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.

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.
My son served on the Bush as a Plane Captain for 9 months during it's maiden voyage when it was deployed to the Persian Gulf to support sorties over Iraq and Afghanistan.

During the ship's shakedown cruise before deployment my son told me how amazing it was that for a ship of that size and weight the damn thing could reverse the turbines and bank to either side as it turned around while the engine was in full reverse.

Gerald R Ford class carriers are numbered 78 and up. Ship's classes are based on the first ship of its kind, hence the Nimitz and Gerald R Ford class.

Covid is just the distraction, while we struggle with masks or not, vaxx or not, employment or not our elected officials and bureaucrats behind the curtain are quietly removing our private property rights, our right to travel, our right to assemble, banning protest, our ability to use cash money and bringing in digital id and digital currency and now seizing peoples bank accounts. TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT ! Until the people wake up and you impact the World Economic Forum affiliated politicians and big businesses that run government and are supporting and driving the lock downs, nothing is going to change. The World Economic Forum, the United Nations UN Agenda 2030 and government controlled media are our biggest threats. Covid is the mechanism by which they are destroying the middle class and private/mom and pop businesses. Many of our government officials including Federal MP Chrystia Freeland, Conseritive Michelle 'Pronouns' Rempel, Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and BC Premier John Horgan (and i am sure there are many more) are affiliated with the World Economic Forum (you will own nothing and be happy). What little democracy we have left is in the process of being subverted. Our elections are supposed to "feel" organic and grassroots but these people are groomed and then presented for us to "elect" and then they magically do the opposite of what we want them to do. They are going to tax you out of your car with $10 a litre gas and force you to live in their smart cities, when will you say ENOUGH?! The whole idea is to print money till they destroy people's savings through low interest and high inflation and collapse the dollar and bring in a one world digital currency, add to that more crushing debt for our grand kids to never be able to pay off. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.“ Edmund Burke [“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”] An evil enemy will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.' - Sun Tzu The government will tax you to the point that you are paralyzed financially. The bankers will ensure we stay in debt. The pharmaceutical companies will ensure we stay sick. The weapons manufacturers will ensure we keep going to war. The media will ensure we are prevented from knowing the truth. The government will ensure that all of this is done legally.
I agree of course,but in the 70,s considering how old the Midway was then it did not take much to be "advanced" :) Or even wilder from a radiomans view how about every 5 yrs since then the tech. was about 5 yrs behind the real world, a bunch of burner cell phones now make talking on Ham radios look like stone age :) or how fast satelites took over real time pics, communications etc. I did 2 cruises also on 2 carriers and work ups on two others. Be well. Peace takes Practice. Rick
Amazing how much larger she is ? wider at least! Have been to sea on 4 carriers 3 of which would fit inside of this hull , the technology is what really make her more advanced though! the use of drones and satellites & the tech. on a few of those sister ships & the ones you can't see or the subs is what truly makes this carrier group more advanced than many navy's & air forces
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.
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. The thing I loved about my time in the Marines(I almost enlisted in the Navy)was that we never wore baseball caps and everyone from the buck private to the Commandant wore the same cover and uniform. They also had to qualify with the M16 no matter rank or gender as every marine is a rifleman first..
Watched the movie "The Final Countdown" in 1980 at theater and ever since that movie Aircraft Carriers are my favorite. In around 1991 or so I was denied entry in the Navy due to failing the physical, but I always had a desire to be and work on a AC. The ones now days look amazing, like a city on water. Great video 😄👍

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.
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.

