Except for the Nimitz and the Enterprise, all todays carriers are named after former presidents. But what happened to those old names of ships like the Hornet and Yorktown?
does this video have more than one picture? I listened to it for several minutes and the picture never changes. All i can see is a photo of a hellcat on the deck burning, no motion at all. i was just wondering if i did something wrong or if this is a voice only video?
To think we built 24 big Essex carriers within five years, minus the Oriskany, which did not complete until 1950. Compare that to the eight years it takes to build a Nimitz-Class CVN.
@Planetar17 Well, a Nimitz-Class carrier (i served on the USS Nimitz) is powered by a nuclear reactor. Such technology requires extreme caution when building, so that there won't be a meltdown later.
The Oscar statuette awarded for this documentary will be on display tonight, Feb.17th, 2011, at Red River Theatres in Concord, NH. It, and another Special Oscar for "The March of Time" series, are on loan by the grandson of director Louis de Rochemont for the independent cinema's Red Carpet Awards Night, a fundraiser of party and Oscar®-viewing.
Thomas Hooker did invention to the Hooker . . .Today the white women all in the world most more than 90% are Hookers .From there "Fighting lady was a liar"
Second WWII all Europe,US were brother . .were born from fathers Mongols and Mother Cleopatra white Gorilla. . .your 10 fingers in your two hands are killing to other?Obama was right ! White Evils for the white people .
I had believed the Jap torpedo bomber at the 51 mark was a kamikaze pilot, yet here it is stated that he missed the carrier either because he was dead or his release gear jammed.
The uncut version of that particular attack shows the aircraft striking the deck.
My grandfather served on the Yorktown. When I was in scouts, we actually had a chance to visit "The Lady" docked in Charleston, SC. We spent the night on the ship and had a really good time. I can't imagine what that must have been like for him reminiscing about his time aboard. Its 25 years later and my grandfather has passed on, but i'm pretty sure the ship is still parked in SC.
War is not as stupid as being conquered and enslaved without fighting back in defense.This was a war that had to be fought and the enemy defeated.Only a fool would think otherwise.
Great film I have not seen this before.
BTW my father (B-17 Pilot) had a friend who was a Marine Aviator (Corsair VMF-451) on a Carrier (USS Bunker Hill CV-17).

This is a great documentary. Watching this, you really do see the old flag and the men buried at sea, and sing "Let Freedom Ring!"
