Excellent tour, thank you. I worked at the shipyard that built the USNS Kanawa (T-AO196). She was actually the first ship that I ever stepped aboard. I spent over 10 years at the shipyard, and it's always nice to see ships that I helped build on the news, or in videos like this.

Nice to know that these sailors are out there keeping us safe. I'm a peace loving guy so we need to be prepared to fight to protect that. It's the grand irony of being a human being.

Great presentation! This official channel is informative, current and very engaging. Keep it up!

i love these little insight videos you do, it's great to see the henry ford or queen elizabeth sure.. quite mind blowing, but it's these sorts of areas much real practical work of the navy is being done... you can see our navy too shewdly investing in "destroyers" or missile frigates (i am not sure which is which), and minesweeping, submarine detection (i hope anyway) actually this clas from the americans they wanted a newer hull shape but that zumwalt never passed the test... now this class feel very important of a sudden so they have a sort of stealthed top half, as usuall all the US gear will be top notch, but the hull is the same as from 1991.... much like an F-15 also it will probabally get the job done
