You didn't mention the role carriers play in disaster relief: When hurricanes hit the Caribbean, a carrier was wired to a grid to provide power, and the desalinization plant onboard provided water.
@jweltsch22 you said airport and now I have an image in my head of a 747 being yeeted off the flight deck with its launching catapults.
@@switchplayer1016 Clearly too big, but they have landed and launched C-130's off of a carrier in the past.
The 3rd largest city in my state and one of its main ports (im not sure how many people lived there at the time but theres over 200k living there now) had a major power outage once due to some power plants being knocked out, so they literally hooked an aircraft carrier up to the power grid and powered most of the city with it.
@@arthas640 thank you US navy for providing ships that do double duty as both portable neuclear reactor systems and desolisation machines.
being an attack carrier like in the WW2 is more of a 2nd role today, while search and rescue/ disaster relief is more like 1th role

They can go faster than 35 MPH although I am sure their actual top speed is classified. When I was in Japan we escorted a carrier out of port. Our patrol boats maxed out at a certian speed greater than 35 knots and the carrier left us behind when we reached open water. 35knots>35MPH
They go slower than their cap since boat starts breaking up
top speed is actually around 75 MPH in full steam making a wake 5 Miles long behind the ship
exactly, our carriers are the fastest boats in the navy, with the nuclear power... they also can go that speed indefinitely. Like John Smith said, its more like 70-75 mph.... Which is just insane with how big it is

I was stationed on USS Nimitz from 2006-2011, in the electrical division of the engineering department. I worked on lighting and electrical systems all over the ship, so I got to know it really well. It's so much larger and more complex than it seems from the outside; the interior of a carrier is like an ant hill, especially below the main deck. I still have dreams where I'm going through hangar bays, ladder wells, machinery spaces, pump rooms, bilges, etc.
SMATF5 thank you sailor for your service. We patriots admire and appreciate you more then you know. You guys & gals are my hero’s.
To bad all u s aircraft carriers can get wiped out with one missile from either China or Russia. And we have nothing to stop them. We are so behind.
@@mrnewskin7831 , keep dreaming about Russian and Chinese capabilities. Just last week Russia tested a cruise missile that they want to use to target American Carriers.

Remember Russia and China is still more then 15 years behind us in all technology

"...That aircraft carrier with all their defenses, are not as unsinkable as some may say"
Well, there's a reason why they have 11 carriers
So they can deploy them to multiple locations at once, and have carriers on standby to fill in for others in dock for repairs and maintenance. (Yes I know you were joking.)
Aircraft carriers are a waste and everybody knows it. One nuclear pulse from a ballistic missile and the whole group is useless. They are just the Navy's way to get promotions and budgets. They never fight. When Trump tried to threaten N. Korea, the only carrier we had in the Pacific ran away. During the peak of the cold war, we had three. Now that they are useless, we have 11. 12?
And there's a reason why they travel with other 5 ships
@@DrJohnnyJ you are seriously delusional. No facts in anything you just spewed.
@kevin your logic is garbage, even the one down corrected you, they are supported by 5 other ship that are good at different defense for your carrier, anyway 1 submarine and all your 11 carrier are fuckin down
My uncle was an officer on the USS Carl Vinson. He gave my mom sis and me a tour of it. I remember seeing the anchor on the outside and thinking it was so small (in comparison)
During the tour we ended up in the room that houses the anchor chain. Each chain link was as big as me. That was insanely cool
Crazy part is where the full length of that massive anchor chain goes inside the ship -- two giant wells that go down the full height of the ship. I remember watching a tiny deck sailor get lowered into one via harness so she could clean the bottom. Scary business.
I was on the USS Independence CV-62. Our anchors weighed 30 tons each and the chains had 350 links that weighed 360 pounds per link.
I used to paint that anchor. And drive that ship lol
I wouldn't say the links were as big as you but definitely heavier than you. 350lbs

