  • When are you yanks going to bring one of these boats over to England? We do have the parking, and enough food for the return journey.

  • @TheMrgaztop I'll see what I can do.

  • Nice Video!

  • If US designed in them in 1970's-80's, making every non-western nation design their policies in relation to what the US will do with these monsters at sea what are they replacing them with!

    Ever since the Iowa class was decommissioned there has been constant calls for them to be reactivated if only for carrier escort or to support the USMC with a armoured missile platform - the US may have a economy only half the EU's size but your weapons are the best - amazing engineering! Thank God for USA!

  • Chciałbym zobaczyć jak taki okręt idzie na dno:)

  • @szlaht

    Cóż, nie klasy Nimitz o napędzie atomowym lotniskowcem nigdy nie zatonął. Są one praktycznie niezatapialna ze względu na segmentację w wodoszczelnych przedziałów statku oraz podwójne dna wzornictwa. Jeśli szukasz na YouTube można znaleźć filmy z bardzo starego typu lotniskowca on umyślnie zatopiony aby stworzyć sztuczną rafę.

  • AWESOME, Thanks for your service!

  • There are ten of these beauties in the Fleet vs. the Big E all by her lovely lonesome.

  • Manning the rails was a pain in the a^&, unless you could be at relaxed parade rest. Some of the canoe clubbers(academy dudes) trying to kiss their bosses butt made us stay at parade rest the entire time, until boats whistled moored. Great times. Go US NAVY.

  • and to think those Iranians think they could match the USNAVY!! lol

  • huge ships!

    some questions...which US Carrier is the biggest? which one is the most advanced? which has the fastest jets on? which carrier would you sail on given the choice if you went into conflict as a sailor..

  • @teesfella I could be wrong, but I think the "biggest" would probably be USS Enterprise. The most advanced is probably USS George H. W. Bush, unless you count the Ford. I don't know about any carriers having faster jets than the others. You might be able to figure that out by looking at the number of Super Hornet vs. Hornet squadrons on a particular carrier. Personally, I'd take the newest, so the Bush or the Ford.

  • @danieldeibler cheers.. awesome ships...

  • @danieldeibler They're all the same size... they're all CVN designated ships, all the same super carriers. Most advanced would usually entail the most recently built one, but eventually they are all retrofitted to be the same for uniformity and function. The Ford isn't even built yet and is a different class of Carrier. The most recent one's are the Nimitz class. The Ford class will be built off the Nimitz platform, but slightly bigger and more advanced

  • @KLsemperFi7 USS Enterprise is 31 ft longer and 5 ft wider than Nimitz and Ford class carriers. Improvements in flight deck design, in addition to reducing the number of reactors required, allowed us to make the Nimitz class smaller. When we designed the Ford class, we started from scratch, but designed everything to fit in the same hull form as the Nimitz class. They may look mostly similar from the outside (minus the island and missing aircraft elevator) but the inside is completely different.

  • @danieldeibler After AE school turned into a disaster...i was sent to the USS Forrestal(cv-59)from Oct '88-May'92 leaving as an ABH3.In Dec of '88 i went TAD(as an AA) to get flight deck qualified on the USS Coral Sea(cv-43)in the N Atlantic.I have never been so cold in my life...especially when the the boilers went out on the showers the last couple days....BRRRR!!

  • @teesfella The USS Enterprise (CVN-65) launched in the mid 1960's is longest, at 342m (1,123ft). It's displacement is 95,000tons full load, making it slightly less voluminous than the Nimitz class which has had a new ship built about once every 4-5 years since 1975. The Nimitz class displaces from about 100,000tons to 110,000tons depending on the individual ship. The oldest is the CVN-68 USS Nimitz.

  • @teesfella The most recently built have more advanced Sea Sparrow missile launch capabilities, but I imagine the older ones will be retrofitted in time. The real advances to the CVN 77 (George H W Bush) and later 78 (Ford) are that they will strive to be more efficient in, costing less to operate than their predecessors, as built, but even their predecessors will be upgraded to match in time.

  • @teesfella As for jets: all US Navy carriers have some variant of this loadout:

    10 FA18E/F Superhornet heavy fighter-bomber

    36 FA18A/C Hornet standard fighter-bomber

    6 S3B Viking Anti-submarine

    E2C Sentry Airborne Warning and Control

    4 EA18G Growler Electronic countermeasures

    2 C2 Greyhound Ship to shore transport

    4 SH60F or HH-60H (Both are variants of the Blackhawk Helicopter) Originally the SH was used for anti sub, the HH has replaced it and is used for multirole purposes.

  • @apclypseishere cheers for all the replies..you certainly know your stuff on these huge ships.

  • @apclypseishere i got a feeling that you are a US Navy history buff

  • Sorry but I was just wondering what those black floating objects surrounding the Nimitz were?

  • @burningboards torpedo nets im assuming. some sort of protective barriers

  • stay classy san diego.

  • GREAT VIDEO. THE LINCOLN WAS MY 1ST COMMAND THEN WENT TO HC-3 THERE ON NORTH ISLAND! THANKS FOR POSTING . BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES AND NOW MY KIDS CAN WATCH!

  • Great video, thanks for sharing!

  • Nice videos man, how cool was it to be on that ship... If you dont mind me asking, whats your job

  • What happened to manning the rails on your way out of port in your dress blues or your dress whites???

  • @milkdud8300 I'm not sure what the criteria are for doing that, but the Lincoln is home-ported in Everett, Washington, and had only been in San Diego for a little while, so they didn't have family there. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

  • @milkdud8300 we never really manned the rails in San Diego if we were leaving on workups like COMPTUEX or CQ, we did twice when we got back from deployment bc the airwing was mostly based in San Diego

  • @milkdud8300 The manning the rails is done when entering & leaving foreign ports to show your not armed or manning weapons. When leaving home port manning the rails is only done on select occasions or when going on long term mission i believe.

  • @MadMadPhil That is true. I never manned the rail leaving port.

  • @milkdud8300 the only time i see people manning the rails in the states is when they are passing the uss arizona when leaving pearl

  • @milkdud8300 so ya you only man the rails when passing the arizona memorial... in front of the president and or a foreign leader.... you dont do it every time you leave a port only on special occasions 

  • @BlueBig22 no it's not only for special occasions. stop reading that wikipedia garbage. it's up to the co to decide when to man the rails. when you come back from dets or cruises, you man the rails to pay tribute to the city that you're pulling into, and out of. you ALWAYS man the rails for vips and of course the USS Arizona.

  • @milkdud8300 Thats for display only I believe xD

  • @milkdud8300 I'll explain. Manning the rails only happens in foreign ports. When our ships leave home port its called "at quarters." Manning the rails also happens at Pearl Harbor for the USS Arizona memorial and other special events that may happen.

  • Nice video, thanks, can i ask what your job is on the ship?

  • @aggablinky I'm not in the Navy. My work sent me to the Lincoln to collect some data during COMPTUEX.

  • @danieldeibler Ah i see, thanks for your reply. Nice vids.
