That 5,000 people can cooperate for such an extended period is a miracle.
Sometimes personality do clash at times.
they are being paid well to DEFEND THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER EXISTED ! AMERICA!!!!! paid with opium and oil from the middle east....
if you believe that you're a moron
its what Americans can do when politics are not involved and Americans can be Americans and serve America and not a political party....God bless America ....to hell with Politicians that divide our country. Retreat Hell
Seriously. Especially in such a confined space. Me and my coworkers can’t get along and we work in separate parts of the building 😂
I love Navy ❤ I'm a Veteran 1974 Firefighter, and Born on Veterans Day 11/11/1953 God Bless America and All Service's and 😂 God Bless you.
Thank you for your service!!
I had the honor and privilege to serve in the US Navy from Jan 1985- Dec 1988. I was assigned to EA-6B Squadron VAQ-134 (Go GARUDAS) at NAS Whidbey Island, WA. We deployed on board the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), a mighty aircraft carrier/warship. I have only positive memories of my time in the military, especially my time aboard the mighty Carl Vinson....what an incredible experience!!! My family and I are indebted to and grateful for all of our nation's sons and daughters who serve in our nation's world-class Navy. We pray for your safety and are thankful for your sacrifices in the protection of our United States of America, and her interests. THANK YOU ALL for your service!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you for your service!

Thank you. Bless our Vets 🇺🇸💙
Many carrier deployments as well as the P3 Orion for a short bit. Served from 1983 to 2003.
Me too 2017-2022 Cvn 72
Three carriers I served on,😮, USS Enterprise, Midway and Independence🤩, my old school trio :) but I loved every minute of my 20 year career from May 1984 to July 2004🤩. All I have is my most fondest memories of my shipmates/extended family. A million thanks for your dedication, friendship, and to those who serve now and in the future, I am extremely proud of you 🤩have fun, lots of blessings😇
I want to be like you! I wanna do my 20 years in the navy 😊
🇺🇸🫡🏆! Somehow only being able to say to you and so many other Dedicated & Conscientious Present and VETERANS “ BIG KUDDOS & 🙏🏾” doesn’t go far enough. God Bless. NRN. NoBody - Always 99.9% CORRECT and on 🎯.
I plan to enlist in the Navy very soon as an AD - Aviation Machinists Mate.. I’ve heard that they have both sea and shore duties but i really want to maximize the best I can get out of my contract/ rate given that it is an aviation rate at that but... in other words: I know it’s probably left best to my dream sheet but are there other ways I can maximize my chances of landing a spot on an Aircraft Carrier?? I really want to be on one of those floating cities, so many moving parts, so many intricacies and logistics, i like that and i really want to be a part of it all. Any help, advice, or response will be highly appreciated! Thanks if you’ve read this far.. -jake

I have the utmost respect for our servicemen and the sacrifices they make to preserve our freedom!
God bless all who serve and protect and safeguard our country, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I salute the dedication of these men and women of the US Navy on board these ships to protect the nation and the world.... Congratulations and best wishes on your great sacrifice... Long Live the US Navy and Long Live America!!!!
God bless all who served in the armed forces of the United States thank you all.
God doesn't exist
Thank you US Navy and to all brave soldiers serving anywhere in the world for keeping the peace and protecting our FREEDOM.
I served for 7 years as an MAA. I never went on a ship, so I love learning about what it was like through documentaries, LOL. I was a "sand sailor". Served in Guam, Bahrain, Afghanistan, and the Naval Academy.
You were lucky.😅
TAD/MAA while the Forrestal was Philadelphia Naval shipyard. 83-84.
@@JusticeAlways My buddy was on the Roosevelt during the COVID lockdown, I count my blessings most days... hahaha.
All ya really missed was more atrocious regs and the foreign women they made it worth while 4 me.. Not the regs though
I served on Guam as a radioman seaman for two and one half years , on NAVCAMS WESTPAC IN THE 70'S
2004 I was a security guard for the destroyer Saratoga, when it sailed into the port of Bar, then the country of the SRJ. Man, it was a five-star hotel, but a hotel armed to the teeth. America has awesome ships
💙
💙 I served on the USS Caron DD970 in the early 90's. You have summed up life aboard ship perfectly. You could show more about the rough seas, some people I tell really do not know what it means like to list back and forth and to have waves going completely across the bow. I was a HT/DC search and rescue swimmer.
Or having your head and stomach turning to and fro at the same time.
but how was the food and other amenities they didn't have when men fought in real wars in a real military during the world wars?
When did you server on the Caron what was your rate? I was there 90 - 95 STG2

