I live in one of those houses along the islands as it passed now I’m serving in the navy.

My reserve unit did our 2 weeks A/T on the Nimitz, sailed from Bremerton to San Diego. It was great!

I was stationed on board when USS Nimitz left Bremerton back in 1997 for the 'Round The World' deployment for RCOH/SLEP.

I was one of the PSNS guys who rode up to Bremerton on this trip and ended up hiring almost 40 sailors from this crew over the next few years as they retired or EAOS’d. 31/38/56 Thanks for the new Washingtonians.

My sons uncle just recently became Commander on the USS Nimitz. Good video.

The Nimitz first went to Bremerton in 1987, from Norfolk when the Roosevelt came out. Navy said there where too many carriers on the east coast and sent the Nimitz to the Med then to the west coast. I was on cat 2 then.

My enlistment was up in 87 while in the Med. They flew a few of us back to Norfolk. They tried to get me to extend my enlistment until we got to Washington but I was done. Great ship , so blessed to be a part of this wonderful carrier.

A great video. I've just watched the TV series of Nimitz' deployment in 2005 and thoroughly enjoyed it - it reminded me of my own Navy days (in a much smaller navy and on much smaller ships but I saw USN ships up close and visited many of its bases).

I remeber watching a Documentary back in 1985 about The Eisenhower, I can't remeber the title of the film and I want to watch it again.

I was on this ship in 1993, as part of VF24 Fighting Renegades.

My brother was a member of her first crew in 1975. He was on her during her shakedown cruise. We took him to Norfolk to board her. I was amazed at the size of her. (Particularly how high her flight deck was above the water.) I didnt measure it, but I was told its 60 feet from flight deck to waterline.

i was on the Nimitz cvn68 out of Bremerton 1989-1992. she was moved over to go to not finished Everett back then. remind me of the old days.

I was an AQ with VA-165 Boomers on Nimitz 87-90. One of my best friends was a Nimitz Ordie - Steve Waterman.

Was on the Nimitz from 84 to 86 as a ms and a maa.

this is pretty cool, i live about 45 minutes away from bremerton

Gr8 4 Recruiting video for High School students M8s

What's with the audio track?

The implication that the US Navy are the only Navy to “man the rails” is not true, I know it wasn’t said but the way it came across was that it was only a US Navy tradition, I think you will find that the Royal Navy introduced this, and many other traditions to Navy’s around the world. I Was really looking forward to this video, but the audio is so intermittent that it has spoiled it so I will have to try something else, sorry. One last thing, was/is the USS Nimitz the largest roll on roll of car ferry in the world, and probably the most expensive.

I've been to the UK as well as Germany who have some of the socialist programs you praise. Their doctors are simply not on par with the skills of those in the US. If you've ever been a service member and needed emergency treatment, you'd know the US insists on the absolute best care providers of that country because frankly the best are decent and the rest suck. BTW the sales tax in Germany is over 20%. A Honda Accord is a luxury car over there. Forcing some people to pay for other's health care and education isn't exactly looking out for everyone. If you want to go to college, go and pay for it yourself. Not my problem. And final thought, the "big fucking war machine" lets all the cry baby college kids go to school without having to worry about having their heads cut off by radical extremists. It also produces 400K gallons of fresh water a day to help natural disaster victims where clean water is usually the difference between life and death. Food for thought.
