Last year I had a US East coast vacation that took in Norfolk to visit a Royal Navy friend who is based at NATO Command. He arranged for us to meet an active USN pilot, 'Mayhem', at NAS Oceana. As we approached it seemed the sky was full of Hornets! So much noise! Mayhem was a great guide: he showed us around an F18 cockpit (although he could only show us one which had the MFCD removed, for security) and when I showed him how I'd learned to start up his ride from DCS he was a bit surprised! It was a massive pleasure to meet an active Navy Airman and an honour to buy him a few beers and talk aviation crap with him later. I still can't believe people fly planes into ships for a living. My Father did 22 years in the Royal Navy, too, most of it fixing the shit that the fly boys broke.

The Fujian is not combat ready. When they launched it last year it had no catapults, arrester cables, flying control positions, radars, and that's just the visible parts.

This was fun... but if a fleet was making it's way to Norfolk... every Airman, Marine and Sailor.. and even the Coast Guard would be all hands on deck and they'd be bringing in reinforcements from whereever they could from the second they realized there was a threat

As funny this is, as a former sailor who served at NAS Oceana, (the Beach) the Navy wouldn't let anything like this even close.

They wouldn't even need AWACS to see them coming. There's a suite of 11 air and surface search radars in the immediate vicinity of Hampton Roads, so they would pick up on them pretty quickly.

God, those 54 Raptors at Langley would be an absolute nightmare to deal with if you couldn't prevent them from taking off.

Former US Navy vet here. Biggest complaint I have with the video is that no actively commissioned US navy ship is ever "inactive". It will ALWAYS have part of the crew onboard lead by the CDO (command duty officer) usually of department head level or better. This part of the crew is called the "duty section" and is made up of crew from ALL departments (Ops, Weaps, Eng, Nav, Deck, Supply, etc). The ships crew in "Home Port" may have as many as 6 sections (so 1/6 of the crew onboard at all times). Away from "Home Port" you are looking at either a port/starboard section (1/2 crew on board and 1/2 crew on liberty) or a 3 section (1/3 of the crew onboard). The main idea for this is that its the fleet recommended number to be able to get a ship underway AND fight if needed (think run from a storm/hurricane or in case of attack from from non-friendly forces). Even if the ship is tied to the pier, she can still fight in a limited SELF DEFENCE roll, up to and including CIWS and VLS launch for SAMs. Other than that, love your videos! if you have any questions that I am able to answer about the US Navy please feel free to ask.

I'm sitting here watching this setup, and I can't help but think that the 54 Raptors at Langley could probably take this entire Chinese/Russian attack force. Guess we'll see how it plays out though.