I love our Navy and our country as embarrassed as I’ve felt in the last few years I still love The United States 🇺🇸 ❤and would never live anywhere else and feel blessed to have been born here and have so many generations of us we don’t even know when either side of my family got here but we have been in the Navy four generations and love this country and our countrymen and God Bless The U.SA. and the people who have served and are keeping our freedom and country safe ❤
Thank you and your family for generations of service!!
Life on Navy ships is impressive, educational, and insane all at the same time! We received many requests to create a longer video about these three fascinating ships. So, here's the marathon! What do you think of it? Leave a blue heart to show your respect to all the men and women defending our country. Do you work on a ship, or have you worked on one? Let us know your experiences so we can enjoy them too. Let's spread these stories to make more people aware of this world and show how impressive life at sea is. Let us hear from you! 💙⬇️
nice information
Once again the US military is the perfect example of how a socialist society works effectively even if the country it defends opposes socialism. Insane paradox isn't it?
Well one can say any aircraft carrier is in much better shape than Joe Bite me... It's steadier faster and makes total sense...
@@arturomeaux4158I was on the USS Randolph C vs 15 during the Cuban chris in the 60s. We were headed to the North Atlantic. But we we were turned around And headed. We were told there was a submarine out there to be on the lookout for it. Someone eating in pilots were coming in off of patrol and they spotted Periscope right on our fantail it was a world war II Russian submarine. That was really scary. He could have put a fish in us anytime.
A lot of information about weak points of this toys.
I nearly joined the Royal Navy when I left school at 16 but I preferred the "man, boots, rifle" mantra and joined the British Army instead. If I had joined the Royal Navy, I'd have gone for the submarine service, its the ultimate test of a sailor.
I served on the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN 71 from 91 - 94. This show did a good job showing how well ran the ships are.
What was your rate?
*91-94
I served on Roosevelt from 94 - 97.
Had a friend that was enlisted in the Navy, he said the hardest part when getting back to land, was adjusting to color. He said all he saw for months at a time was different shades of gray.
Yes there R more than 50 shades of Navy Gray. None of em you want to remember either. Not fit for a basement dungeon...
Proudly served aboard USS Nimitz with VS-24, two Med cruises in the early '80s.
My dad was in the navy in the 60s. He absolutely loved it! For all the sailors 💙. I myself am very proud of each and every one of you. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you all for your service. I served in the Navy 1985-89 USS Barnstable Cty 1197
Thank you for your service as well!
I gather people most be above average to be part of this unit.god bless you and your family and friends Aman ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💙 I enlisted in the Army, I did consider the Navy when Battleships were still commissioned because I wanted to be on those 16" Guns. I became a 13 Bravo Cannon Crewman on the 8" 203mm M110A2 SP Howitzer which was sufficient enough for me.
this is a 5 star restaurant in terms of food!
I was in the Norwegian Navy in my youth, and once we had a gigantic, american submarine visiting! It was like five times longer and several times wider and taller than our own, tiny subs, that only had 20 officers and two privates, haha. But they were meant for different tasks, of course, no trans- atlantic voyages or anything, just short trips in our " fjords"..:)😊
This is the most amazing piece of equipment in the world. I love to watch these videos. The way their jobs come together to keep that ship moving and keep us safe is just amazing!!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ salute.
Served on the Ranger Indian Ocean. 79-81. Life long memories. Proud to have served. VAW-117
I was on the USS Camden when the Ranger collided with a merchant ship. We had just left Singapore. Our captain called General Quarters and frightened everyone. I could see the Ranger from my GQ station. She wasn't far away. It was still dark, and all her lights were on. She came alongside the next day. There was a big hole in her bow. We all had to turn around and go back to the PI.

I served aboard thr United States Navy Destroyer DD978 USS Stump named after Admiral Felix B. Stump from 88 - 92 God Bless America and The United States Navy 🇺🇲🇺🇲

