I am a Medical retired Vietnam Vet. U.S. Navy. Served on Destroyers. I went overseas more than once in Naval Battle Group, consisting of an Aircraft Carrier, Battle Cruisers numerous Destroyers and it is a Majestic Sight. Few Civilians if any will ever experience the Sense of Honor of being part of such an incredible moment in History. Proud to have been in the United States Navy. ❤
The Forrestal, Kitty Hawk, and Enterprise Class were all super carriers before the Nimitz Class.
This is the true meaning of American Mucle, God bless America 🇺🇸 As a Canadian, I spent 7 years working with Americans that worked for General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, the list goes on, so warm and generous in sharing their knowledge. Some of the best times of my iife, even ended marrying an American...sad to that didn't work out.
China is now outpacing the U.S. in navy military construction. As an American, U.S. Govt. better get with the program and quit playing politics when it comes to budgets but it don't look like that will happen. Just look at the rate we commission navy ships since the Cold War (1979-1985). It took 13 years to build and send the the latest carrier on its first deployment, what used to take 7 to 9 years. Wikipedia (laid down vs deployed dates on List of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy). Woke BS politics seems to be more important here....
How Aboot! That!😀
@@Cobalt135 not to worry, most of the advanced stuff that they build is garbage and overhyped for show. At least the Soviets did their best to give the US a real scare.
The woke agendas you worry about are costing you tens of millions (assuming they get implemented at all).
On the other hand, the social and economic issues caused by blindly following your politicians like cult leaders are costing you billions and trillions in the form of wasted taxpayer money, or subsidies & tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy.
At the 2:00 mark, when you said up to 200 aircrew, you were technically correct. Only those piloting or flying in the aircraft, are aircrew. But it gives a skewed idea of how many people are aboard when the airwing is embarked. That would include the airwing's people other than the aircrew, and would add up to about 2,000 people in addition to the ship's company of 3,500.
A few years ago while in PNW I was fortunate to visit a Nimitz carrier during a public weekend. I was so impressed with the size, super organized manner of everything and of course, the graciousness and courtesy of the crew. One of the accompanying destroyers was captained by a women! I was proud to be a taxpaying American.
There is no special technique.
They are just extremely heavily protected by their support group.
And they have sharks. With freaking laser beams.
@@tenormdness Don't laugh Joe. They DO have laser weapons systems now.
When I made my last cruise on Forrestal in 1975 we had a contingent of at least 10-12 ships in our Task Force at all times, plus unknown numbers of other support warships just over the horizon and usually including an LHA, and at-least 2 Subs close by, always. I worked in CIC. You can believe that. It was even more dramatic when I enlisted in 72 and served on Kitty Hawk for a year or so. Frankly, most of the time we were only 1 of #3 active task forces in the Pacific and #3 in the Atlantic, on station or ready to go... #1 home-ported in in Mayport and #2 in Norfolk. At that time, there were also #15 active fixed-wing carrier task groups(Vietnam). But by 1975 they had #12. IF my memory serves me.
God bless the USA 🇺🇸 and its navy
I think you'll find that sky fairies do not bless anything - including navies.
Hard work, education, training, practice and application are much more effective.
Reality in other words. Try it.

@@skeleton1765 you as well
Amen, our republic needs those prayers now more than ever
Enemies foreign and domestic.
@@ryanjones3043 Your mom.
I’m former Navy and biased… thank you for a very informative and engaging video!
It’s so odd to me that anyone thinks we built the carriers to stand alone, that was never ever even a thought
Exactly. Its literally just a floating runway/air base. And no military air base would just be sitting out in the middle of nowhere unprotected.
And the funny fact is even if you are not expert on military things, you can see on every movie even of the ww2, carriers are not alone 😂
these ships always keep me calm and entertained, i really like them
Was on cva42 smaller but on it. 4yrs. Never saw all of it!!! Parked next to Nimitz in VA.our flight deck was even with their hanger deck! O ya they are 10 story's under the water line. You had to be there. Iost alot of fresbees.
@@jameswhite8968 they have a lot of room underneath if they get hit they won't sink
@@sw_eeping it will not sink but if you destroy the flight deck you have made the ship unable to complete it’s mission. All you need is one medium to large size hole in the landing area and it cannot recover planes
@@michaeljohnson4258 I understand what you mean, if it is destroyed then the plane will not be able to go home and land, thank you for the information,
@@sw_eeping you are welcome.
The 'first' supercarriers were the Forrestal Class ships from the 1950's. Then they replaced the oil burners with atomics later.
EDIT: The first nuclear powered carriers would have contained 8 separate reactors, 2 for each power plant / screw. It was then knocked down to 4 then finally 2 reactors per ship.
