  • Man the US navy is by far the best in the world just by numbers alone no other country stands a chance good thing cause am American

  • The US Navy is obviously the most powerful these days, but in terms if human history, the difference between the Royal Navy and its nearest competitors back in the days of the British Empire was far greater than the difference between the USN and its nearest competitors today. The world was literally Britain's bitch. The tiny island made the world its plaything thanks to its navy, and there was nothing anybody could do about it for a very long time.

  • @ptpt1 You are right, but I think that's a somewhat dubious distinction that I wouldn't necessarily be proud of. The strategic goal of the U.S. Navy today is far more positive, as it isn't trying to impose the will of an anti-democratic, imperialistic regime on the rest of the world, which is what the Royal Navy was effectively doing in its heyday. I love Great Britain, so please don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to bash them at all, but history is what it is, whether we like it or not.

  • You can't call it the "most powerful navy the world has even seen" the Royal Navy was the most powerful... it's relative... yes it is the most powerful navy now but as I have just said it's relative to the time/era, 1760-1950 the Royal Navy was the most powerful... Don't get me wrong the US and the USN is good and I respect the fact that you are now the most powerful, it just seems a little arrogant to call it the most powerful the world has even seen.

  • @MrXray2011 I know it sounds like arrogance, but that is reality. Yes, the Royal Navy was the most powerful in the world in its time, and so was the Spanish Armada. However, in terms of force projection abilities, technological capabilities, and raw firepower, the U.S. Navy is the most powerful in human history. Other navies had those qualities too, but not at the same level. I apologize if this sounds like bragging, but that is absolutely not my intention. I'm just stating facts.

  • @armyveteran101

    Yeah, I see your point, the USN is the most powerful now and the Spanish Armada was never that powerful, we defeated them with a smaller, less organised Navy.

    Yeah fact it is.

  • Nice video. It gave me goosebumps. Im planning on joining the Navy b/c im following my dads footsteps. I just cant wait to join the Navy. So ya really nice video. Loved it

  • Two people are not american

  • @yafea999 I hear you, chief. You know, al Qaeda and the Taliban do watch YouTube videos while they hide in caves in the mountains of Afghanistan. I'm willing to bet that that's where those two dislikes came from....Thanks for watching! ];-)

  • usa decoded is 666

    911 was an inside job

    we got jews making muslim mad at us

    we are not jews

    and we are not a prostitute

    Time to Fight Back!!!

  • @BeUnotATVrobot Stop spamming and get your head out of your ass, clown.

  • Super ships need super protection, ships are sitting ducks in todays high speed world. Excellent vid.

  • I salute the men and women who serve in the Navy. Its a hard,thankless,boring routine at sea,I know I was a sailor 30 years ago aboard the USS Chandler DDG-996.People should have more respect for the sacrifices made.Bravo Zulu!!!

  • Honor Courage and Comitment

  • God bless our shipmates!! I can't wait to leave for MEPS and find out my bootcamp date!!!

  • Great video, what music did you use?

  • @dfd1080 It is the theme to the movie "Crimson Tide", that was made in the mid 90's with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. I couldn't think of a better musical background for this video...Thanks for watching!

  • Great video man! Usa all the way!

  • Lol in hawaii if you want to join the navy, military,etc. You would have to wait for a while because they can only recruit 1 person each month lol, seriously its that full of recruits, i think the united states will have the most massive navy in the future

  • Great subject, nicely done video.

  • What is that ship at 3:55?

  • @sloan9787 It's the prototype for a new stealth destroyer that the Navy has been working on for quite a few years now. It features the same stealth technology used by the F-117 Nighthawk and the B-2 Spirit, and will presumably feature many times the combat power that a regular destroyer projects currently. The Navy has been experimenting with many new technologies that should have a big effect on naval warfare in the coming years....Thanks for watching!

  • Wow USA looks like a shark of the seas!

    Respect from Albania!

  • where'd you find the pic of the Constitution w/ the modern ships? that really was a beautiful pic.

