The Eisenhower is truly cursed. That ship has probably seen more back to back cruises in the past decade than any other in history lol.

I didnt know aircraft carries were operated entirely by air people. I didnt see a single non-air enlisted in this.

I always see those magnificent ships, mighty war machines, keepers of freedom at sea. For most of my life, this was the most important point for me as a foreign US patriot. To see a Nimitz-class Carrier or an Arleigh Burke cutting through rough seas. But the decision to focus more on the crews of those ships, the men and women on board hits really hard. Now I'm too old to be my first choice of work, Yellowjacket. I see what they do and think: Your legs would kill you in a day, never mind the twelve-hour shifts on board. Now I see these young people, much younger than me with envy and proudness and a bit of jealousy. I mean, they are what? twenty years old? Twentytwo? I live in Germany and they are the reason I don't worry about Russia or China. I see them in the news and the television and read about them. It's not always about who has the best ships, planes, rockets and what else. If you break it down it is about people who left their families for half a year, sometimes longer to risk their lives on the most dangerous place of work of all time. And they don't make it for the money (I think). They do it for their families and friends and comrades while we at home discussing and nagging about what they do and if they should do it. But we only can do this because they patrol the seas, clear the skies and make way on the ground. I don't know, but seeing them I don't think of Top Gun anymore rather than of the feeling of guilt and thankfulness and the god damn courage to choose a dangerous job over money for people they don't know and who sometimes hate them without knowing what it takes to be a soldier, sailor or airmen. They are so young and hold the world as we know it on their shoulders and in place. Sometimes they make mistakes, sometimes they are dropped because it is convenient at the moment, but in the end, they are the reason all of Europe, Lain- and South America, North America and great parts of Asia can life their lives every day without worrying about their neighboring countries, food, energy, education or a roof over their heads. And that is the reason I love the USA, its military apparatus... and for a way too short time the men and women who make all that happens. Thank you.

Go Navy! God Speed! Keep the Faith! 🎆🇺🇸🤙👊🦅

True, congratulations you made it home safely.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[faithabrams]

Hello overseas people. The son of my seminary classmate now serves on this ship. I hope our countries will manage without conflict. Zircon hypersonic missiles will not even be visible to such a miracle of technology until they are flooded. Pray for peace. You can see better than others from the deck that wars do not bring peace to the planet.

[ThatCarGuy]

Keep it up, best armed forces in the world.

God I hope that when I join I get deployed on the carrier with the funny number on it.

Mis her, was on her 1st Med cruise back in 78-79. Had to fly off of her on Mamie the COD on emergency leave to bury my mom.
It's weird I was working night ops on the fight deck that night and knew something was wrong because I had a hard time focusing on my job and that's one thing you don't want be is unfocused on a flight deck during night ops. After I got off shift at 0700 I was called up to the ready room of our squadron and there was my Master Chief and the XO. I thought I was in trouble for something and they show me the RedCross message.
I was 23, now years later I saw the IKE in Port and always wanted to know how to get back on board one last time for a tour. If anyone know please let me know. Thanks