EDIT again... The Nimitz Class came out in 1975. 1955 first Super-Carriers (Forestall Class) ( I was on the Saratoga). Then came the Kitty Hawk Class, then parallel Enterprise Class (first nuclear carriers), then a single J.F. Kennedy ship... then all of the Nimitz Class. Now, all the up coming Gerald R. Ford Class Carriers. (One of which will be called the John F. Kennedy). So 5 Carrier Class ships altogether since 1955 post WW2.
There were no 4 reactor carriers. The Nimitz was the 2nd nuclear carrier and it has 2 reactors as do the other 11 US CVN carriers.
@@rayjames6096 The first John F. Kennedy was designed for 4 nuclear power plants. They wanted to get rid of the 8 reactor carriers to save money.. but in the end they replaced that idea and gave her oil burners.
The Nimitz would have been the 3rd nuclear carrier. So it would have been 8, 4, then 2.
@@sreed16 No, the JFK was originally the fourth Kitty Hawk class carrier designed from the start as conventionally powered but there were so many improvements and design changes that it was classified as a one in class.
The Ohio Class nuclear submarine is not a fast attack sub. I don't doubt that one might be lurking near a carrier strike group at times, but they're not there to attack other subs and surface vessels as the video states. They're there to destroy countries if need be.
🤬😱😈🪱☢️💰🤐😷🥺🇺🇲🇨🇰🇬🇧🇩🇪🇨🇵🇪🇺✡️🖕🖕🖕
It gets even better with Allied F-35B carriers such as the two upcoming Japanese F-35B carriers plus the British QE and POW F-35B carriers
The latest is QE lifts cannot be used because there seized they sent for the cheaper option instead of power lifts so she cannot be used and only 1 type 45 can be used the rest need fixed sad state of uks forces .
NATO baby 💪🏽imagine Trump wanted to get us out I wonder why
@@Ninjersey1 Trump didn't necessarily want us to get out of NATO, he wanted the rest of NATO to actually pick up their slack and provide what they all agreed on, because the US was paying more than their part
As the F35 keeps getting updated, all allied F35 carriers become not only better but exponentially better.
@@bradleyrumley763 YEAH!
This video illustrates what happens when someone knows nothing about what they are producing content about and reads a couple of Wikipedia articles and writes a simplistic generic script. There are numerous errors in fact as well as concept in the video. I suggest if you wish to produce a military or naval based video you at least have a military specialist edit it.
Word up! It's hard to watch further than the 2:12 mark for me. Drives me nuts..."capable of carrying up to 3,500 crew members as well as 200 aircrew." I don't know where they get their info from, but even Wikipedia is more reliable!
Thank you..saved me 15:48 minutes of my time.
Woah!
Agreed, some absolute bogus data points in this presentation. You're left to wonder why they bothered to post bad research.
Might be made for non-military fools like me…adrenaline inducing musical score, subs leaping up from the water, etc. Like Hollywood. Made to look cool more than based on fact. All I know, I am proud of you whom serve and to be an American 🇺🇸
The very first class of modern day carriers, was the Forrestal class. They were specifically designed and built to handle jet aircraft.
That's right. Too much inaccuracy here. Forrestal was first angled deck CATOBAR carrier, but first large carrier was built on Yamato's sister ship hull, IJN Shinano [900 ft/70,000t] - never saw combat since she was relocated in unseaworthy condition from Yakosuka to Kure and got torpedoed with a crew compliment aboard.
È incredibile vedere delle portaerei così grandi, muoversi e manovrare così velocemente! 😊💪🇺🇲
SUPER👍👍👍Hello from Kazakhstan

Hello friend!
This is why the headline reading USS Ronald Reagan visits Portsmouth U.k. was only partially true it had a strike group accompanying it U.S. Carriers never travel alone they are too valuable a asset and target
The F-35 doesn't yet have the storied history of the F/A-18, but just wait.
People of Georgia please VOTE for the Rev. Thank you all Georgians for VOTING for Rev.
there's usually a submarine or two below the surface too...
*Me doing homework*
Looks up to see aircraft carrier do donuts
Seems like the special technique is to fly the Blue Angels over you and perform so amazing aerobatics!
Amazing video thanks for sharing
All Usa blustering Vietnam Afghanistan lost North Korea still at war Uk still up against the Ira 200 yrs just easy targets steal their oil 10 yrs usa will not have enough dollars to run them already printing dollars
Do NOT forget EXPENSIVE weapon system constructed as far as a single conventional platform is concerned. Hence the costs incentives to protect today's modern CVN! Press on our United States Navy 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
Anchors up let's go fellows 🇺🇸😁🤸🏻⚓🇺🇲🚤🇺🇲🛥️🚀🔥
It's Anchord Aweigh you landlubber.
TRULY MARVELOUS
She screwed up, Nimitz was NOT the first.
