Our journey starts with the everyday life onboard: the challenging conditions, the constant threat, and the amazing facilities that keep morale high. Discover the camaraderie and the shift system that keeps the ship operational 24/7.
Then, we dive into the preparations for war. We reveal the advanced technology, cutting-edge radar and weapons systems, and the formidable force of the service personnel who man these ships. Follow the frantic rush as the klaxon alarm rings out, triggering sailors to their battle stations and preparing for the worst.
Witness the flurry of activity on the flight deck as pilots scramble to prepare for launch, the engineering team ensures the systems are ready for battle, and the medical team stands by for potential casualties. The tension is high as the aircraft carrier moves from a neutral state to a state of high alert and readiness for combat.
Our journey doesn't end there. Experience the highly complex and coordinated effort of combat situations on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, from air defense and anti-submarine warfare to offensive operations against enemy targets.
Finally, learn about the post-combat procedures as the crew transitions from high alert back to routine operational status. The ship might be back to routine, but readiness remains a top priority.

Never mind just when at War. I served onboard the USS Nimitz 78-82 as a jet engine mechanic with Fighter Squadron VF-41. The dangerous conditions are there 24/7.

I was a submariner for many years, but my last command for about 3 months was the USS Ranger. Definitely a different world from what i was used to. I would do it all over again though! Tony E. MM1(SS)

I went on an aircraft carrier while an elementary-age kid and was amazed by the runway and the floor below deck. Everything was larger than life!

I've served aboard an aircraft carrier. I never had to go through Navy SEAL training like you are depicting.

It warms my heart to see the F/A-18 still being used on carriers

I was a radar ET aboard the USS Forrestal back in 82. I maintained the AN/SPS-43A long range, air search radar. It was one of two long range, air search radars we had, the other being the SPS-48, mentioned here. The SPS-48 was a 3D air search radar and was maintained by FTs in those days, though the techs for it shared the radar shop with us. I rode that ship into the Philly shipyard in 83 for its SLEP overhaul. In that overhaul, my radar was replaced (among others). It was replaced by an SPS-49 radar. Remember I said my radar was an air search radar? So is the SPS-49, contrary to what was said in this video. It is NOT a surface search radar. The surface search used in my day was the SPS-10, which was the primary in the Navy for decades. It's since been replaced, I believe with the SPS-67. Plus, unless I've missed something, I don't think Tomahawks get launched from aircraft carriers. Their escorts, yes. There was a saying back when I was on the carrier. In the event of war, the goal is to get all the aircraft in the air. Once. Anything after that, is gravy. The point being, the aircraft are the weapons, and they're useless on deck. On the other hand, having the carrier still there when its over, is bonus.

A carrier is nothing like an airport, it is an airport.
-
The ships are so big that you almost never meet or see 50 to 75% of the crew

My uncle was very high up in coms in the British navy. I have a huge respect for our military’s (USA & UK). Thank you for everything you do ❤

God Bless the men and women of our armed forces. I wish I would have been healthy enough to be in the Navy, sadly I was born a diabetic.

In 1987 the JFK visited Boston harbor, right next to my job, it's hard to explain how huge it is, it made the harbor look small. God bless all who serve this great country.🇺🇸

Been in Country 3 times, slept in a bivy near scorpions etc.. These Seaman have it good. But always nice to have them ready. Love you all. Never Forget! We all work together. No arrogance, just power. SFC.

I was a propulsion ET on the Enterprise (CVN-65) in the late 1970s .... that job was a full-time+ gig and I didn't learn a lot about other jobs like I should have, except perhaps firefighting. What really impressed me about carrier life was the flight deck team ... those guys (they were all guys back then) were really something to watch during flight ops. The flight deck crew, my own propulsion shipmates .... and the guys who kept us fed were most important to me. :)

Aint nothing luxurious about an aircraft carrier except where top brass resides, for example, where the CO and the Fleet Admiral quarters. Trust me, I served on the GW CVN 73.
-
Love how they talk about the fleet sailors training, then show cuts of BUDs lol
-
Lots of “stock clips “ spliced together from previous videos, some of which are irrelevant. I concentrated on the audio & cc which made it less confusing.

Aircraft carriers don’t carry and launch the Tomahawks as a ship borne weapon