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?
The food looks good , I am ex Royal Navy and the chefs were fantastic. If you wanted a T bone every day you just picked it up . 5 meals a day , Early Clockers, Breakfast, 11 o'clockers (not a true meal) Dinner or lunch depending on if you are a northener or a southerner lol, then 4 o'clockers (not a true meal again) then supper , the big one ! then 9 oclockers ,,, a barrel of boiled eggs, a bucket of butter, a thousand loafs and a drum of mayo. Best trick was to throw a line over the flight deck when anchored and reel in the local delicacy fish. The Wardroom loved it, you got a fame name and the chef would always do you a private butterfly mack n chips with garlic. I caught a 22 lb tuna without knowing wtf it was . Rays and the best ever in the far east. An unreal but real life. I miss the brotherhood but times move on and old sailors reminisce. Best wishes to all that serve at sea.
Building a carrier like that is hard, learning how to operate one effectively in combat situations is much, much harder still. The U.S. Navy has many decades of experience doing just that.
When I see stuff like this, I can only sit in shocked amazement of the technological prowess of the African American. If not for their creative intelligence and mastery of engineering, we would still be living in caves unsure how to even wash ourselves properly. Thank you black people! For all you've given us.

@@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.

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)
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....
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.

Love to hear such positive comments about carriers. Each person is assigned a special job to make teamwork possible.

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).
A carrier strike group is huge, consisting of roughly 7500 personnel. 1 Aircraft Carrier, 2 Guided Missile Cruisers, 2 Anti-Aircraft Warships, and 1-2 Anti-Submarine Destroyers or Frigates. 65 - 70 aircraft. Now multiply that by 11 for the US Navy alone. Maybe one day we'll be able to spend all these billions of dollars toward something which isn't for national defense, until then, I'm glad we're able to do so.
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.

@@joeschmoe4894 The easts hypersonic missiles are a myth. The require high altitude positioning with a downward trajectory to reach their claimed hypersonic missile speeds. The problem with those systems is the the moment they go high altitude they stand out like a sore thumb. They for example cannot be used for level flight at sea level. The US has been making these types of hypersonic missiles since the 1950s. The only nation on earth that has level flight hypersonic systems that are self propelled is the US. Now there are short range systems that the US and UK have that go hypersonic but they are useless for naval warfare. The problem that every nation who tries to take on the US in naval warfare will have is the moment they come into their attack positions the US already knows they are there and will have targeted them.
@@bighands69 Having seen Russia's weapon not live up to the hype, they're likely less of an issue. However, China has come a long way and a concerted effort by either Russia or China could certainly have a chance of success in taking out an aircraft carrier. Modern weapons are becoming small, powerful, mobile, and autonomous, a possibly lethal combination for something very large and very slow-moving relative to projectiles. Slow moving manned weapons are high value targets, especially an aircraft carrier in a serious war. There was a Swedish electric sub that made a successful hit on an American carrier in war games in Europe. The sub was undetected until it was too late, and it was small and relatively cheap. A new generation of weapons are arriving and they will be game-changers.

Gerald R Ford class carriers are numbered 78 and up. Ship's classes are based on the first ship of its kind, hence the Nimitz and Gerald R Ford class. All ships after that will be called that class, until a new class is made.
*Nimitz Class*
USS Nimitz (CVN-68), USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) [the one on the video], USS George Washington (CVN-73), USS John C Stennis (CVN-74), USS Harry S Truman (CVN-75), USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), USS George W Bush (CVN-77)
*Gerald R Ford Class*
USS Gerald R Ford (CVN-78), USS John F Kennedy (CVN-79), USS Enterprise (CVN-80)
Either way, I worked on both CVN72 and CVN78 :)
@@ElizaFabricius Good to hear you had a chance to work on both, Ma'am. I've only been underway on a Nimitz class (as part of the airwing embarked on the Stennis, and as ship's company on the Raegan). Fun times and not so fun times :)

Covid is just the distraction, while we struggle with masks or not, vaxx or not, employment or not our elected officials and bureaucrats behind the curtain are quietly removing our private property rights, our right to travel, our right to assemble, banning protest, our ability to use cash money and bringing in digital id and digital currency and now seizing peoples bank accounts. TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT ! Until the people wake up and you impact the World Economic Forum affiliated politicians and big businesses that run government and are supporting and driving the lock downs, nothing is going to change. The World Economic Forum, the United Nations UN Agenda 2030 and government controlled media are our biggest threats. Covid is the mechanism by which they are destroying the middle class and private/mom and pop businesses. Many of our government officials including Federal MP Chrystia Freeland, Conseritive Michelle 'Pronouns' Rempel, Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and BC Premier John Horgan (and i am sure there are many more) are affiliated with the World Economic Forum (you will own nothing and be happy). What little democracy we have left is in the process of being subverted. Our elections are supposed to "feel" organic and grassroots but these people are groomed and then presented for us to "elect" and then they magically do the opposite of what we want them to do.
They are going to tax you out of your car with $10 a litre gas and force you to live in their smart cities, when will you say ENOUGH?!
The whole idea is to print money till they destroy people's savings through low interest and high inflation and collapse the dollar and bring in a one world digital currency, add to that more crushing debt for our grand kids to never be able to pay off.

