may not be a Super hornet, but damn the S-3 was cool. other than a seahawk, the only non fighter aircraft type thing the navy had was the S-3, and it was fuckin bad ass. damn you US Navy for retiring it! We want it back, it was cool looking, it worked, it didn't really need to be replaced, we can't really afford a replacement, blah blah blah...c'mon! bring it back, please! it was so cool looking and it actually worked! fine, i'll just steal one than...
I watched it several times to see if I could catch any identifying marks on the carrier. Couldn't, but I did notice that this film is old. On the deck? Those are TOMCATS BABY!! :D
Definitely an S3 Viking! No doubt about it. Former AW! They didn't call it the "Hoover" for nothing. Listen... that's exactly what it sounds like. A Hoover vacuum cleaner. Great vid!

The carrier. Hmmm, I don't see the port side elevator on the landing path, no visible stack, best guess she's a nuke (Nimitz-class).

Imagine the amount of g-force they have to endure when they have bring these aircraft to a halt within 2 or 3 seconds of landing

Nice Trap.
Calm seas as well. I'd say the Mediterranean Sea.

Looks like it is somewhere in the I.O. Nowhere else is the water that calm.
