Navy Veteran, loved the sea, best part of the Navy

This was the best time i had in the navy, being underway. Otherwise it was a lot of busy work. Things just clicked along and made sense. Well i did my 4 years and got out. Just like 90% of most people do.

Dad was in for 16 years and worked on bases on civilian contract for most of his life. Miss you, Dad!

Some interviews with the crew would have been nice

For sure. They never do that though, cause all they'd get would be bad mouthing of the Navy. I know, I was in the Army. Same same.

Hard to do that when the whole video is just stock footage....

Maravilloso.

Good too see much more diverse and better I was in naval aviation from 1975 to 81 with my reserve time as a crewman/crew chief on helicopters nothing like it attended SERE School and graduated at Brunswick ME. Made a WESTPAC in 78.

Life on board a navy ship on a cruise away from it homeport is 24/7 of pure unadulterated fun. Watch, work, watch, train, watch, unrep/vertrep, watch, work. Rinse and repeat over and over. Might get lucky and have a man overboard or something. And in between all this fun, you have to find time to eat and sleep. Also, the command might decide that crew morale is starting tank and have a steel beach picnic or maybe even a swim call or something.

Sleep. Hmmm. I had heard of it at the time. Pure myth, at sea. When we got surf and turf we knew we were screwed. In a documentary an Army Officer indicated that if you were up for over 24 your physical and mental capabilities were that of a drunk.

Yes, I absolutely enjoyed it. In fact I enjoy all videos. Thank you for your service fellas.

Not loading around… always something and then something

First time hearing of a hospital ship

Other than aircraft carriers and submarines are other ships such as destroyers nuclear powered?

The fast attack sub Tullibee snapped a shaft, dropped a prop and flooded an engine room. This 'target' (DDG) went 'deep sea fishing' and caught a 'bubble boat'. This was Spring of '78 at the tail end of an 8 month Med Cruise. Rough seas. We towed it at 5 knots for three days toward the dry docks in Rota until an ARS/ASR caught up to us from Naples and picked up the tow. This had never been done before. Later, the Navy asked for photographs taken by the crew so they could make a tech publication of some sort. Main thing was no one of the sub was injured.

12 on 12 off day after day.

Never had a job where people hang out with friends on these floating cities, doing very little most of the time. Easy gig for sure. 😊

Not at all. Count on 12 hour workdays, or worse, 8 hours on, 8 off. Doing very little?!? Those decks don't sweep and mop themselves! And training as a firefighter, emergency plumber, the list goes on. No days off at sea. Ever. At best, sleep time. With only the illusion of privacy. 3 tiered bunk beds, with nothing but a cloth curtain between you, and anyone who feels like violating your personal space. In the Army, I had my own room, with a lock on the door. In the Navy, only the Captain has his own room, with NO lock on the door. If he doesn't want to be bothered, he'll post a guard. But no lock. This?!? Forget it! It's like being in a floating prison, you sure ain't going downtown, at the end of your shift! Which I could. No thank you kindly.

I've read thay sailors disliked the conditions on air craft carriers. This isn't the Navy i remember..i was on a 30 yr old ship it was clean and the food was very good.

What’s it like on a Navy ship? Wouldn’t know never going to live on one. Lol

Well, you *are* never further away than 10 miles from land (I didn't say it was dry). The Marianas Trench is almost 7 miles deep. You might look up 'Sinkx ddg 14. (sink exercise). The ship's being used for target practice. Just think of the shock wave travelling through the ship. Here there's no fires or secondary explosions. (Not grumping). It's a multi-national and vessel, including subs and aircraft from a carrier exercise. Some years ago I was talking with a WWII Army Infantry Vet. He had been captured and was in a POW camp. He had open sores from malnutrition and, somehow, managed with talk around, to alert his wife. She sent vitamins in Red Cross packages which saved his life. Years later he was in Berlin with his wife and bought a postcard which showed a POW laying in the mud between the barracks'. It was a friend of his. I had pointed out to him that he could have been hurled in the air from a nearby shell burst and he pointed out that at least he'd land on the ground again! We had a good chuckle about it. He said that at the end of the war the bread was mostly sawdust and one loaf fed either 20 or 40 men. No idea if that was once a day or three times a day. If he specified, I don't reca
