I was on the Oriskany and Ticonderoga between 66 and 69. Both ships had one enlisted mess. I remember during non flight days, it was get in line all day long. 2000 or so crew members waiting to get fed in a 300 or so seating area. The new sailor has a sweet life on the carrier! Enough of complaining, I learned how to be proud of my navy days.

We were fortunate enough to be invited for a Family Day Cruise on the Carl Vinson in 1995. We went out of Alameda, under the Bay Bridge then under the Golden Gate.
Unbelievable. As we were going through the Bay, they’d lean the ship to the left so we could see the Embarcadero, then lean it to the right for a good view of Alcatraz. We were escorted by Firefighting “Boats” Spraying their water Cannons. It looked like that tower was gonna hit the Golden Gate. And as soon as we cleared it a lot of antennas folded up because the WOULD have hit the bridge. They took us out well beyond the Farallon Islands. That ship is FAST! I was thinking “You could pull a couple thousand skiers!” They had us all come down to the Hangar deck for Lunch. They had one A-10 Warthog to look at. While we were having lunch, they Arrested four Fighter Jets from NAS Lemoore. After lunch, we rode the Jet elevators up to the flight deck, where they commenced to put on one fine Airshow. Including breaking the Sound Barrier right over the deck. As we finally were docking at the end of a 15 hour day, the Captain thanked us for choosing “Bald Eagle Cruise Lines”. It takes a WHILE to park one of those. It was an unforgettable experience. Cheers.

Life inside is full of hardwork, accountability and uncomfortable situations that keeps one out of his comfort zones for quite a long time. Serving military is not easy but air force jobs are comparatively the easiest of all services.

Just to clarify: The carrier on the video is not a Gerald R Ford class carrier (as mentioned in the video's description). It's USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), which is a Nimitz class.
Gerald R Ford class carriers are numbered 78 and up. Ship's classes are based on the first ship of its kind, hence the Nimitz and Gerald R Ford class. All ships after that will be called that class, until a new class is made.

*Nimitz Class*
USS Nimitz (CVN-68), USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) [the one on the video], USS George Washington (CVN-73), USS John C Stennis (CVN-74), USS Harry S Truman (CVN-75), USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), USS George W Bush (CVN-77)

*Gerald R Ford Class*
USS Gerald R Ford (CVN-78), USS John F Kennedy (CVN-79), USS Enterprise (CVN-80)

Safest place to be in the world right there. Of course it has it's risks, but from a military standpoint, super safe.

My son served on the Bush as a Plane Captain for 9 months during it's maiden voyage when it was deployed to the Persian Gulf to support sorties over Iraq and Afghanistan.

They are basically little Cities on the Ocean, with it's own System of Mini Government, & Mini Economy.
It's amazing how Human Beings have this ability to work together, no-one truly understand how the entire System works, but we can all still contribute our part to the System, and at the end of the day, it works out.
Obviously no System is perfect, but it's still crazy how you don't need to know the A-to-Z of anything, but, just contribute to your part of the System, and it'll end up working just fine.

A little different from when I served on a carrier back in '92-94 but it's good to see something like this put out there.👍 CVN -68.USS Nimitz. Purple Shirt. V-4 (flight deck fuels) "Purple Maze" if any of my old deck apes are watching.

Saya orang Indonesia tepatnya saya tinggal di kota Denpasar Bali, senang bisa melihat suasana kapal induk terbesar di dunia, luar biasa

Served aboard the U.S.S. Harry S. Truman for 7 months and did 3 months out to sea with not hitting land. It wasn't the best experience but happy to have done it.
This video focuses much on airplanes and training operations vs in depth information about the ship. There is much not talked about here but I get why not.

It's awesome how this operates with cohesion.

Watched the movie "The Final Countdown" in 1980 at theater and ever since that movie Aircraft Carriers are my favorite. In around 1991 or so I was denied entry in the Navy due to failing the physical, but I always had a desire to be and work on a AC. The ones now days look amazing, like a city on water. Great video 😄👍

I was on five carriers, I don't miss them, lol!

darktoadone

Wow that's an amazing aircraft carrier it's big 💪💪💪👍💕

rathahang

It always worries me how close they park the jets to the edge of the ship

crayoneater.

Amazing how much larger she is ? wider at least! Have been to sea on 4 carriers 3 of which would fit inside of this hull, the technology is what really make her more advanced though! the use of drones and satellites & the tech. on a few of those sister ships & the ones you can't see or the subs is what truly makes this carrier group more advanced than many navy's & air forces