For a country with such a looooong history of going to war with every motherfucker in the room you think the French could think of more than 1 war hero to name shit after. At least the US has the excuse of being relatively young, only becoming a major power in the last 150 years and for most of its recorded history it was only a backwater collection of disjointed settlements. France was famous for its warriors since the days of Rome, yet they name everything after a dude that died so recently there are plenty of people on this site that remember him making the news.
We need Seacraft Carriers: large cities flying in the sky that drop boats at strategic locations.
brilliant idea, we should be able to deploy a country by a country carrier 2100
Hibiki I mean if you can make a boat the size of vieques you could absolutely send a fucking city filled with nukes and planes basically anywhere
and the boats are aircraft carriers
Somebody give this man a medal
Darkwarrior0920 and why would you need to have a aircraft carrier the size of a city carrying nuclear warheads that would put warning bells on everyone’s radar and you would get a sanction by other country’s we have ICBMs for a reason
as an ex-navy man I can say that the way aircraft carriers work is first, they must be able to float.
If Poseidon finds out that you said "ex" it's gone be some drama ....from one sailor to another _sailor_
Unbelievable. You could convince millions and run for President

Thank you for your service.
An under appreciated position. Communication is possibly the most important element on the battlefield.
For your end of video question, my thoughts on what I know about the doors are:
If the statement is false, with current supplied information we can't correctly infer the safety of either door.
Logically the information that the statement is false doesn't point to a specific point of the statement, just the statement as a whole. So if the statement "If this door is safe, the other door is deadly" is false, it could mean "If this door is safe, the other door is safe." Thus both doors could be safe. It could also read, "If this door is deadly, the other door is deadly", in which case both doors are deadly.
Logically I'd leave the doors alone, because deadly is an absolute that I wouldn't gamble a 50/50 on.
Good idea, I’ll bet someone wants you going and seeing what’s in the first door with the funny writing on it 🤨 I’m not sure I can infer anything other than it’s definitely a trap for you. But then, 50/50 isn’t that bad of odds really in the cosmological schemes of things, I’d say…
I reached the same conclusion: Either both doors are safe, or both are deadly. If you can safely inspect one to see if passing through will be safe or deadly (for example, tossing a frog through), you'll know the state of the other.
@@danielhale1 was that a reference to the witch's house? cause if it was, props to you
@@user-xy4ry1lt6n I forget the name of the show, but it was indeed a reference to an episode I saw years ago. They're confronted with two doors and two frogs as guardians, one always lies and the other always tells the truth. One door leads to safety, the other to death. The guy has had it up to here, so he grabs a frog and tosses it through a door, causing it to burst into flames. He slams the door and says "welp, it wasn't that one!".
@@danielhale1 Actually, you can't say that with confidence.
The sign states that "If door A is safe, door B is deadly"
Assuming that is true, there are two options for door A.
Option 1: Door A is safe, therefore Door B is deadly
Option 2: Door A is deadly, and we therefore know nothing about Door B because the sign only provides information on the situation if Door A is Safe.
Based on that, if we know the sign is False, then we can say
Option 1: Door A is Safe and Door B is safe.
Option 2: Door A is Deadly and we still no nothing about door B.
If you must choose a door in this case, choose Door B as in any situation where Door A is Safe, Door B is also safe, but there are cases where Door b is safe and Door A is not.
US Gov.: "So how many carriers are you going to build?"
US Navy: "Yes."