  • Thanks!

  • When it said John McCain shot down in Vietnam, is that the same McCain that ran for president last election?

  • @MrIke112 Yes. John McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential candidate, was also a Navy fighter pilot that got shot down over Vietnam and spent 5 years of his life as a prisoner of war. Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, John F. Kennedy, and George H.W. Bush also served in the U.S. Navy very honorably, and that's why I included them in this video. Ronald Reagan was a great supporter of naval supremacy, and he aimed to build a 600-ship Navy during his presidency. A nuclear aircraft carrier is named after him.

  • @armyveteran101st Amazing video and thanks for the background info.

  • It takes all branches of the military to keep America safe. God bless all that serve in military. Army takes care of ground battles, marines do the initial fight, airforce clear the skies, coastguard guards our boarders, navy controls sea lanes and they all work and help each other at any time. Germany and japan found that out in WW2

  • ANCHORS AWAY!! With Zeal and Honor. as a Navy Hospital Corpsman and Field Medical Technician! " til the day we die. Corpsman Up!

  • There are only 2 Western nations which can ensure the way we live our lives in the 21st century remain unchanged, they are the core of NATO, global democracy and the Western world, the mighty USA and her closest ally Great Britian, while 1, the US continues to do so with valour and integrity the other , the UK allows political point scoring bk home to damage its abilitys to project power abroad, im British and believe we must protect our way of life and therefore our military superiorty!

  • @TheCharlie359 hey Im an American and I respect your branch as I respect my branch. I hope nothing happens to both of our branches. They'll always help together and forget bout the Revolutionary War.

  • @personalagenda22 oh yeah, what about ernest king the guy incharge of the US Navy, who lost millions of tons of shipping to the germans because he thought the canadian and british convoy systems wer stupid, so he just send his ships out by themselfs... even eisenhower was quoted in saying, " ww2 would have ended sooner if somebody had shot ernest king"

  • great vid and a truly great song fit for the good american patriot.

  • all i say is the us navy good navy only navy respect my homeland navy Kaliningrad Republic Naval Force (KRNF). nice pic of a Udaloy 1 class.

  • Could have done without the picture of John Kerry.

  • @rbensonmtp Why is that? The man served our Country honorably in the Navy, regardless of what his detractors might want you to believe. His picture deserves to be here.

  • vietnam need your help, vietnam need your help, we need you to keep spratly islands and paracel islands, we all know they are belong to VIETNAM, please! hand in hand with us

  • Thank you to all vets, I am grateful to all who have served and also for the ones who have paid the ultimate price, both of my grandfathers were in ww2 and were lucky enough to come home. I am greatly ashamed at what our "government" is doing to our armed forces now. Thanks again and have a good holiday.

  • first thing asked asked when there is a national emergency "WHERE ARE THE CARRIERS"??!!!!!!

  • that weird thing at 3:57, name? anyone?

  • That is the prototype for a new destroyer with stealth technology. It is part of the Navy program of research and development for the future. It does look weird, doesn't it? However, it is supposed to be exponentially more capable and lethal than the average destroyer currently in service.

  • tnx!

  • Prague Philharmonic :-) Main City of my Homeland

  • In the Navy would've been a better song XD

  • i wish always serve on aircraft carrier or bild her in Newport

  • Im thinking about joining the navy, do i have to know how to swim before i join or will they teach me how when i get there?

  • I would think it would be very useful if you know how to swim before you go, but since that's not my branch of service, I can't tell you for sure if swimming is a requirement for navy boot camp or not. Even if it's not a requirement for enlisting in the Navy, I would think that knowing how to swim may be mandatory once you're in. In the Army you had to know how to swim, and if you didn't know, someone taught you. We did quite a bit of training in the water. You may want to talk to a recruiter!

  • @armyveteran101st yes swimming is a requirement in bootcamp. im in the navy and if you cant swim, they will hold you back however many days in bottcamp until you pass the qualifications for a third class swimmer.

