The Forrestal, Kitty Hawk, and Enterprise Class were all super carriers before the Nimitz Class.

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. ❤

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.

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.

I’m former Navy and biased… thank you for a very informative and engaging video!

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.

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.

The 'first' supercarriers were the Forrestal Class ships from the 1950's. Then they replaced the oil burners with atomics later.

There is no special technique.
They are just extremely heavily protected by their support group.

THANK YOU for posting this,
Because this has been a BIG question of mine! 😃👌

[stenbak]

It’s so odd to me that anyone thinks we built the carriers to stand alone, that was never ever even a thought

[sw_eeping]

these ships always keep me calm and entertained, i really like them

[leedex]

2:19 this is amazing. I would hate sitting in the middle of my dinner at the same time 😂

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.

È incredibile vedere delle portaerei così grandi, muoversi e manovrare così velocemente! 😊💪🇺🇲

[jeffburnham]

The very first class of modern day carriers, was the Forrestal class. They were specifically designed and built to handle jet aircraft.

[nelsonlove]

there's usually a submarine or two below the surface too...

[Chuck_Hooks]

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

[MarcG]

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
