Spent a lot of time on the flight deck of the uss enterprise as a red shirt "Ordnanceman" in the 80's. What an unforgettable experiance. I still think of it daily 30 years later.
We fabricated all of the haul components at the company I retired from. From bow to stern, port to starboard, for 78 and 79. The service life is designed for fifty years. It was a good job to work on.
I too served in the USNavy from 1978 to 1982 aboard the USS Midway stationed in Japan. My next assignment was aboard the USS Bruten(?) FF1086 fast frigate placed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I would certainly have enjoyed serving more time in our USN. But I was discharged OTH. My fault for having to leave. So Thank you for allowing me to share, if even a little bit, of my experiences.

@@karenhumes8689 China only has 2 carriers and one of them is a decommissioned carrier from Russia. We own the sea because we own the air. If you want to know what it's like to go up against a US carrier battle group, find the biggest wasp nest you can find and swat to with your hand, the nest won't do shit, it won't have to, they own the air.
Cool to see some unusual shots in this vid like from the maintenance bay and the control pit on deck. And as a Dutchie my heart skipped a beat to see the Zeven Provinciën frigate alongside the Ford 🥰
@@julioaranton5223 China will use everything to get all the information as much as possible. Many of Democrat politicians got trapped or bribed by the Chinese spies. That because majority of Democrats don't have nationalism. That's why majority of US military are Conservatives.
What freedom? We’ve always had freedom… this is for invading other countries. Waste of fucking money. No one but corrupt, old politicians want war. Normal people, civilians, want to work, eat, fuck, sleep, have fun… no one normal wants war. So much wasted money, minds and young people are wasted fighting each other when we could be working together making this world an amazing place
Britain which was the Queen of the Seas until WW2,made a fatal mistake of not having Several Carriers of this Class. If they had done so,the Title still belongs to them.
@@roberthudson1959 I did not say during WW2,i said post WW2, it allowed it self to be too dependent on the US MILITARY,which is ironic considering thee USA is a former British Colony. A fatal mistake of not having Nuclear Powered Carrier considering it's a bulwark against authoritarianism. Another fatal mistake is them leaving the EU,Damn Brexit.
Velika Britanija i SAD su jedna vojna sila, jer te dvije zemlje od 1914 djeluju kao jedna mega super sila, a to potvrđuje i naziv "ANGLO AMERIČKA SVJETSKA SILA". U Bibliji se ta sila opisuje kao DVOJNA SILA, koju čine dvije moćne države i piše da će ta sila biti zadnja dominantna svjetska sila, prije nego Jahve Bog uništi u Harmagedonu sve države svijeta i zavlada njegova vladavina, Božje Kraljevstvo !! Britanija nema potrebu razvijati zbog toga paralelnu mornaricu, jer mornarica SAD je zajednička mornarica.

U.S. Navy is the top shelf! I was just a little surprised that the carrier was named after President Gerald Ford who did what as President? Oh, he pardoned former President Richard Nixon for his Watergate crimes. Other than that what the hell did he do as the leader of the greatest country on the planet? .......................still waiting.

You might not like it, but it's been a fact since December 2024 that the days of the power-projecting aircraft carrier are over. One Oreshnik missile at Mach 10 is totally unstoppable apparently. Think about it.
On 1-14-23 I was awakened by my weapons officer 1st class Sionni of a hostile intent coming at a high rate of speed. I immediately went to the bridge to get some type of radio conversation. I herd nothing back after several attempts. I ordered my weapons officer to lock n load the B1block, one last attempt was made to no avail. I deemed this as a hostile and suicidal attempt and ordered a volley of 4,000 30 mm rounds stopping the deadly threat immediately. I depose & say I am rear admiral Albert LABonte a 34 year combat war veteran. I will do anything to protect the men and women of my ship. LIVE FROM THE LARGEST CARRIER GROUP ON THE GLOBE.

I like your hilarious reply to the comment above ! On 1 of the previous answers ,I did serve aboard the USS Midway from about mid summer (?) 1978 to my next assignment aboard the USS Brewton placed in Hawaii until I had to leave our military in late August 1982. Once again I very much enjoyed serving our country in the Navy. Thank you again for your question above and the reply given! Roger Ruuska aka Tootkaylok.

Clickbait, just sailing around the ocean and launching and landing aircraft far away from any trouble is not in Action. Where has the Ike gone to like the Red Sea, off the coast of North Korea or China? Has any of their aircraft been in battle?
Because of these very brave and highly trained military personnel, I sleep very well at night as a USA citizen and God fearing believer. p.s.: If you desire further education, I would happily oblige.

No WW2 era Navy had nuclear carriers, and winning the war almost bankrupted the UK. They could not have afforded to build a carrier fleet.

The world's biggest aircraft carrier "to date" that should be. Its like the biggest number in the whole world, and some 5 year old shouts "and one"
Technically, it isn't even the longest carrier in commission. USS John F. Kennedy is 20+ feet longer.
What is the difference between a jet engine and a co-pilot?
The jet engine stops whining when the plane shuts down.
