I was on vacation for the first time in athens around the time the uss gerry ford entered athenian waters. I wondered, was she escorted by any destroyer, cruiser, corvette? in all honesty (it's the first aircraft carrier I've seen with my own eyes) I expected to find some Arleigh Burke around it, or a Ticonderoga (rarer) or some other escort vessels...submarines? nothing? I got to see it even more closely, but I didn't see anything.
@flaviosonetti515 More than likely, they were outside of the carriers anchoring location patrolling and guarding the entrance. The carrier at anchor is at her most defenseless state outside of U.S. territory. Rest assured, she is well protected at all times while visiting allied territory.
Sailing customs and courtesies is that your ship flies the flag of the country you are porting in under your own. Military and Commercial ships do it. Not just NATO countries, cheers.
Awesome projection of power!!! So, the design is unlike the Forrestal Class or the Nimitz Class. The island is way back stern vice midships. Greater flight deck area. Better to best! If you miss the climb up to the Parthenon in Acropolis, your port visit to Athens, Greece, is incomplete. Just an awesome appreciation of how much human energy moved those huge stone pillars up the hill. On top and sitting on those steps around the Parthenon is emotional. It is equally difficult to reconcile how Venice, Italy existed.
I believe the island was pushed aft so the area forward of it can be used as a pitstop of sorts. She also has one less elevator and with the island's new location, taxiing vehicles is still more manageable and more efficient overall.
A menacing display of power to those dictators out there. Please send a copy of this "BAD" music to them-dictators; the music may mellow them down somehow.
America my love and US military my darling and best equipped force on earth, i say this with pride and arrogance, I'm not ashamed and I will not apologize for it
Well, I agree except for the arrogance part. I'm sure there is a better way than that. I don't believe that I'm an arrogant American, but rather confident. So maybe you can be prideful and confident instead. Something to consider anyway. Have a good day.
I've never seen anyone have such clearance to see the inner workings of the carrier and to be underneath and around the fighter jets! It's incredible. You even showed the room where the anchors are released! I've never seen that section before. Subscribed!
Yep. It's too bad that the US got suckered by Reagan and his Hollywood flair. The oil embargo was a bad deal for Ford. At least we've reduced the risk from future threats like that. Ford deserved better anyway.
Umm, I don't know how to interpret your meaning. I would have said, "A strong display of power!". The word vulgar has negative connotations to it. The US has a moral responsibility to use its resources to help maintain peace in the world. We don't want war. NATO was formed after WWII to help prevent war. Millions died in WWII. People (not necessarily you) keep acting like the US and NATO are the bad guys, and I'm sick of that crap. Bad actors in the world say crap like that. Anyway, have a good day.
The Black Sea is in reach - very good to know that US Navy is prepared ! The criminals in Kremlin need a clear message that the democratic states of the world do not tolerate violence - and such a message is: the closing of the airspace over Ukraine and the delivery of long-range missiles to Ukraine for the case that Russian criminals fire from Russia to Ukraine (what they constantly do). In such case Ukraine is allowed to fire back into Russia. All according to normal logic and international law.
Hooah!! I'm waiting for Russia to make a bad move. We'll sink their damn ships no problem. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy as my kids like to say. And for Putin, "Nah nanah boo boo, stick your head in doo doo, you limey bitch!" :P
While the USN doesn't send carriers into the Black Sea, it does send a destroyer there to exercise freedom of navigation. This usually draws out the ire of Russia so they will send in aircraft to buzz the ships. In the 80s and early 90s the Russians actuall sent in ships to intimidate USN vessels and even make physical contact sometimes. True story.....the Black Sea is host to the latest Russian submarine......the Slava class missile cruiser named Moskva.....thanks to Ukraine.
Need more Carriers!! And we need to get these arsenal ships fielded also! We need more bigger ships that can put out hundreds of planes and thousands of missiles, because of assholes out there who keep flexing on us!
Yes they are, they are also on some of the super carriers that has been drydocked to prepare the decks, you would think our brand new carrier would have that already apparently they do not??????@@Gridlocked
@@michaell.8513 It is best to test everything with aircraft you already know the ins and outs of. They replaced other carriers airwings first but when there is enough F35Cs it will get its own wing.
To think about all the different war vessels That body of water has seen throughout history Is kind of mind blowing.
Is is very beautifull as long is not an enemy!

Imagine being a small town fisherman in greece and you turn around and see this coming by or God forbid at you
True, but to be honest, if the ship was coming for you then you wouldn't see it anywhere. Carriers strike their targets from well over the horizon.
