- An american aircraft carrier is on a mission for months with about 5,000 US US sailors on board. It is very vulnerable and therefore there is a high probability of someone dying on board. The famous flight deck where planes take off and land is also used for funeral ceremonies when someone dies on board. What happens when someone dies in the middle of the sea and why is the burial carried out at sea and not on land? US Navy Burial at sea.
In a scenario where the deceased has to be taken to land while the aircraft carrier is on deployment, the body is placed in a body bag and stored in a freezer known to sailors as a reefer. This storing procedure is to preserve the body until the deceased can be transferred to a morgue. The naval term for transferring a dead body to land is called Personnel Transfer. Unless the vessel is at war or engaged in a battle, the deceased can be Pers-Trans'd to a medical examiner in a couple of days. Otherwise, the body might be preserved for weeks, sometimes months. However, if there is no request to deliver the body to land, the sailor is buried at sea.
There is a standard procedure for a disposition at sea. Everyone attending the funeral must be appropriately dressed in the Uniform of the Day. The adjutant, also known as the Officer of the Deck, announces "All hands bury the dead'' to the members of the ship. If possible, the ship is brought to a stop. All colors of flags aboard the ship are then brought to half-mast. #aircraftcarrier #usnavy #burial

My Dad was buried at sea he was a corporal in the Army Air corps from WWW 2. He also worked with the naval air system command for almost 40 years. He was buried in the Gulf of Mexico off the deck of a destroyer. The ship filmed it and sent us a flag 21 shell casings and a ocean chart were it was performed . We also got a letter from the CO & chaplain of the ship. It was very dignified . Thank you for doing this video.
My Dad was in major sea battles in the Pacific theater during WW-2.He told me
I am a Honorably Retired (Disabled) US Navy Sonar Tech of 11 Yrs. I was a "Tin Can Sailor", I had the Honor of Being involved with TWO of my Shipmates that have been given the Honors of a Burial at Sea. It Broke My Heart to See them Given to the Sea as they have Given THeir Lives to the US Navy. I hope that Someday My Family will Honor My Wishes and Return Me To the Sea so That i My Join My Fallen Shipmates. "Fair Winds and Following Seas, Rest in Peace to the Sailors Who have Given Their Lives for Our Freedom".......
Rest in peace to all buried at sea. Thank you for your service. Prayers to their families and friends.
My father was a USN officer for 36 years (WW2, Korea, Vietnam). His ashes were burried at sea. My mother, a US Marine during WW2, had her ashes buried at sea at the same location, when she died several years later.
My dad was buried at sea. He retired from the Navy after 22 yrs. He was on carrier’s, however his burial took place on a Sub. We received a DVD of the service and a handwritten letter from the Captain of the boat and pictures. We also were give the exact coordinates where his ashes were spread. It was exactly what he wanted and deserved❤️🇺🇸
Found this video helpful as my husband is retired Navy and has requested to be buried at sea. He loved serving and said I have the final say of his remains,but I would honor his wishes. Thank you to all that have served our country.
I was stationed on the USS Coral Sea, MarDet from 77-80. This was part of our job and we did quite a few in my 2 plus years. Very dignified way to say thank you for your service to a veteran who served our country. Semper Fidelis
My son is in NAVY 💐🌹💖💙🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have also read a few stories of military members of an opposing force whom have died on board a U.S. ship. The military honors were given to them as well. Respect to an enemy is surely one of the greatest dignities I have heard of from U.S. forces. Kudos!
As one my ships Navy Corpsman I had the honor to be a part of a burial at sea for a Army veteran in 1990, releasing and watching the casket slip away into the cold dark water was something that I will never forget.
My Dad was a WWII naval officer who took command of an LST (landing ship tank) at sea when he was 23 years old (battle field promotion) - Guam, Leyte, Green Island, Marianna invasion - his last mission was to steam to Tokyo for the invasion and on the way the bombs were dropped and it became a humanitarian mission. He survived all of that and died at 85, in 2008, after raising 8 children. The navy came to his funeral on Cape Cod, paid him honors with an honor guards and taps, guarded his coffin until it was lowered, then move to my mother and stood guard with her until she left,. It was one of the most moving scenes - my father was so proud of his service and the navy stood by him until the end - still choked up when I think about about it - go navy and their traditions!
Thank you to all the service men and women who have served our Country to keep us safe. You are my hero.
A 5 Generation Navy Family here. My Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, 3 Uncles, 2 Cousins so far have all been buried at Sea. As will I and my 2 Brothers, my Daughter and my Son when the time comes.
My 19 year old son is currently serving and this made me cry. I would not want him buried at sea. I never knew this but it would be his choice 😢
I did burial detail on board of the USS Kitty Hawk during the mid 1980’s. It was a solemn time and we showed respect. I am honored to have participated.
My dear friend, Tom, was buried at sea after died from a sudden heart attack in 2016. His dad was a high ranking retired Navy officer and they accommodated the burial. I still miss him everyday.
It’s Beautiful!
I think this is a very beautiful and respectable way of showing respect to the fallen soldiers and retired veterans...My dad was in the Marines and grandfather was in the Army and he fought in South Korea this made me think about him because although he was not buried at sea he was buried in the cemetery along with other fallen soldiers they did a 21 gun salute to show his gratitude for his service and presented my grandma with the flag and the location to where he is buried...This made me think about him...My gratitude goes to all those fallen soldiers and veterans for their service and to all those who are still servicing thank you
As a retired Navy chief I have already made all my arrangements to be buried at Sea off of carrier since I worked on the flight deck 🇺🇸
