It is interesting but I still prefer Top Gun's epic legendary intro aboard the USS Enterprise.

Being a former Marine who did 2 westpacs aboard amphibious assault ships, it brings tears to my eyes knowing how valuable this service is they are doing. They all have my total support and prayers. I just wish I could be there to see any part of a carrier battle group returning from overseas.

An this is from a Navy vet. Huge respect to any an all service. Whether enlisted or otherwise. You. Matter.

U can build a new carrier , but these people working hard with decades of carrier experience is the most precious assets that standing apart from the rest in naval power.

I'm glad they don't have the heavy metal music with this video. I love the natural sound of the flight deck.

Dam, I miss those great NAVY days. I love it.

ABH 2.... Loved it! The skill, the professionals, the guts, and the grit.....

thanks for the credits in the description! Im glad you all like my footage!

Never get tired of watching precision at its best.

I remember when this carrier dock at westport malaysia with uss aegis destroyer kidd back in early 2000's. We had a chance to get aboard the vessel and it amaze me the size of a hangar can fit 2 football field inside the belly of this mothership. Thank u us navy for making my wish came true.

team work at its best! Love that vid with live sound and no hard rock ! Go Navy !

So interesting to watch operations as a spectator, but do realize lots of isolationism. The do have different things to improve morale. My brother was on the Vinson, the captain was big into fishing and slowed the carrier down for people to fish off the back. A few people did, when the captain got word that someone got into a marlin...he told the ship to back up (to help reel in the fish). The mess hall ended up providing the fish for din din that day.

These carrier operations never cease to amaze me. The level of cooperation that is needed not from just launching and retrieving planes, but from every task on board right down to the resupply and the sorting and moving of goods as well as the chiefs preparing the meals! All monumental tasks and the Good ole USA does it well!! 👍

Nothing in the world matched the excitement of working the flight deck of an Aircraft carrier also very hazardous. Accidents happened people were hurt a few died. Served on USS Midway (Midway Magic) with VA115 . Also VA145 USS Range.r Worked as an AD squadron and AIMD jet shop. One of the best times of my now 60 year old life 1978-1982.

Oh, VA115, I was on the USS Midway in '83 and IO cruise in '84, AIMD IM3 division. CDR Schramm was the AIMD officer. The avionics shop was right under the flight deck O2 level port side, just aft and above the LOX plant. It got noisy while trapping aircraft especially if they bolter and drag that tail hook across the flight deck. I do not miss that part.

There was no shortage of accidents on the ship.The Flying squad was always being dispatched. First cruise there was a launch with my squadrons aircraft that one of the launch crew was sucked in the intake. He lived because his cranial helmet came off the engine backfired and he came back out the intake in a hurry. The engine did not survive.

It’s hard to believe that there aren’t more accidents and fatalities on the aircraft carrier. Great job!

Really enjoyed this video. Always impressed by the sheer numbers of crew members it takes to operate a super carrier. And the fact that the work never stops. Much respect and admiration for the entire crew, from the captain to the pilots to the flight deck, the mechanics, and everyone else who wears the uniform. Keep up the good work!

Not necessarily, the Aircraft of each Squadron with the Mode Numbers ending as "00" such as 200 are all marked as the CAG of the Air Wing, and or CO of the of the Carrier. A pilot will be assigned to fly a different Aircraft each Flight.

amazing teamwork for training purposes. On the other hand, modern warfare is no more throwing bombs but economic sanctions