USS Enterprise was first, Commissioned 25 November 1961
USS Nimitz, the lead ship of the class, was commissioned on 3 May 1975
2:19 this is amazing. I would hate sitting in the middle of my dinner at the same time 😂
🙏🇺🇸 God bless all men and women operating equipment like this and sticking together for the American people . 🙏🇺🇸⚓️
except that all this can do absolutely nothing about illegal migration as US is going down. One day at a time.
THANK YOU for posting this,
Because this has been a BIG question of mine! 😃👌
Cool vid and narration👍
Stats on the carrier are off. Ship’s company would comprise of around 3,500 and when air wing was embarked an extra 1,500 +. Would go faster than 35 mph also.
This called Power 💪
Excellent great ! By 2nd man wondering .
God bless America !!!
Nice to see the Angels

Technology & innovation
The true crew size with the air wings deployed numbers close to 6,000 personnel with the majority being ship's company. The Ford has a slightly smaller crew size due to some of the jobs being eliminated.
Talking about the Ford but shows footage of steam rising from the catapult 🤨
A carrier aint a CARRIER without nuclear power.
I once worked with a dude who served on the old Enterprise, the first nuclear aircraft carrier ever built. He told me that ship had a top speed of 50 knots. Whenever they wanted to open it up and go the max speed, they would call the rest of the fleet and order them to all turn off their radar in the direction of the Enterprise, so no other ships would know its top speed.
Wow that's Good fabulous
When I was young, I had aircraft carrier model and I painted all the planes with a needle and tiny brush and decals it was beautiful and I was Proud of all my military models tanks and I had jets hanging with fishing line in my bedroom it was kool too I'll be the Cook
i honestly think with the new hypersonic aircraft carrier destroyers you should make some anti-ballistic missile subs that way you can't lose them, and they can be placed anywhere in the world
Only the US can put together this type of force
Gilberto, I wish that was true. China will be able to build aircraft carriers like ours within two decades (maybe faster depending upon how effective they are at stealing our designs). 😢
USA is also advancing. Two decades, imagine what USA will have.@@pike100
@@pike100China doesn’t have the experience nor the right people to effectively operate a fleet like the US. They’re tofu navy & messy just like the Russian.
It ALWAYS contains a submarine
In Star Wars terms, the carrier is a super star destroyer(a big bad ship) but needs smaller ships with it for support
Nothing can support any vessel that come under a ballistic attack especially if their Nuclear Reactors get hit
Its called death star
My hero’s. The greatest navy in the world
USA´s aircraft carrier:
What a big defenceless sitting duck for modern Russia´s hypersonic missilles like Kinzal and Zircon ! (There is No defence at all against those missilles travelling 3 to 5 times faster than any rifle bullet...) USA should keep it home and stop using aircraft carriers for terrorizing third world countries....
Weird. All i ever heard while onboard the USS Constellation (CV-64), is that it housed a total of 5,000 personnel!!!!
Casually sees a F-16 Fighting Falcon on the ground during the Blue Angels segment @ 15:17. Dont care about the Blues anymore. I love that plane.
aircraft carriers normally launch planes and helicopters, but they can also launch blimps and birthday balloons - over 100 at a time
This is a great chanel.
My favorite air craft carrier
Fantastic
USA´s aircraft carrier:
What a big defenceless sitting duck for newest Russia´s hypersonic missilles like Kinzal and Zircon ! (There is No defence at all against those missilles travelling 3 to 5 times faster than any rifle bullet...)
USA should keep it home and stop using it for terrorizing third world countries.... or, sooner or later , it would meet very fast object, which would rip it in halves.
Nice
GOD BLESS ALL TRUTH,PEACE,FREEDOM LOVEING PEOPLE
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Dealing with small countries - no problems. But dealing big navy military then it is going to have big problem. For show to small countries , this is military might. But suspected the big US navy have outdated fighting spirits & equipments.
What?
You think that carrier groups that can operate in tens of millions of square miles of sea are not going going to be able to deal with large countries?
There is no other big navy even close. Despite all the hype on Chinese navy.
Name the other large country naval powers that can compete?
🇺🇸 the planet needs more unity, we could be going deeper in the ocean and further into space and increasing our longevity- but humans are petty AF🏳
Agreed
That would be very uncomfortable to have such an armada show up off your coast. Looks like 2 Nimitz class and a queen Elizabeth class or a Japanese “not” aircraft carrier
The USS Enterprise (CVN-64) U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier, which preceded by a decade the Nimitz-class carriers, was longer than they and the next, the Ford-class.
CVN-65
thats something you can learn in any strategy game xD
Lost a lot of fresbees at sea! You had to be there. Jim Gump Alabama.
I want to be part of it. I miss the ocean and getting seasick.
So what is The Special Technique US Invented? Is having many other ships to protect the carrier The Special Technique US Invented?