8:54 I love how even when Americans are on the bridge of an aircraft carrier they're still wearing their baseball caps.
That's because they're on their " on-duty " statues.
Because they are being recorded
Ball caps or covers are part of the Navy's working uniform. When a carrier is at sea, the cap is considered as a foreign object debris (FOD) that could ruin a jet engine so they aren't allowed on the flight deck. They also aren't required anywhere else except on the bridge where they are mandatory just for entry. As a flight deck guy that sometimes had to go on the bridge, I would have to make a long trip to my locker to get a cap and then make a long trip up to the bridge.
@@michaelmappin4425 why didn’t you put your cap in a pocket or something. Seems like a lot of work to walk to your bunk just to get your hat
@@MrJimheerenflight deck guys would normally never need a ball cap at sea. In fact, they are considered FOD (foreign object debris) around aircraft. We look forward to getting underway and locking that cap up for the entire time. It's only to get a working over the side chit or a crunch report signed that we would ever go up there.
One of my high school teachers was a freshly new commissioned Lt. from the naval academy that served on the Enterprise during Vietnam. He always talked about how young he was and was in charge of up to 1000 sailors in the boiler rooms on the carrier.
His navy sea stories were always the best!
I work on those supply ships! Fun fact: they are all operated by civilians! Glad to see some appreciation!
@lilbeserk most are civilians though these ships are armed and tend to have retired military personnel on for security. the reason for this that companies will send goods for cheap , and supply ships are not near the fleet for long since the supply ships go for refuel and pick up of new supplies.
@Chuck Taylor no it's true. They use the designation USNS instead of USS in the U.S Navy.
Funny, every onrep I was ever involved it was from a Navy supply ship
How could one work in one of those?
deathbunny Depends on the AOR. Fifth fleet has military personnel pulling security.
I find it so cool that a carrier literally has hangars below its deck. I used to think that all aircraft would be stored on the deck, I didn´t think about the carrier having space for even more aircraft. So you imagine my face of disbelief when I played the carrier mission in BF4
All "by design" aircraft carriers have had dedicated hanger decks.
Most conversion designs like the Langley did as well.
2:48 I love that there is Bobs Burgers playing on the TV in the mess hall! Gotta love the Navy 😂
Anybody that has played civilization knows how badass they are.
A super sonic DF26 missile (东风-26) would reduce these carriers to scrap in seconds! Currently the US has NO defense against these missiles!
@@uwanttono4012 That's. . . why we have guided missile carriers, and destroyers escorting carriers.
@@uwanttono4012 1) That's what they're designed to do. Predict where the missile is going to be, and then launch missiles there. The AA missile doesn't have to go into orbit, so no matter how fast the ballistic missile is, there will always be time to react.
2) Give me a reasonable scenario where China manages to successfully launch a nuclear attack on the United States and doest get at least detected and nuked into oblivion in return.
@@dullen2810 It's the hypersonic speed of the DF-26 that currently makes it impossible to intercept with present technology even though this technology is constantly improving.

Thank you so much for showcasing the mighty COD! It is definite the best naval aircraft ever made. You got one thing wrong tho. We base on land, mostly, fly out to the boat, and then fly back to land for the night. That alleviates maintenance, berthing, space, etc needed for two more planes onboard. Plus, we operate better when we’re there on land to coordinate the cargo. And it’s 4 less meat-eaters to worry about onboard. Trust me on that one. Thanks again!
Unless you've seen one up close in person it's hard to comprehend how large these are.
On a modern US Carrier, the superstructure, known as the "island," has about 6 decks that view the flight deck: The lowest one, which is at flight deck level, is where the movement officer is stationed, who is responsible for coordinating aircraft movement on the flight deck. Two levels above that, is an enclosed platform where a camera is mounted that gives a panoramic view of the flight deck, and is used for supervising and recording all aircraft operations. Directly above that is the Flag Bridge, then the actual Bridge, and at the top of the superstructure is the Control tower, who coordinates launching and recovering aircraft.

Israel didn’t want the US to know how they will execute Operation Focus. If the US knew, a slip of intelligence may squeak out to the Arab league. There were many different scenarios that could compromise the operation.
At the time, Iran could’ve sided with the Arabs that would’ve made religion more of the reason to defeat Israel. Iran already acquired American military hardware by 1967. Maybe the Israelis knew the capabilities of the F4 Phantom better than America did. At the time, Israel were using the Mirage fighter which took on the role of both tactical aerial dog fighter and bomber. F4 was a high altitude interceptor that can easily look down and shoot down the Mirages and also a very proficient attack bomber.
I’m guessing the Iranians had something to do with why the Liberty was attacked. Research vessels gather information and radio waves.
Mossad had their reasons but the reason can be that they exercised complete black out of any form of intelligence leading to the day of the attack.
USS Ranger had 7 decks above flight deck level - but the 0-10 level was fully enclosed so it might not count for your statement.

‘If this door is safe, the other door is deadly.’ Assuming that this is false, that means that if door 1 is safe, so is door 2. However if door 1 is deadly, door 2 is unaffected, and can be either safe or deadly. This means that there are 3 outcomes, both doors are safe, door 1 is deadly and door 2 is safe, or door 1 and door 2 are deadly. Door 1 has a 1/3 chance of being safe while door 2 has a 2/3 chance, meaning that door 2 has a higher chance of being safe than door 1.
While I agree on the possibilities, the probabilities are not necessarily true. We have no information about probabilities. So you are ASSUMING uniform distribution of the 4 base combinations of doors.

