Cheers Daf. It was a grey old day but the first time I've caught a carrier in UK. Shame they didn't get any of those F-18s through the loop thought - boooo!

One Of The Safest Place On Earth .. Rename This Ship !! I Wish They Would Gerald Ford ...

Awesome video of an awesome machine and a timely reminder of what those who wish us ill will face should they choose to act. Reminds me of what is written in the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola: "four-and-a-half acres of sovereign U.S. territory, anytime, anywhere".

I've been on the Enterprise, Midway, and Hornet. If this ship is ever available for a walk around tour...I will be there. I've also been on the historic Iowa and Missouri. All are truly impressive.!

Tremendous news. I was there in 2016 when the last strike group rolled into the Solent while doing my MSc abroad. What you see on the outside is a fraction of its capability and pales in comparison to the Chinese frigates they send over into the harbour lol - NATO strong.

Since no enemies want to attack our land, you don't even have to travel, we will bring your destruction to you, how accommodating is that.🇺🇸

And guess what? 300 men were smoking on that ship and its still afloat. What do you think of that Russia? Do you like that?

Tomcats have performed over 12x speed of sound since the 1980s. Northrop Grumman has been secretive. What do you think we have now.

Mach 12? No, no they haven't. The SR71 maxed out above Mach 3 in thin atmosphere and even then the thermal expansion caused it to lengthen by inches. If the F14 deviated from straight, pretty much at all, while travelling at Mach 12 the G-forces would've ripped it apart.

I'm sure many people would disagree with you there bro. What makes you think anything is going to get through its defences, not least the defences of the fleet it sails with?

With the development of longer range fighters, accompanying drones, ship to shore missiles, and stand off launched missiles ,the anti-ship battery will be a pile of junk before any ships come in range.

Recent events in the Red Sea show how difficult it is to penetrate the defensive systems of US and allied naval vessels, especially the Aegis combat system. Granted, there were no modern hypersonic missiles engaged, but defending against drones is not an easy task.

A most impressive ship, one of the freedom of navigation U. S. Navy ships defending open sea lanes throughout the world. Thanks for making this great video. Love to all from the United States. Slava Ukraini. 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇦🦏🌎