I suspect they are referencing the Aegis system, which is an integrated defense system that ties the carrier and support ships into a single defense "bubble" that surrounds the carrier, including beneath the sea.
The only question is which of the four aircraft carriers go down first too the bottom of the sea…….
What excellent narration! Thanks.
Just riddled with errors but sure.
Oh yes, 35 knots
The Enterprise was the first.
Go Philippines... satalite message
America needs One rampy thingy....
You don't have to sink a carrier. Just disable the flight deck.
Once upon a time, that may be true...
I'm curious what the Blue Angels have to do with protecting aircraft carriers?
A cool video would be what kind of damage a US carrier strike group could do by itself. The F35 can carry a nuke, and there's a new stealth cruise missile in development it can carry.
Imagine a US carrier with almost all F35's all carrying nukes☢️
Que voz linda
That’s where most of the economy and resources go .
Rusové by se měli začat chovat tak aby taková flotila nemusela vplout do Černého moře.
To už by je nic nezachránilo.
A to takových letadlových lodí má jen USA jedenáct.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
We don’t use ramps because we have catapult systems to launch real aircraft, a ramp to help elevate aircraft to mission, tardiness.
Ramp not go wrong unless covered in snow ? Catapults never break and have hours to repair no ?
Where will f35A land when there are no runways without holes ?
The catapults used on the new carriers are magnetic and need less maintenance, while being less strenuous on the aircraft, which means less maintenance and more money saved
@@bradleyrumley763 make it immune from breaking down does it ? 🤣
So ONE carrier with emals will save the day , perhaps you should ask the chinese to use their 003 carrier when yours breaks .
Teensy little thing you forgot ....
Massive EM waves will let your new carrier be seen from space every time it uses those emals and wont it be a missile magnet when the Chinese make it their favourite target ?
Faradays law states when you pass juice through a circuit you get EM fields , or can your carrier put up with being gaussed every time the catty is used ?
Physics, laws, Em fields and big anti ship missiles won't help your new carrier that has more break downs on its catapults than the steam version.
Could ask the Chinese for help as they seem to have got it kind of right....
@@davidrobertson5700 I never said it was immune to anything at all, I just said it's less maintenance, yea there maybe 1 but there is still 10 on order plus why do I even care about anything that china has for ships? Not a single one can cross the Pacific to attack the US, all they have the capability to do is protect their shorelines. Also there is a reason why a Carrier is part of a strike group. It just doesn't have its own defenses but others alone with it, and another thing is, the ocean is huge, so you still have to be able to find the ships in the first place.
@@bradleyrumley763 so you are telling me that all the other ships like destroyers and subs can launch fast jets ?
I don't understand how carriers can defend against underwater stealth drones? I doubt aircraft carriers will ever get taken out above water at all, it just doesn't make sense, but below water, I feel like they are extremely vulnerable. Only thing I can think of is some sort of under water signal jammer, but autonomous drones don't require a signal.
They’re not. Even when hit directly that carrier will not sink esp with drone attacks. They may cripple it but will not sink.
I love 💕 F -18 hornet I 💕 love F-16
This mult billion dollar carrier can be sunk by a swam of undersea nuclear powered Cruise missiles, it will have very few,if any, countermeasures
Yeah carriers this and that but have you ever chained down a cobra attack helo in a storm on a LPD or destroyer? That shit is scary.
Work
Subs always around a Strike group
Fired them all.
Any carriers anywhere in this world are very protected from above as well as below at all times. Wether the strike group knows it or not. There are forces unknown and unseen at work at all times. Just saying or not saying.

if this is inaccurate, maybe that is okay
When was the last time the US Navy was really in action though?
Actually Blue Angle aircrafts are indeed Combat ready. Only the smoke generators are not OEM. Lol....
no a strike group is a aircraft carrier and the supporting warships including a sub.
What makes any aircraft carrier capable is not any one or multiple systems aboard ship. No! The Carrier Taskforce (formerly Battlegroup)or Strike-group as a whole makes the Aircraft Carrier a forematable capable weapon system.
Byron, the word you wanted was *formidable, NOT *forematable.
@@pike100 Thanks! Typo.
You forgot to mention the two attack submarines
Bless our Vets 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸
These were invincible 20 years or even perhaps 10 years ago but now technology has caught up so much that anything and everything is sinkable. E.g a swarm of hypersonic missiles as well as a swarm of ai enhanced torpedoes.
Or an army of interdimensional aliens
Nobody has yet to build a large enough swarm nor do they have the long range detection and targeting needed for it to work.
@@pinkypink5161 you sure about that??
Still much better to have them then not lol can get where we want in the world pretty quick
Also same reason you mentioned double that why commies will never make over the pacific 😂
a drone that can move side to side up down with propellers on its side wings technology Ai can scan in coming missiles miles away