The door question is, essentially, one of sentential logic. "If this door is safe, then the other door is deadly" is a normal conditional of for "If p, then q" where p is the sentence "This door is safe" and q "the other door is deadly".
The informal semantics of sentential logic tells us that a conditional will be true so long as either the antecedent (p) is false OR the consequent (q) true. Therefore, the only way for a conditional to be false is for p to be true and q to also be false. Since we know the statement on the first door is false, we therefore also know that its antecedent is true and its consequent false. That is to say, "This door (door 1) is safe, and the other door (door 2) is *not* deadly". However, since a door being simply not deadly is not exactly the same as it being safe, since the former doesn't necessarily preclude any bodily harm just fatal harm, I think the unambiguously "correct" decision would be to take door #1, the door the sign is on.
In context of the entire question it is presupposed that doors are either safe or deadly by necessity. Considering the reasoning you initially provided, door 2 cannot be deadly. Therefore, given there are no more than two options for the state of a door, door 2 is also safe. It is also to be noted that the states of both doors were questioned (as opposed to the most optimal choice for mitigating harm).
@@mr.winter538 Only if we agree to subscribe to the paradigm that allows for statements to be vacuously true. And also if we agree that the language is well-defined, of course. It is not a universal axiom that a false premise in a conditional statement always yields a vacuously true statement.
I would not suppose that people who post deadly signs on doors also subscribe to the same paradigm, and therefore I would not enter either one.
@@supershluffy Does the statement „There are two doors in front of you that are either safe or deadly” not imply the paradigm that allows for statements to be vacuously true? Considering the initially provided logic, we can all agree that the door cannot be deadly. This suggests the door can only either be safe or neither safe nor deadly. Since the door being neither safe nor deadly contradicts the dichotomous nature of the possibility of the states of each door that has been presupposed by the statement provided above, I would assume the door can only be safe. You are of course right in that we have to assume that all language is well-defined, however since we can neither test nor influence this from the perspective of the writers of the sign, I would argue this is a fair assumption to make. Lastly it is of course the best option to enter neither of the doors, since we have no reason to assume the writers of the sign were genuine, and can’t exclude the possibility of human error or false assumptions from either us or the writer.
@@mr.winter538 No, it does not imply that. For the simplest proof, we can just suppose that both doors lead to the same room of death. Therefore, even though the door on the left is deadly (i.e, even though the premise of the conditional is false), the entire sign statement is still false. Meaning that in this case, the sign does not have vacuous truth.
Further, let us suppose that the doors are disjoint, neither state being dependent or connected upon the other. Also let us suppose that a door can be safe or deadly, but not both, and not neither. Then, let us suppose that the door on the right is in fact safe, while the door on the left is in fact deadly. And then someone puts up the sign. In this situation, some people might say the sign is false (edit: I'm one of them, maybe you are too), since even if the left room were made safe, the right room would be unaffected and would not become deadly. So we have the situation where the left room is deadly (the premise is false), but the sign statement is still false. In this case too, the sign does not have vacuous truth.
Thus, we have the sign statement "if LS then DR" (SL = safe left, DR = deadly right)
In the first case, we had LS false and DR true. But there was no vacuous truth.
In the second case, we had LS false and DR false. Also with no vacuous truth.
@@supershluffy To be perfectly honest I am slightly confused. Conditional statements can only be false if the premise is correct and the conclusion is false. Therefor I do not understand how such a statement could be false when the premise is false. In this example the sign makes no statement for when the left door is deadly. However since you appear to know this subject better than I do I doubt that you would make such a mistake. I either overlooked something crucial to your point or you forgot an important part of your argument. Could you please elaborate on this further?

I had been onboard the USS Forrestal (CVA-59) for 2 years. One day, walking through the hanger bay from stern to aft, there was another sailor walking aft to stern. I stopped and said, "David?" It was a guy that I grew up with. I asked how long he had been on the FID and he said "a year." I saw him once and never saw him again. Because of our ratings and where we worked and lived, we never got to see each other again. During the time I was onboard, there were murders, suicides, thefts, drug dealing, and all sorts of crime. Like any other city, it wasn't immune to crime. Onboard there is the MAA (Master's at Arms), the ship's police. Sometimes Marines, but mostly Navy -- all carrying a 45 on their hip.

