A battleship is a large, heavily armored warship with a main battery consisting of large-caliber guns, designed to serve as capital ships with the most intense firepower. An aircraft carrier is a warship that serves as a seagoing airbase, equipped with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft.

A Nimitz class aircraft carrier is not a battleship! A Zumwalt class destroyer is not a battleship! Hello?!?!?!?!?

The countries we give money to have strategic worth.

The USA shows the world its mastery of the science of design. Quite an impressive design.

I haven't watched but a few minutes of this video, yet, and huge, huge mistake. I WAS ON THE USS ENTERPRISE, and watch this, CVAN 65. Thats before the 69. C stands for Carrier, V stands for aircraft, A stands for Attack, and the N, get it, the "N" stands for Nuclear. Yes, the Enterprise, the "Big E" as it was AKA. I boarded in 1966 and 3 tours of Viet Nam. In 69 I was transferred to "Top Gun", NAS Miramar in San Diego. You can spot videos/pictures of it ( it is now de-commissioned ) waiting for disassembly. This video breaks my heart. Maybe Enterprise was omitted on purpose as it was the forerunner of the Nimitz class, but just as big. It should have been included. BTW, while leaving Pearl Harbor one year we got too close to the harbor floor and went adrift for a few hours while tugs moved it to deeper water and the engine room crew had to clear out the intake water vents; or that's how I heard it. I was stationed 135 feet above the water with a great view of the Monument. Now, back to the video.

My uncle was on the 'Big E' during Vietnam, experienced the fire, the Gulf of Tonkin, and other events. I was a kid, and was fortunate to board and tour the ship during a 'Dependents Day Cruise', I think it was called, out of San Francisco. We sailed under the Golden Gate, out near the Farallon Islands, then back to dock. My uncle went to Nuclear Power School in San Diego, was in the ICC room, Navigation and Communications, as I recall. When I was in 6th grade, ~1969, I got a letter from him after the horrible fire ... My teacher read the letter to my class, which described my uncles account of the horrors during the fire.

I was there with you RO on The Bainbridge DLG (N) - 25. I did '66. Spent a few hours off DaNang when that was hot and heavy.

Terminology is important. Calling an aircraft carrier something it isn’t.

Aircraft Battleship! This guy has invented a new type of warship.

What happened to the plasma cannon ? 😂😂😂

Badass

Good to hear your comments. Yeah, when I went aboard I was in "CIC" too; Combat Information Center. Per Kirk Douglas in "Final Countdown, on the Nimitz, but done very realistically. After a stint in communications with a Top Secret clearance I transferred to meteorology, spending 6 hrs a day on the island outside listening to those LOUD F-4 Phantoms afterburners. The fire happened about 8:15 AM, 10 miles south of Pearl. It was a GQ drill gone bad. I was locked outside with shrapnel from 8 500lb bombs going of on the flight deck killing 29 and injuring many others. Guess God was watching over me. But I loved that ship and proud to have served on it to my best ability. I watched the rest of the video and they did mention the Enterprise, but it is not a current on duty ship. It had to pull into dry dock a second time a few years after my time to get a new reactor core. THey had to cut open the hull to do that, but the subsequent fuel cores had a longer life each time. Now the cores last almost the life of the ship; many many years. Oh, BTW, when I was a Cub Scout in San Diego we got a tour of the Kearsarge; I think. Maybe it was the Kitty Hawk, but whichever was based in Coronado where I was born. I'll never forget lunch in the Officer's Mess, with shrimp salad; just loved it, even at that age. Bye for now.

BRAVO...👍 Thank you..✌

As others have observed, the speaker is conflating "warship" with "battleship". To Hyperspeed, please re-record and stop using "battleship" in your narrative.

Very interesting and informative. Thanks a lot. But i dont see the need that the Gerald Ford class have to replace the Nimits class. It can be use adisional alongside the Nimits class carriers for extra force capability.

Did you mean warship, that's ok, my 92 year old grandpa makes the same mistake.

Enemy will die laughing at the sight of DDG 1000.......

OH GOODIE

Kay Griggs interview talks about ship's being sunk

It would be fascinating to see the flight deck blueprint laid out on the map of a Navy Air Base, like Pensacola, Cherry Point, Patuxent, or NOB Norfolk, or NAS Oceana. Huge as it is, pilots have told me they still see a dot on the ocean on approach, and a mighty small target on the downwind, cross wind and final, until you shoot over the fantail and catch the number 3 wire. Most danger I faced animating Old School was paper cuts. With computers, eye strain.

Although it was over 5 decades ago that I was flown onto a carrier, I still remember the trips. It becomes visible as a dot and until almost landing, it doesn't seem to get much bigger than a postage stamp.

I don’t get it! This video was posted 3 days ago and the USS Gerald R. Ford was commissioned in 2017, nearly 7 years ago. So why is he talking about it as if it’s a brand new ship we’ve never seen before?

A nuclear power ship would not emit smoke, as the ship in your "Teaser" pix shows. And it does not have two islands!

since when is the us calling air craft carriers battleships the new jersey and Missouri are battleships

Don't no one touch there boats 😂😂😂

Two big and too many assets invested in one ship that can be destroyed with one nuclear weapon and yes it not a battleship . There are no battleships except for a few left from WW11 . Now they have Frigates and destroyers that are mainly used to defends aircraft carrier from attack a mobile airfield built on a ship !

I agree, but didn't want my previous post to be too long. Oh, and another thing. I've posted this question before, but why in some videos is everything backwards? Just look at the side numbers, backwards, and the island on the left side instead of right. No known-to-me carriers have that. Maybe some kind of tech issue.

You don't need a nuke. A flurry of Russian hypersonic missiles and it's straight to the bottom.

So, why was the US navy unable to keep shipping lanes open around Yemen? A ragtag army such as the Houthi rebels???

This seems to be the product of a individual who is ignorant about the intended subject matter he pretends to be knowledgeable.

It is not a battle ship, learn your correct terms.!

Wow USA super strong ship

Pretty sickening the ship was the Lyndon Johnson. Absolutely nauseating. The Gerald R. Ford isn't much better.

, it's a aircraft carrier not a new jersey battel ship

This fool doesn't have a clue.
