Amazing video... brought me back to 1991 when I had the privilege to spend 4 days on the USS Forrestal in the Mediterranean is a civilian aviation photographer. An experience I will never forget and neither the amount of admiration I gained for these men and later women spending months at sea defending our freedoms. I will always admire them and the people who designed and built these marvels of engineering...
Don't know what you're talking about, the Forrestal never had women stationed on the ship during a deployment. We had women from reserve squadrons on board during training ops (not deployments) but the last time that happened some idiot was trying to drill a hole through a bulkhead to watch them shower and they were promptly flown off the ship. I'm pretty sure they were trying to get a look at a pretty blonde that everyone noticed.
I once visited the USS Hancock museum ship in Alameda. Otherwise USS Haleakala AE-25 USS Pyro AE-24 USS Kansas City AOR-3 USS Samuel Gompers AD-37 USS Harold E Holt FF-1074
Now imagine the impact a sinking of the US carrier would have? China thinks that by doing that they will run fear to our bones and make us heel and abandon our Pacific allies.. Chinese obviously haven't heard of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We get mad and invent world ending weapons when faced with massive casualties.. We don't run in fear.. Although looking at the current generation combined with the maniacs from MAGA that support Putin more than our President, who knows. Maybe we would run, or kiss Xi's feet (not us but the Orange Buffoon of course).

Out of all the carrier documentaries I've seen, this one stands out as the best. The cinematography is simply outstanding, and the story is incredibly compelling.
When I was 10 in 1970 I talked my uncle, home on leave from the Vietnam war, where he piloted the F4 Phantom, I was in awe, still am. God bless all who served this great country. 🇺🇸🙏
Amazing video, well done to all involved. I did 4 RIMPAC when I was in the Australian Navy. My 1st was in 77 on HMAS Melbourne CV 21, the other 3 on Destroyers DE's. This video brought back many memories and it also shocked me at how far technology has advanced. To all.... Fair winds and safe seas. ❤⚓
17:20 OMG, I had to stop just to say that i'am totally in love with this channel now bc it's one of the best looking,sounding, educational video's i've seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing these beautyful great videos. Blessings to you and your family always from Puerto Rico with lot's of love 🙏👍❤️
🇪🇺🇺🇲🇪🇺🇺🇲🗽🗽Smh people wanna criticize and find anything lil thing to complain about instead of thanking all these heros for protecting those rights and everything ur able to have wake up people u all make me sick bless our nation heros and to the amazing allies we have that make up the strongest alliance on earth 🌎 🇪🇺🇺🇲🗽🗽🗽
I agree...The narrator's comments are to make a "point". Sometimes you have to be smarter then just listening to a "script". As a "Green Beret" (Special Forces) I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks on CV66 USS AMERICA. It broke my heart when I heard that they sank her. I felt that as the "namesake" she would and should have been a "floating" memorial. God bless ALL of our military, God bless and save our country......
I clicked on this to make a snarky remark about the thumbnail showing a carrier with the island right in the middle of the flight deck, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the video.
To all men and Women that Have servered, are serving and will serve. You have my deepest gratitude, Thank you for your service. This was the best Ship Documentary I have seen to date..
Some of these guys are right, I’d Locke to see more below deck stuff! The reactor making fresh water and just all the other things that are done and maintained to keep the ship moving!!!
China was only invited for two RIMPACs, 2014 and 2016, Not one of Obama's better strategic decisions. Never again Im sure. so this could be 2014 or 2016.
As seen here: AWAC planes still in use. "Crimson Tide" Soundtrack plays on through. Winston Churchill was my late Mum's Prime Minister; his voice heard here. From 35:30 onwards, are these Dauntless Dive Bombers being launched, etc? At 40:10; whom is the Piper? What Tune is he playing??
when it is deployed how many years out of ten not deployed or in yard being refitted upgraded and maintained? and when it is one spot how many days steaming at full flank speed to get to another incident?
You cannot explain to someone who has never served what the military is like. They simply do not and cannot understand what its like to trust your life and have others trust their life to you if you haven't been there.
One thing I like about U.S. armed forces is , they put serious thought into feeding you Really well ! That's a good starter to keeping morale up . 😂 I spoke to a guy who had been an Army private or corporal in Vietnam circa '68 - '70 . As part of a platoon going out on 'recon - by - fire , largely ... He told me a chopper would do their best, while they were humping in the bush , to , along with bringing ammo , food , clean water, medical supplies, and airlifting wounded back ... They would usually bring a can of ice - cold beer in a big ice chest , for Everyone . All kinds of smear jobs were aimed at Westmoreland while I was still a juvenile , but he was certainly concerned with the well being & morale of the Soldiers & Marines under his command . Can you even imagine ? What other nation has ever gone as far as to give COLD beer , most days, to sweating guys in some crap hole, a message that we care about you , like that ? If Americans vote for politicians that ask or force men to risk their lives , everybody back in Happyland should make a little sacrifice .
Nuclear reactors on these ships run for at least 20 years, probably much, much, longer. They’ve got to put a number on it. If it weren’t for upgrades to the containment vessel, I’d say for the life of the carrier it’s installed in, then, removed and installed in the newer carrier.
What a great documentary but i've missed some of it bc i was falling asleep, i even droped my cell on my chest a few times before i got the mesage that it's just about that time to take it down & rest my neck...🤦😂😂😂🙏👍
You show me a WW1 biplane that has anything that even looks remotely close to a M61A2 rotary cannon!!! It's amazing how they get people to do these documentaries that don't have the slightest idea what they're even talking about!!!
I'm so sick and tired of these videos that only show the aviation side of an Aircraft Carrier. I was on the USS Forrestal for 3 cruises (the last 3 cruises) and ships crew was about 3200 and the airwing was only about 2000. If it wasn't for the ship's crew the airwing couldn't do their job yet none of these video show anything about what the black shoes do to support the airwing like make water, make electricity, take care of sewage, provide medical and dental care, resupply food, provide the cctv system for entertainment, etc, etc, etc. I earned my Surface Warfare qualification on the carrier and people would be blown away at just the engineering part of operating an aircraft carrier let alone everything else I needed to learn about.
Because the situation in Yemen is very complicated. The Houthis have local support and use guerrilla tactics that make them hard to fight against. Yemen’s geography and the involvement of other countries add more difficulty. The Houthis operate in an unstable environment making them harder to target effectively. The US has to carefully balance military action with diplomacy and support for allies without making the conflict worse or creating more problems in the region.
Before Trump left office, he ensured that Chinese Americans who served in WW2 would receive the Congressional Gold Medal for their service. At the time, the Chinese Exclusion Act prevented people from immigrating to the US. Americans of Chinese ancestry were deeply discriminated against, yet signed up in droves to defend America. Hats off to you and your descendants.
u wanna know what else we play in the trailer parks thats fun. address battleship. we randomingly hide in trailers and if that address is chosen and your inside, u have to pack up and get ready, once its completely sunk then that group leaves
New Zealand was involved in this exercise with one of our little frigates. We were providing "Operational support". Made me laugh. How can our little frigate provide "Operational Support" to something that could wipe out a country on it's own???
The last bit, nothing to come home to in the event of another great war... general thermonuclear warfare would have an unimaginable toll, yet the end of humanity is unlikely. If only 0.1% survive, a low figure for potential survival rate, that's 8 million humans to rebuild and do it all again. The real question is whether we could do it different.
Why?, I am not against female personnel rising to the top of their career, but based on such a short statement I can’t make that judgment at all, although she is either a very competent officer!!!!, or, and It is more plausible, she has got to the top based on her gender and the inclusivity mantra that is rampant almost everywhere in the world, but if she is the right person to become CNO then I salute her for her dedication to the United States 🇺🇸 Navy.
@@allandavis8201what an incredibly ignorant and misogynistic comment. The audacity to even question “why” and then to follow up with “I am not against female personnel rising….” For the sake of humanity please do not reproduce
The Battleship capsizing was the result of a torpedo boat attack, NOT Jutland ! and the multi-barrel Rotary Cannon was NEVER on a WWI biplane - stupid script !
That Aircraftcarrier is large enough to make hours of footage, ...but you drift away with " Historic Lectures " al the time, an that is why this video is just off topic, and annoying :(