Because all the cool kids have them.
Because China
Beacuse of the heated situation in the West Philippine Sea. China is building massive military bases on islands of the Philippines, which is by the way supposed to be illegal. However our president keeps telling us that it is a friendly matter which is most of us Filipinos think that it's not.

With the need for a stable platform, especially for landing, I wonder how much thought has gone into designing a very large catamaran design. The 2 hulls don't necessarilly need to be the same length, though they can be, depends on the final design. So much more redundancy in case of a hull strike, also have capacity to move surviving aircraft to other hull. I think it's worth a new design look. Austal (Australia) already make some of the largest of the US's multihull transport ships, surely scaling up is possible to the size needed.

What if the deadlyness of the doors can be switched and the sign is there just for the occasion?
@@cookiecookie1411 > If the first one is deadly, the sign cannot be considered "false" since you don't address what happens if it is deadly.
This is terrible logic. It could still be false, even though it's not addressed. Unknown =! false. Therefore, the only thing we know is that it can't be 1.safe 2.deadly.

*A Small Swedish Submarine Entered The Chat*
But the US didn't notice.
Swedish submarine wasn’t the only one. But they like to erase things from history. Same thing with their radar invisible planes. French were like “yeah we can see them. But we won’t tell anyone. Fix it.”
@@sn4tx Serbia was like, hey look, a US stealth plane. Let's shoot it down. Oh, we did!
*a small Swedish submarine has left the chat after sinking the comments*
@@sn4tx nice baiting but you're wrong. If anything you said was true, France wouldn't be striving to build a better stealth craft than the F35. Everybody wants to undermine the United States Navy with these cherry-picked scenarios that simply would not be replicated in actual combat conditions.
Here you're talking about a submarine that has to hunt and kill an aircraft carrier. Where do you start? All of a sudden you realize right away how silly the "lol American carrier got sunk by diesel sub in wargame" sounds. The Swedish submarine had predetermined information of where the carrier would be operating, knew the composition of the fleet, and had the luxury of having time to prepare for the attack. In reality, you have to take about a hundred more factors into the equation to complete a kill chain on an American carrier with any weapon platform.
The hardest thing in naval warfare is locating the enemy vessels. Even with all of our innovations in technology, it's still not possible to precisely track enemy fleets everywhere around the world. And since the Swedish submarine is diesel, there is very little chance it will find the carrier before it needs to refuel and resupply. In reality, though, the United States would simply use its speed and range to avoid any sort of sneaking submarine into the range of the carrier.
But let's say for instance the submarine does find the carrier, however unlikely, it still needs to avoid detection. Even if the carrier is traveling at its slowest pace, it's still too fast for the diesel submarine to catch it. Cavitation happens for even the best and stealthiest submarines at 5-10 knots, with the exception being the United States Seawolf-class submarine with somewhere around 15-20 knots of speed before it begins to cavitate. The point is that even if the diesel submarine finds the carrier, the odds of it getting into a position to attack are slim as the carrier can outrun it even at a slow pace. And if the Diesel sub does attempt to travel above 5 knots, it will likely be detected by surface vessels or the opposing submarine and be hunted down within the hour.
Next, you have to assume your weapons are going to hit the target. The diesel submarine might avoid detection, but the torpedo will be detected as soon as it's in the water. At this point, surface vessels will have launched decoys to throw the torpedo of course, mess with its tracker, and anything else to screw up the kill. However, these decoys are not very reliable, and will most likely be ignored by the on-board tracker. All in all the torpedo has about a 50/50 chance of a hit, assuming the weapon doesn't fail in-transit and was aimed properly.
There are simply too many factors in a real-world scenario to really be concerned about a single diesel submarine. It would be a different story if there were dozens of them infested the ocean, but the whole "Swedish Submarine OP" is the dumbest excuse to undermine the United States Navy to date.
It's a lot more complicated than just "lol get a stealthy submarine lol"

