China is now outpacing the U.S. in navy military construction. As an American, U.S. Govt. better get with the program and quit playing politics when it comes to budgets but it don't look like that will happen. Just look at the rate we commission navy ships since the Cold War (1979-1985). It took 13 years to build and send the the latest carrier on its first deployment, what used to take 7 to 9 years. Wikipedia (laid down vs deployed dates on List of aircraft carriers of the United States Navy). Woke BS politics seems to be more important here....

@@Cobalt135 not to worry, most of the advanced stuff that they build is garbage and overhyped for show. At least the Soviets did their best to give the US a real scare. The woke agendas you worry about are costing you tens of millions (assuming they get implemented at all). On the other hand, the social and economic issues caused by blindly following your politicians like cult leaders are costing you billions and trillions in the form of wasted taxpayer money, or subsidies & tax cuts to corporations and the wealthy.

At the 2:00 mark, when you said up to 200 aircrew, you were technically correct. Only those piloting or flying in the aircraft, are aircrew. But it gives a skewed idea of how many people are aboard when the airwing is embarked. That would include the airwing's people other than the aircrew, and would add up to about 2,000 people in addition to the ship's company of 3,500.

A few years ago while in PNW I was fortunate to visit a Nimitz carrier during a public weekend. I was so impressed with the size, super organized manner of everything and of course, the graciousness and courtesy of the crew. One of the accompanying destroyers was captained by a women! I was proud to be a taxpaying American.

When I made my last cruise on Forrestal in 1975 we had a contingent of at least 10-12 ships in our Task Force at all times, plus unknown numbers of other support warships just over the horizon and usually including an LHA, and at-least 2 Subs close by, always. I worked in CIC. You can believe that. It was even more dramatic when I enlisted in 72 and served on Kitty Hawk for a year or so. Frankly, most of the time we were only 1 of #3 active task forces in the Pacific and #3 in the Atlantic, on station or ready to go... #1 home-ported in in Mayport and #2 in Norfolk. At that time, there were also #15 active fixed-wing carrier task groups(Vietnam). But by 1975 they had #12. IF my memory serves me.