Sad but true
That thumbnail speaks volumes as to the legitimacy of this video. A super carrier with the island in the middle of the flight deck. Priceless.
Enjoy it while it lasts, these will be known as the glory days, foreign nations have figured out how to take these out.

While I know much of this information, the production value alone had me locked it. Great video! Thanks!!!
Totally agree with you It's one of the best.
Loved it everything about it was very beautyfuly Made.. Thank you!!! 👍
You'd think the production team wouod have corrected the narrators pronunciation of Juttland.
Why is the thumbnail flipped? There are no modern aircraft carriers with the island on the port side, certainly no Nimitz class.
that was buggin the hell outta me
10-11 minute mark there were just playing recordings of ham radio operators. LOL
Oh no
FYI this film is years old. This channel somehow got their hands on it and posted it.
China was only invited for two RIMPACs, 2014 and 2016, Not one of Obama's better strategic decisions. Never again Im sure. so this could be 2014 or 2016.
Where is duteland? Is it close to Jutland?

The KC10 is retired now. An Airplane built in the 70s,... And we still won't tell anyone about the capabilities :)
Serving on U.S CV, is a dream that may never come true...
Excelent choice of music for the intro! ROLL TIDE!!
Well done 💯
They really just put a propeller on the state of Rhode Island and out here riding around on it 😆
Inviting CCP to RIMPAC was a truly self-defeating idea. I'm happy they have been finally kicked out, hope it was not too late.

How much has DEI hampered the USM? How may Admirals have been selected based on factors other then competence?
13:50 - would love to see that Vulcan 6 barrel machine gun on a WWI bi-plane. FFS, the aircraft couldn't take-off
I got those in the simulator app game like hovering cannons that can go into strike fighter maneuver s
In the age of missiles this another Yamato. A day late and a dollar short...
I was in the Navy Air and aircraft carriers could simply spin the propellers off the shaft, if they wanted to, and a top speed in excess of 65 knots
You show me a WW1 biplane that has anything that even looks remotely close to a M61A2 rotary cannon!!! It's amazing how they get people to do these documentaries that don't have the slightest idea what they're even talking about!!!

Admiral Lisa Francetti has risen to the rank of the CNO. Great to see the first woman leading the US Navy...
Awesome video thanks for sharing!
What a well made video, some of those historical sinkings were hard to watch, those exploded view graphics were top shelf though, well done.
The Rn Corvettes in WW2 were based on Whalers, not Fishing boats.
Wonderful. A woman in charge of RIMPAC. I'm sure she was chosen for her leadership qualities and not some DEI nonsense.🙄
Popyeye was a Coast Guardsman.
I’m sure he was a navel hero a simple sailor man !!!
They are powerful
That women is the most qualified person to be in charge? WTF? 🙈💁🏼🤷🏿♂️
Absolutely ridiculous. Typical of woke Navy.
With this technology and capabilities, why is it hard for them to contain the Houthis?
Because the situation in Yemen is very complicated. The Houthis have local support and use guerrilla tactics that make them hard to fight against. Yemen’s geography and the involvement of other countries add more difficulty. The Houthis operate in an unstable environment making them harder to target effectively. The US has to carefully balance military action with diplomacy and support for allies without making the conflict worse or creating more problems in the region.
