to the edge of the ship
Same
Valid concern from a man of culture
jets are locked to the deck.
About 10m away
@@avrajsagoo5372 i must be bamboozled if that is 10m away and the tail is still over the edge of the ship

It really is amazing, the scale of this vessel. I also admire how a marine officer chooses to be a pilot. To me, a marine is the MOST PHYSICALLY TOUGHEST BRANCH OF THE MILITARY. BESIDES ARMY SPECIAL FORCES AND NAVY SEALS.
i worked on a carrier years ago, marines or ANYONE who pays to become an officer (yes thats how it works) can be a pilot HOOYAH!

As a prior Active (2003-2007 as a BM with FFG-42 [Decom]) and in the reserves with the Navy Seabees from 2007-Present till next year hitting 20 years, I always try to get new recruits who just came from boot camp to try to get into Active Duty at LEAST 4 years. Get to experience the REAL Navy out to see and self-development in their careers.
Will always appreciate what the Navy has provided for me and making me becoming an professional individual as well as a leader.
Retirement is great brother. Good luck and hope you got all your med record sorted out.

air craft carriers are amazing
But are they efficient against a capable military? 7500 people will die if it gets hit and getting hit it will. You can't hide such huge thing and will be the first target.
@@sleepyjoe7843 For the most part nothing would be able to get close it and the defensive weapons are really effective. There is an enormous costs to maintain these systems which is a concern.
@@rockpadstudios For most part are smaller countries with average military capabilities like Iraq and Syria. Iran would probably be able to hit it let alone talking about Russia or China.
@@rockpadstudios It's good against smaller countries no doubt no one else has similar capabilities. But most countries invest in budget to protect their country.
First sentence is a big lie. Carrier is used for offense not defence. :D But tax payers need a fairy tale.

I served on a carrier from 1988-1991. I was part of the Mar-Det (Marine Detachments). We give sailers a hard time but they work their sass off doing 12hrs on 12 hrs off work.
They must have been on vacation.

Harriers were the biggest mistake the United States ever made by purchasing these death traps from England, over 60 American pilots died from flying harriers because of sudden mechanical failures, ‼️
@@davidstaudohar6733 where did you obtain these facts? Maybe it was US pilot error. The Royal Navy pilots never had this problem.
@@letsbeavenue of course not Bloody tea bags they were all American pilots, I'm a American Military historian, and a former commissioned officer in the United States, military, BUGGER Off , Go rent a rope so u can get a Good nights sleep 🤣🤣🤣♦️♦️♦️‼️
@@letsbeavenue The VTOL systems on Harriers are notoriously unstable and use all manual systems. Combine that with the rather restricting amount of weapons you actually mount on it as well and it's a rather poor jet. One of the F-35s main goals was to replace the Harrier and it is succeeding. Also to correct the other guy from what I know it's not all mechanical failures. I forgot the exact reason but it was something to do with the downdraft of the VTOL engines and the hot air from the engines getting back into the intake causing the jet to flip over onto the cockpit many times. I think his number of 60 is accurate but I can't confirm.
I typed a full paragraph for this, not sure why though. I wasn't in the mood to reply to any of the defund the military people I guess.
@@davidstaudohar6733 I would be very interested in your source for this fact.
I have been unable to find any information to substantiate your claim, I can find only a handful of cases where mechanical failure has resulted in pilot deaths, most have ejected and survived...most pilot deaths, as far as I can find out, have been as a result of flying conditions and pilot failure.
Please share your source as I am genuinely interested
It's alright. Kinda like marvel studios helicarrier, right? War machines can be hard, but look at the food market in this ship. Nice place to live
Yrp
I like the store and the restaurent. 15000 fresh meals a day, really amazing.
I would like so much to hear from an expert what are Aircraft carriers and Manned Aircrafts needed for in the time of extraordinary practical and precise, satellite controlled Drone and Supersonic Ballistic Missiles era ??
Telling a country "I can bomb you anytime" does not quite have the geopolitical effect of parking 3 ships outside their waters with enough firepower to level them. This is what happened several years ago with North Korea, shortly leading to the peace talks between Trump and Kim. It's not the actual firepower that aircraft carriers are used for- they've been critical in diplomatic exchanges more often, without dropping a bomb.
@@jaimerhoda5399, These aircraft carriers, and it fleet of support vessels are now simply large slow moving targets with no cover to hide in, with the advance now of hypersonic missiles....
These things are good against small countries. But basically a target practise for countries with good military capabilities.
Sitting ducks for the Russia & China.
Yea, I had to go through shipboard firefighting training every two years, and (if I remember correctly) first aid training every year during sea duty (US Navy).

Aircraft carrier so amazing.
They can also be used as a sort of rescue vessels in times of serious natural disasters. They contain multiple full surgical hospitals, several methods of transporting injured people between ship and shore, and enough extra electricity generation capability to power a small town on land. Include the large food reserve usable for emergency feeding large masses of calamity impacted people on land. World wide communication capability is in there, too.
There's much more to an aircraft carrier than throwing airplanes into the air.
And one $25,000 missile could send the whole thing to the bottom of the ocean.
Those are $50,000 today. Inflation and all.
You know the cost of missiles... Strange
😳😳😳
Try remember that a carrier strike group consists are more than just the aircraft carrier. Try figure that although it's not impossible for a missile to strike it, that there are numerous counter offences in the strike group. The aircraft carrier itself is very well protected even on it's own. It is and always will be a huge threat to the enemy. So yes, it can be sunk, but not that easily. You do know it has defensive capabilities on it's own and the strike group is highly capable at defence also?
Not even close to right price and that's not how it works. Aircraft carriers in ww2 were hit by dozens of bombs and torpedoes and still held on before sinking. But but projectiles have improved! So has sustainability of carriers.
From the very first couple seconds author make mistake - aircraft carrier is not defence weapon - it is assault type of military complex.
It seems a carrier could be used either way. It is a portable airfield. Assaulting and defending sometimes happen simultaneously. Reference to big battles between allies and Japanese in the WW2 Pacific. In some battles the carriers never saw each other while their aircraft were duking it out. (Battle of Midway)
Красота какая, клааааааас!!!