Fine, I'll answer your sponsor question. Let A be "1st door is safe" and B "2nd door is safe". Then (A ⇒ ¬B) ⇔ (¬A ∨ ¬B) ⇔ ¬(A ∧ B) ⇔ A ⊼ B (i.e. NAND, not both A and B). Assuming the logical structure of the plate can be trusted and only its truth value is in question, this means we have the following cases: If the statement is true, then both doors cannot be safe, in which cases the first door is safe ans second is deadly. If the statement is false, i.e. A ∧ B is true, then both are safe. In all cases, the first door is always a safe bet.
nice analysis and solution of the problem.
@@yardenm15 Thanks, but I actually think it's flawed. I might have mixed up some conjunction there when I gave this task to my students, and when we analyzed it by covering all different cases if they made sense, I think we got a differet result.

I like that US Armed Forces has a separate Air Force, but then each branch has ITS OWN AIR FORCE, and all of them (especially the Navy) can be as powerful as AF itself

@@applesyrupgaming Most countries generally only have an army, a navy, and then an air-force. Then generally only the air-force has fixed-wing aircraft with the other branches only really having helicopters or some light prop planes. The US is special in the fact that it has both the largest airforce (the USAAF) and the second largest airforce (USN)
*My answer to the question is:*
There are four possible combinations
of deadly/save doors:
1=safe & 2=safe (sign is false)
1=safe & 2=deadly (sign is true)
1=deadly & 2=safe (sign is unknow/indeterminate, in other words: neither true nor false)
1=deadly & 2=deadly (sign is unknow/indeterminate/neither true nor false)
The sign is false, only when *both doors are safe.*
However, the question can be interpreted in multiple ways (like Swiffah and others explain below).
(note 11:20, the original question on Brilliant explicitly states "There are two doors before you that are _either_ safe _or_ deadly")
comp sci?
Brilliant should specify what kind of conditional they mean. If it's a material conditional, then @Æ is right: A->B is false iff A true and B false. If it's something else (e.g. a counterfactual or indicative conditional) then the answer would be different.
That's brilliant.
Thank you for this, I was stuck!
@@Swiffah145 Yeah, this was my line of thinking. You have two indeterminate states, the sign can be false, but since it describes a safe door, if door 1 is deadly, it's impossible to determine the state of door 2.

"Red shirts do all the handling and mounting of ammunition."
Why am I not surprised?
Just to let you know, a ship, including an aircraft career, has four departments: the deck department, the engine department, the telecommunications department and the steward’s department.
In the case of a carrier, these colored shirted people are deck officers and deck ratings. Below deck are Engineering officers and engineering ratings. Radio is easily the telecommunications department and food is served by the stewards department under the leadership of the Chief Steward and the Chief Cook.
1 department never to mess with is engineering. They can make sure you have cold water for your showers
There was also a portuguese submarine (barracuda) in 1983 during an exercise called "locked gate 83" wich was able to get under an american aircraft carrier (Eisenhower) that was passing by. The american ship was going to the mediterranean to replace another american aircraft carrier and so being alies, the portuguese commander thougt it was a good idea to stop the exercise and follow the strike group without telling them in order to prevent any soviet attacks. It turned out he was able to get under the ship without getting identified. The portuguese convetional sub was unable to keep the speed of the strike group tho and so when dettaching from the group it came to the surface and transmitted that they had launched all their torpedoes. The american bridge was concerned but they understood it was a joke. They ended up praising the portuguese comander and asking for it's recordings in order to study why had they been unable to detect it.

The V-2 topside petty officer gives visual reference to the yellow shirt director to hook up the aircraft to the catapult for launch.
Answer to logic problem at the end: Both doors are safe.
Proof
Let S(x) is a function meaning x is safe.
Let d1 and d2 be the first and second doors respectively
The problem in propositional logic: S(d1) --> ~S(d2)
If the statement is false, what can we say about the 2 doors
So ~(S(d1) --> ~S(d2))
DeMorgan's Law to turn implication into disjunction. Thus: ~(~S(d1) v ~S(d2))
Distribute outer negation: ~~S(d1) ^ ~~S(d2) === S(d1) ^ S(d2)
S(d1) ^ S(d2) - both doors are safe