If Not America, then Who? A big thanks and much respect to all of those who serve and protect America and her interests and people. Hats off to every one of you and may you stay safe.
I have had the privilege of watching the restoration of a destroyer in Galveston TX. Such an honor to see that project. We also have a park (Sea Wolf Park) with an old destroyer and sub.
Salutes, &hugs to all our sailors! ❤ couldn't find a blue one!
God bless the USA, and our unbelievable service members . US ARMY,. US NAVY, US MARINE CORP, US COAST and US SPACE FORCE.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲!!! GO HOKIES!!
Um, you forgot the USAF. Space Force isn’t the Air Force.
@@fancydancer2016 I did ,Thank you im ashamed of leaving anyone of our GREAT MILITARY out.. I would never leave out any of AMERICAS HEROS. I know heros dont wear jerseys with team names on it . HEROS have a flag on shoulder, The AMERICAN FLAG🇺🇲. God bless the U.S AIR FORCE and all our MEN and WOMEN that defend and make our country the best in the world!!!!!
💙 Thanks to those who protect us by going into Harm's way!
This video was very well done! Thank you for sharing it here on KZhead!!
I have much respect for the men and women that stay at sea months at a time. Incredible people. I served in the USAF in the 80s. Loved it. I never got to go on aa carrier but would love to. God bless all that serve. I feel like a war is coming
My brother, God rest his soul, was on the USS Nimitz while she was on sea trials after the Navy acquired her.
It's wonderful. Imagine living in a moving city in the middle of the ocean. That's cool. Mostly incredible is the numbers of people's living in there. That's the power of USA 🇺🇸 .
I was able to view one of these aircraft carriers when I was driving through Miami, Florida and it's definitely a man made marvel!
I was able to do a Tiger Cruise on the Nimitz last year 2023 with my son. Was a blast seeing a ship that big move. I was stationed on a DD and FF when I was active duty in the 80's - 90's so seeing this close up was great.
Ignoring the enhancement of humans will inevitably be a key downfall when countries in conflict hold no barrier to this idea. My father served in the Navy; entering Pappy Boyington's squadron and retiring from service within the Pentagon in mid-60s. Dad was versatile, but it was the passing of his only sibling, a sister and her death at 22, who was assisting on a Navy ambulance having roll off a mountain that I believe really motivated my father’s career.
USS FORRESTAL CV-59 82-84 Mediterranean Indian Ocean 82. Lost seven souls on that deployment. Average loss of life per six month Carrier deployment was five souls. Semper Fortis Semper Fidelis Until Valhalla Brothers
How did they pass away? Work accidents?
Back in my day sailors died from total bordem and dope more likely than anything else.. Or they found life in another place and never returned... I kinda envied a few of em till heard what happened to em years later
Five souls by accidents, one heart attack, and one by suicide.....
Five by accident, one heart attack & one by suicide as we pulled in from deployment to home port.
We had one on the Enterprise in the late 70's. The idiot was killed by huffing refrigerant . His body was found laying next to the tanks dead.
I don't know why KZhead algorithm made me bump into this video.💙💙 But, I was too weak to skip because of the content itself. Extremely informative and attractive. Thank you for uploading.
I was on board the USS Nimitz back in 1988-1990 assigned to the communication division as well as a member of the Kitsap County search and rescue, bridging the Navy and local communities and I would gladly do it again even at the age of sixty
God bless those work in the armed forces...thank you for keeping us free....Philippines here.
But ur president Duottet or whatever called formal president Obama a son of a bitch, sadly Obama was so cool and gently man, if ur president say such to Trump he would've deal with ur "Pablo Escobar Philippines President "

I'm a first class Marine Electrician at a major shipyard. Our job is to repair and upgrade this ships. Currently we are working on the USS Kearsarge...LHD-3. this is a huge contract because we're doing a complete make-over. I can hardly wait to see the final result
It's a true saying . . . IN THE NAVY ---> You either sink, or swim ! 🇺🇸
Thank you for your Service, and for preserving our Freedom!
I love watching on deck footage of launches and landings when it's full on, it's like a well drilled dance. The coloured shirts and jackets they wear to show which job they do is a really clever idea. I also enjoy watching the ship to ship replenishment procedures as it is extremely complex and dangerous but they make it look like a walk in the park....
There ain't nothin like the Navy life opening a door and almost getting french kissed when ya run into someone forehead to forehead or when U R on the other side of a steel door and it totally mashes your beak, I mean nose. And like when the hangar decks up top gets swamped out and ya slide genitals first into something really solid like even your own tool box... ain't nothin like the Navy life cept when ya get to them secluded island resupply areas and ya realize the girls are all naturally the way they are not on dope and stuff and they actually have a natural chest... Its all good from there.. Stay too long with one of the natives some big Marines will be along to haul ya back to reality nightmares..
Same here. I love watching the almost ballet like work as the deck crews send our GREAT Navy pilots off and back onto the ships deck. I was US Army 1966 thru 1973 and in many ways envied Navy guys and gals having plenty of good, well prepared food, a dry rack, close at hand medical facilities and recreation nearby. BUT floating over the seas of the world scared hell out of me (I was afraid of big fish!) and since my Step Dad was retired AF I didn't want to join that branch. No,, I wasn't overly disappointed that I was Army Artillery BUT,,,,, 🙂Loved this documentary.
Wow, that's incredible! Love seeing innovation in action.

Fantastic video 🙂 I'm Canadian and Love the USA and the Constitution. I have a copy, right here, on my desk. I really appreciate all that the USA does for Canada. However, I don't think we deserve it. Our current Government is useless, in my view. Maybe the next Government will be more supportive of the USA. There are dark clouds on the horizon. We need to see the coming storm and work together when it's upon us. I'm much too old to go to the US and join the Navy or I wouldn't hesitate. Thank you again. I Love you people. Stay Strong. the World depends on it 🙂 💙