@@aarondaniel6630 yes they did. However this particular comment is just a copy of an above one by someone else..
Although the USS Midway CV41 wasn't as advanced as the carrier in this video, I think that if it were still around today, it could still hold its own if war broke out today.
Today's Aircraft Carriers are top notch though.
The USS Midway CV41was my first ship, sailing out of Yokosuka Japan!
It would work sort of, they would clear the deck and use her to launch drones & her sister ships are the most advanced in the world &is literally like using a video game no avoiding that now! Glad your with us,Peace. Rick

The Midway IS still around. She is at her home in San Diego, California. You can go aboard and tour her decks and feel the presence of her crew.

I think they are sitting targets now. Countries are developing AI controlled missiles and have hypersonic missiles. It won't be long before aircraft carriers are useless. What can they do against a swarm of drones?? (even underwater drones) Why do we even need fighter jets when we can have much faster unmanned vehicles?
MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL
Amazing architectural marvel! 1
This is NOT a video of a Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, but appears to be snippets of videos showing different Nimitz class aircraft carriers. What a croc!
aircraft carrier is not for defence. it's the key for great powers to 'defend' their intersts by threating others.
Threating smaller countries. Will be shoot the first day in case US will go against a capable military. It's handy against poorer countries.
@@sleepyjoe7843 with airecraft carrier, the US has been threating others eversince ww2
The level of "perfection" is best illustrated at 4:18, when a deck officer hurries to fetch a small missile dropped by the starting jet.
That is called a holdback bar and is supposed to drop, if it didnt drop then there would be a serious problem. ABEs in the Navy man that station during flight operations and they attack the Holdback bar into the jet and the catapult to hold tension. When the Jet is shot off, the ABE manning that position grabs the holdback bar and inspects it for damage, usually damage is done and on to the next jet it goes.

The first catapult shot was a steam catapult. They’re using mag rail style now.
No, they still haven't got the bugs out of those, they're crap.
The larger carriers are nucleair powered, which makes the vessel basically steam engine powered.
They still up to date use steam catapults on several ships.
The F 35 "B" is not exclusive to the USMC as it is flown in the Royal Navy from the Queen Elizabeth and the Price of Wales A/C's.
I was JUST going to type that, John, then saw your comment at the top !
"as it is flown in the Royal Navy from the Queen Elizabeth and the Price of Wales A/C's."(sic)
The Royal Navy has yet to stand up an operational F-35B squadron. The eight British F-35Bs that embarked aboard HMS QE for CSG 21 were from RAF No. 617 Squadron.
The Italians are also taking delivery of the F-35B.
@@AA-xo9uw The British forces are integrated and have been for the past decade. This is due to defence cuts and therefore the squadron (617)of RAF aircraft you talk about are made up of RAF pilots and Royal Navy pilots who all operate from the British carriers. There is not currently and unlikely to be a Royal Naval squadron dedicated to the F35B.
the f 35 b are in use also in the Italian Navy on ship Cavour and by the end of the year on new Lhd Trieste
@@salvatoreternullo481 didnt know that..retired US Navy..very cool

I'm a recently retired middle-school Science teacher. I used to take my classes through Archimede's Principle (which explains buoyancy) with various class demonstrations and construction of small 'boats' or things that would float and support a weight. But so help me, EVERY time I see a warship, let alone such a HUGE one, I am struck by a few simple facts: It is made of THICK steel, it weighs HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of tons, .....and yet it floats. SMH....
same way a bowl floats or a boat with a concrete hull. yeah i dont quite get it my self but i work on boats and we randomly get ones made of concrete. oh and i cooked on a aircraft carrrier and the fact of living on one blew my mind. 5,000 people on a boat?
"I'm a recently retired middle-school Science teacher."
Amazing, such hero. Let me sucketh upon your peen sir, may I offer you a raise? Teachers love raises.
rip the careers of your students 🙏
The engineering is impressive but to me these things have always been just floating targets.
that is any vessel? In ww2 America was smarter with its carriers than Japan was and it took theirs out and continued their island progression. It’s a lot more difficult to hit these than you can imagine.
Carriers, despite their size, are tiny in comparison to the ocean. They're just another spec out there and finding one is as much of a challenge as sinking one.
Awacs does not only track troop movement but also natural disasters, like hurricans, earthquakes, etc.
War is not the only threat.
Thanks For Informative Video
It's messed up that they have a store that charges the crew for goods. Everything should be free for them.
True. However I'm sure the crew won't want everything to be handed to them, they would want to make choices too, hence the store
There will be a lot of waste
Perfect example of the Military/Industrial Complex which D. Eisenhower warned America about but no one listened
Read the entire speech carefully, particularly the following:
"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions."