I agree of course,but in the 70,s considering how old the Midway was then it did not take much to be "advanced" :) Or even wilder from a radiomans view how about every 5 yrs since then the tech. was about 5 yrs behind the real world, a bunch of burner cell phones now make talking on Ham radios look like stone age :) or how fast satelites took over real time pics, communications etc. I did 2 cruises also on 2 carriers and work ups on two others.

Quality food and air condition is a must for me. OBA's were still in use while i was in.
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. The thing I loved about my time in the Marines(I almost enlisted in the Navy)was that we never wore baseball caps and everyone from the buck private to the Commandant wore the same cover and uniform. They also had to qualify with the M16 no matter rank or gender as every marine is a rifleman first..
Watched the movie "The Final Countdown" in 1980 at theater and ever since that movie Aircraft Carriers are my favorite. In around 1991 or so I was denied entry in the Navy due to failing the physical, but I always had a desire to be and work on a AC. The ones now days look amazing, like a city on water. Great video 😄👍

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!

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?
The food looks good , I am ex Royal Navy and the chefs were fantastic. If you wanted a T bone every day you just picked it up . 5 meals a day , Early Clockers, Breakfast, 11 o'clockers (not a true meal) Dinner or lunch depending on if you are a northener or a southerner lol, then 4 o'clockers (not a true meal again) then supper , the big one ! then 9 oclockers ,,, a barrel of boiled eggs, a bucket of butter, a thousand loafs and a drum of mayo. Best trick was to throw a line over the flight deck when anchored and reel in the local delicacy fish. The Wardroom loved it, you got a fame name and the chef would always do you a private butterfly mack n chips with garlic. I caught a 22 lb tuna without knowing wtf it was .

Building a carrier like that is hard, learning how to operate one effectively in combat situations is much, much harder still. The U.S. Navy has many decades of experience doing just that.

@@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.

@@aarondaniel6630 yes they did. However this particular comment is just a copy of an above one by someone else..
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)
This why America is the greatest nation in the world
First sentence is a big lie. Carrier is used for offense not defence. :D But tax payers need a fairy tale.

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....

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.

@@joeschmoe4894
The easts hypersonic missiles are a myth. The require high altitude positioning with a downward trajectory to reach their claimed hypersonic missile speeds. The problem with those systems is the the moment they go high altitude they stand out like a sore thumb. They for example cannot be used for level flight at sea level. The US has been making these types of hypersonic missiles since the 1950s.
The only nation on earth that has level flight hypersonic systems that are self propelled is the US. Now there are short range systems that the US and UK have that go hypersonic but they are useless for naval warfare.
The problem that every nation who tries to take on the US in naval warfare will have is the moment they come into their attack positions the US already knows they are there and will have targeted them.
@@bighands69 Having seen Russia's weapon not live up to the hype, they're likely less of an issue. However, China has come a long way and a concerted effort by either Russia or China could certainly have a chance of success in taking out an aircraft carrier. Modern weapons are becoming small, powerful, mobile, and autonomous, a possibly lethal combination for something very large and very slow-moving relative to projectiles. Slow moving manned weapons are high value targets, especially an aircraft carrier in a serious war.
There was a Swedish electric sub that made a successful hit on an American carrier in war games in Europe. The sub was undetected until it was too late, and it was small and relatively cheap. A new generation of weapons are arriving and they will be game-changers.
Awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing minimarket in this giant military ship
MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL
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
Waiting for the first ever flying air craft carrier in the future
