I served on the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63 from 1962-1964. It was the last oil fired Carrier and was decommissioned in 2009 and has since been scraped. The new nuclear powered Carriers might only be refueled ever 20 years but still require replenishment while under way with food, jet fuel and ordinance. Bottom Line is they are and were all amazing.
@@melwig2813 You are not quite right...JFK CV-67 was decommissioned on March 23, 2007, and the Kitty Hawk was decommissioned on May 12, 2009 making her the last oiled fired carrier.
I want to say thank you to all the brave men and women who serve on our naval forces to keep us safe here in the USA. I sleep so much better at night knowing you are out there doing your service to your country. Thank you to the brave men and women and our naval forces.❤❤❤❤❤
I served on the USS Coral Sea CV-43, between 1975 to 1977. Electronics technician. The longest time we spent out to sea was 28 days. We ran out of almost everything to include soda, milk, potato chips, and several other items. The last 8 days we had sterilized milk packaged in 1945. Nasty. That is one of the things I remember.
Wow. I was on the USS Midway CV-41 from '84 to '86. Our longest deployment was 91 days in the Indian Ocean. We too would run low on some fresh foods, but it never got as bad as you describe. Maybe we benefitted from your experience!
I served on USS George Washington CVN-73 from 2006-2008. It's INSANE how many people are crammed into that ship. Whether you were going to smoke, check out haz mat, or grab chow...lines forever. But the views from our weapon platforms were incredible. I'll never forget watching from the aft CIWS mount as dolphins chased the ship.
I was the welder on the crew that installed TV-DTS, IFLOLS, and the SPN-46 Radar aboard the Carl Vinson in 2001 at PSNS. She is by far my favorite CVN.
I served aboard the USS Independence (CV-62) a conventional powered aircraft carrier. I’m not sure what’s happened to the language but I commonly hear the ships screws referred to as “propellers”. If you called them that, when I was in, somebody would look at you and say “Propellers are for airplanes” In the last few years I’ve noticed even sailors call them props or propellers. I know I didn’t make up calling them screws, but what happened?
Not carrying diesel fuel for the ship saves over 10% of the ships capacity. Stores for aviation fuel, ammo, and crew supplies is increased. Nuclear fuel is big advantage.
Conventional don't use diesel. It's all oils or any burnable fluid sprayed into a steam boiler. Even the nuclear powered aircraft is still a steam generator to power the ships engines.
Outstanding video! Does an excellent job of showing the diversity of jobs required to operate a carrier. I liked all the closeups of the people (especially young people) doing their jobs. The video made it clear that everyone has a critical job and that every job requires a serious work ethic. I'm hoping (for the Navy) that a LOT of young viewers will see this video and say, "I've worked enough go-nowhere, low paying, uninteresting jobs. I'm gonna join THESE people and start me a worthwhile career." Expand your opportunities and your brain and make something of yourself. The Navy--the military, in general--is an excellent place to start. (I'm a Marine, but not a 'recruiter'--other than to say that it makes sense to make something of yourself.) Go for it, young folks. I wanna sleep well tonight and you can have a big part in making that happen. Good luck.
Outstanding reporting ty. I'm curious about a few things like secrecy how it's kept from leaking. Internal communications between different depts. Chain of command internally and to and from govt ty
@quetzalcoatlz some things can't be bought but outside the U.S. Im also not on a Naval carrier. You can't tell me there are no plastic and metal utensil companies in the U.S.? GTFO here with dumbass statements like. It's a naval carrier from items that are not exaxtly from pur allies, not a private home. If it said made in Britain, Germany, Japan, Taiwan even, no problems. China, problem.
The most fascinating is the people, from the designers to the constructors to the crew it is this group of people who have always and will in the future win wars. While the equipment is important it is the ingenuity, foresight, competence and most importantly dedications that make the US the mightiest power to ever exist.

It’s called a “bulbous bow.” It’s shaped as it is to increase the smooth flow of water over the hull (hydrodynamic efficiency), allowing increased speed and ease of operation.

How often does the hull get a cleaning? I have seen small boats in the water for only a year having an encrustation which would weigh tonnes. Is there a crew who dives and cleans or does the ship have to go into drydock?
I am amazed at the food services provided on these huge ships. It appears the food quality is far superior to that provided in the past. My father-in-law served in the Canadian Navy in WWII, where the food left much to be desired. The American navy was a bit better, but became monotonous. The Canadians and Brits were permitted booze on their ships (rum) whereas the Yank ships were dry, so whenever they met, the Americans traded food for booze.
Remember, things like loaves of bread are just too bulky to store, so instead ingredients like flour are brought on board. And then loaves of bread are freshly baked for thousands of hungry sailors EVERY DAY.
Reminds me of my Navy days HS-15 (Helicopter Squadron), we went to sea on the Carriers USS America (CV-66) and the USS Independence (CV-62). Some good times and some tough times. I'd certainly do it again if I could live those days over again.
Keep in mind that many of these amazing people that are responsible for some of the most expensive equipment and dire responsibilities are basically just kids!!! Amazing
What’s it like to live and work inside the hull of such a massive aircraft carrier? Are there any specific challenges the crew faces during long deployments?
In most yachts, the furthest forward item in the “nose bulb” is the bow thruster. I doubt CVNs have one, but I could be wrong. Tug boats provide fine manouvering, and station keeping thrusters are reserved for NCCs.
You forgot one huge major part of the comms systems. All US Navy warships also have fully integrated sound powered phone systems. i.e. they operate without any power applied. They are as the name says, sound powered.
Damn near like sleeping in a coffin being in those bunks, those would take me a bit to get use to. You get more sleep space in jail than we do in the Navy.
I was aboard the USS Ranger CV-611973-1976. The USS Ranger CIC had a computer under the computer operators that went from one side of the room under then to the other. CIC went from hallway to hallway. These days each operator has a computer station, the ship has wifi. Supply makes their supply orders through email so there is no need for my MOS, Radioman. They still have secure communications.
14-20 days to get a letter back from the states of your sweetheart best thing was the smell of her perfume, or the pine needles she put in the envelope for Christmas the smell of pine needles was incredible. She was my first wife only lasted until a year once I got out, I was 19 she was 17 when we got married no children together, But to this day when I smell that perfume, It takes right back to being in the Navy.
Again you forgot the people that keep the clothes clean,the hair cut,the stores to buy things at.These are the people of the S3 div without them you would have a very unhappy crew.
One area that could be added to this review would be the life boats and how an aircraft carrier crew abandons ship into and or with life preserving equipment, all 5,000 crew members.
The ship is part of a carrier group comprising several other ships and submarines. So in the unlikely event of a catastrophe on the carrier, there would be backup.
I am highly Confused. You made a circle to the HULL, Boom you are nolonger sticking to give definition and give a thorough explanation of the HULL , but now the entire Ship, WHY???????
I’m really starting to wonder why putting MASSIVE amounts of money into these things continues to be a good idea. These hypersonic missiles and drones have changed warfare drastically.
I'm interested in the medical facilities. Operating Room, number of medical staff, what are their limitations as far as treating injuries? Also is there facilities to isolate captured criminals (aka jail) or personnel who get in trouble? Are there rifles, pistols & other small arms on board?
I noticed around the 17:58 to 18:00 mark, that you are using the OOD onboard an FBM submarine. Look closely and you'll see the periscope with the orange operating ring right behind her. So, not everything is about the target!!
