My grandad was ww2 Navy....he told me how they used to do this back then. I got to show him this video shortly before he passed away. Brought a smile to his face.

Before you think this is a frequent occurrence, this was actually the only time we got off that ship for 206 days. It doesn't happen every day and for a lot of people it's a once in a career experience.

Actually, this may be the best commercial for joining the Navy.

I was on that deployment. This was the first time many of us got off that ship at all. We had not hit any ports, none of us had been off that thing in God knows how long at that point in time. It was a very heart warming and really cool experience to be able to be a part of it. From working every night on the flight deck only being able to look at the water, to jumping down into it and see the vastness that is the ocean with my own eyes. To get off that thing for a few minutes. It was truly a beautiful moment in time for me

Navy, the branch with a swimming pool that covers 71% of the planet.

Dude the COLOR of that water is incredible.

In my entire 20+ year career in the United States Navy, not once, ever, did a Commanding Officer ever even once allow us to have a swim call. Needless to say, there were many times in which the issue was brought up, but each and every single time, the various Commanding Officer(s) had some piss poor excuse as to why it was completely IMPOSSIBLE to have a swim call in today’s modern Navy. I can’t even begin to stress how much something so simple would’ve helped to increase the moral of the crew during those long deployments. Here we were, completely surrounded by water, yet it might as well have been thousands of miles away.

Blessed to have served with you during this deployment. Please don’t ever delete this video. I hope me driving the ship didn’t get you sea sick lol Deck department 2020. No other carrier can ever beat us. 206 days no port.

It’s nice the Captain knows half his crew is 20 years old. They will never forget the day

[adude]

That was a sailor. Imagine if you're a pilot for the navy. Glide through air all day and finish it off by jumping in ocean and call it a day.

[RetiredM]

That’s where the name Ocean Blue comes from. Nicest blue you’ll ever see. Also looks like a lot of fun
And to all of you from an old retired Army Sergeant, Thanks for your service

I get freaked out at the deep end of a 12' pool, much less bottomless ocean. My heart would be thumping out of my chest. BTW, how is it that these guys are staying afloat? I don't see any treading going on.

[sflabred]

I dont know if it's just the camera but that water is such a beautiful blue.

[fredsalter]

Beautiful footage! I was on the USS Denver in 1989 and the captain stopped the ship in the middle of the ocean between Okinawa and Subic Bay so that everyone could swim in the pristine waters. I miss being young and in the USMC....

We had a “shark watch” posted up on a small rhib and an M4 off the coast of Hawaii

[darthgrundle]

There's is something magical to be able to say you've swam in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Not many can say that knowing the water beneath you is 2 or more miles deep.

[bobclavile]

In all my years before I retired. Only had One Swim Call once we got to the Med. It is something you never forget. Understanding how DEEP the water is, and the amazing beauty of such perfectly BLUE...unforgettable water. Below...one commented about the Navy having the BIGGEST swimming pool. Until you get to be at sea...not fishing, or for fun...for months. Only then do you appreciate just HOW BIG OUR BLUE MARBLE really is.

[soongone]

I have a buddy who is a Navy Vietnam vet. He said he was usually more worried about getting shot by Shark Watch than the sharks...

[iamhudsdent]

The sea was incredibly calm that day of this swim call. I once jumped off a fishing boat in the open sea for a swim. The water was calm, no white caps, but it was rising and falling in great planes that stretched a long ways, so that it rose above the horizon, then lower again. Over and over like that. It was one of the most unsettling things I ever experienced, the immensity of the motion, the enormity of the water, and me in it. Like being adrift in outer space. I had to get back in the boat.
