The US carriers have also been used during natural disasters across the globe as well. They provided power to cities and aid relief flights, provided air traffic control etc during the tsunamis in Japan and the Indian Ocean.
Overall a good documentary of US naval vessels. Needs only to have the title changed and some historical corrections, such as the comment about the year ironclads came about. Last time I checked I was during the Civil War.
I served on the USS Wasp(LHD_1) and had the privilege of riding on LCACs too. They can stop in the water, shut their engines down and float fully loaded if need be. I also had multiple opportunity to be dunked in an AAV to make beach landings. (USMC vet)
I was lucky enough to see the last slider back in 1994 . It was the last sub to launch stern first and slide down the ramp in grotten CT. Was a pretty cool sight for a 13 year old.
Yeah, but the Merlin engine in the P51 Mustang came as part of a total package. The Zumwalts are so expensive that their development is limited to three ships and they can't fire the Advanced Gun System because the rounds are too expensive.
HMS Argus was the first flat top aircraft carrier what this showed was the second HMS Illustrious aircraft carrier built in 1976 the first was built in 1937.
HMS Argus was built in 1918 as the first flat top carrier for planes. Cant imagine why u stated 1937? as that was the year the keel was laid for the HMS Illustrious. so where did 1976 come from?
Exactly, why do you think they didn't build a bunch of them. It was a total fail and the unfortunately the Navy found out the hard way by spending money that could have built tried and true ships instead. Ex Navy and proud of it , except for major fails like this and the Littoral ships as well. None of these worked out well.

Yup, that's what they advertised and why I'm here,they start showing a carrier towards the last part of the video but yeah this video is supposed to be about Nimitz class carriers.
It eventually gets to the carrier, but it takes a long time. This video is 45 minutes long, and gets to the carrier at about 35 minutes. It's more of a documentary on the evolution of ships, ship power, design, and capability
While I do love the Iowa Class of Battleships (the USS Missouri being my top cat!), can we also mention the Japanese-built Battleships? The Yamato was one of the BIGGEST of any battleship built, and seriously was no small fry.
The newer boats don’t have tusks in front of the cats. I went to sea on the Big E in 69.....we had a BBQ on deck 1-14-79. Had a seat on elev 2 for decommissioning ceremony. Sad day for me....she still had a lot to give.
When I was in the Navy, i have to do a 6 on and and 6 off... it was insane. withless people on the ship the watches have to be longer which puts more fatigue on the crew .
Joe mcginn if you know about that I worked the flight deck in my squadron worked all nights on the ship. The yellow shirts turned an A-7 where the exhaust was blowing me down I thought I was going over the back end of the ship. Working the flight deck is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. I was lucky to get off the ship then still on one piece.
This video is miscaptioned! It is more about submarines than Aircraft Carriers! They simply made a honorable mention of Aircraft carriers for less than ten minutes in the whole video. Dang It!
Battleships are devided into 2 main categories. Pre- and post-Dreadnaught. Battleships (ironclads). The term battleship was coined in the 1880's. The Dreadnaught didn't arrive until 1906, but had the distinction of being the first ship with standard size main gun batteries combined with other naval innovations. However, The USS Texas was built in 1892 and The USS Maine, an actual battleship, was sunk in Havana harbor in 1898.

@@daryljonesfoster4102 yea but the statement they made was naval warfare traced back to the ancient Greeks, romans and Vikings. Vikings are not even ancient, they are medieval. And non of them invented naval warfare
The Nimitz-class carrier Ronald Reagan was "sunk" by a Swedish Gotland-class sub in the Baltics during naval excercises that continued for three months and the US Navy could never find the sub. So, "unstoppable" is a bit of an overstatement...
That’s not 💯 accurate. It did happen yes but many times the sub was found first. Also that sub is being leased by the US navy to study how a conventional sub was able to sneak into a carrier strike group. But yes one of the times the sub was not detected in time
I met a US Navy young guy in Myanmar. He was nuttier than a fruitcake. I hope they don't let people like that operate anything more deadly than a bread toaster. I've met other US Navy guys, who would surprise me if they could tie their shoelaces alone. Standards must be low for recruits.
Why is the US not USING THE POD MOUNTED PROPELLERS ON CARRIERS ,to maneuver themselves in docking and on tight area...and even in cases of avoiding something. THIS TECHNOLOGY WORKS ON BIGGER SHIP VERY WELL...Like the new cruise ships all use it...also save on the use of TUGBOATS....EVEN SUBMARINES can be EQUIPT with it TO BE MORE AGILE UNDERWATER OR ON SURFACE...

@@michael_angelo Thanks for the post!! Fyi, Michael, I have since learned that they were designed this way because the piston engines rotated to port so with the island on starboard the rotational torque would send the plane off the deck and not into the island incase of a mishap and it looks cool!!👍With that being said, this is no longer a problem with jets, so why use the same cookie cutter??

Three missiles, two at the runways, one at the control tower are enough to make it a floating bunker. If it sink the fishes have a beautiful man-made coral reef.