  • @warrages1 I thought so, but I wasn't completely sure if knowing how to swim was a requirement for enlistment eligibility. It wasn't for Army Basic Training, but we did a fair amount of training in or near the water once we got to our permanent duty stations, so as a career Soldier I was required to know how to swim. We also did some of our PT in the water, usually when we had just come back from field exercises and we were on recovery mode. If you're in the Navy, I thank you for your service!

  • @armyveteran101st yea, third class swimmer is easy stuff. basically the basic jump off a tower, swim to the otherside, and prone float for five minutes and learn how to pack air in your coveralls. and youre welcome!

  • no u have to kno how to swim.. pretty good too

  • If it was not for the U.S. Navy and others you would be speaking german.

  • @rusttrail3 maybe if you live in Europe.... Germany would have never been able to support an invasion over here nor did they ever have any plans to do so.

  • @rusttrail3 really? the canadian navy engaged in combat operations against germany in the atlantic for over 26 months before america threw a punch, despite being dozens of times smaller then the US navy... by the time US joined, over 80% of the german military was fighting on the eastern front, and canada and britian were no longer under major threat of invasion. this was the only time ever when germany could have taken over, and usa did next to nothing until the battle was already won

  • @101andrewj i didnt say we where the first or did the most i was talking about a combined effort from all parties in general, but then again the united states are always the bad guys, so have a great day there buddy.

  • @101andrewj That's an uninformed and prejudiced statement. That's not the way things went down, and I know the history very well. You're one of those who want to demean my country's participation in the war because you're straight up anti-American, and that's just plain stupid. WW2 was a joint effort, but the truth is that without the U.S. the Allies would have had a much tougher time against Germany and Japan, and the war would have lasted much longer and taken many more lives. That's a fact.

  • @armyveteran101st they couldn't defeat Germany,because Britain ran out of gold they used to fund the war.Churchill ask ths U.S. for money,because the U.S. was neutral ,they came up with lend lease they gave England 34 billion dollars.Although the U.S. was neutral we fought German navy in 1941 to protect British convoys.9 months latter the U.S. entered the war.

  • @101andrewj really i didnt say we where there first or did the most get over yourself chief , it was a general comment

  • @101andrewj i really hope u are kidding

  • @101andrewj hahaha your really funny. Actually I have all facts from the US Navy videos and books and the US Navy had to protect the Atlantic coast. Canada helped but we did a lot of the defending.

  • @rusttrail3 yeah... or Russian

  • The USN is not the most powerful Navy in history, its just the Most Powerful Navy at the moment.. The Royal Navy operated 15 Battleships, 7 Air Craft Carriers and over 900 Escort ships at the outbreak of the second world war..

  • I love the Royal Navy and its history, but you're wrong. No navy in history has approached the U.S. Navy in terms of firepower or numbers since the second half of WW2. At the end of the war there were hundreds of American subs and aircraft carriers, and thousands of cruisers and destroyers, and that's a documented fact. British military historian Max Hastings has written extensively on the subject. Read "Retribution", which is a history of the Pacific War written by him. Thanks for watching!

  • in terms of armaments, global reach, technical supremacy and size/number of capital ships the US navy is the most powerful navy ever.

  • During WW2 the US Navy operated 1,703 warships including over 40 Aircraft Carriers, 43 Battleships, 150+ Cruisers, 800+ Destroyers and 350+ Submarines. That is not including the auxiliary support ships.

    The US Navy was the most poweful Navy of WW2 and emerged from the Cold War as the most powerful as well.

    That is not to say that the Royal Navy is not an incredibly formidable force. In fact, the crew comfort and quality of the UK's ships is often superior to ours.

  • @USN1985, Im British and agree with most of your comments however i challenge your facts when it comes to the number of Battleships the USA operated in WW2, you had 15 in commission at the outbreak of war with 10 more under construction, 4 Alabama's and 6 Iowa's, 2 of which were never completed and the planned Montanna's never being laid down so US battleship numbers would have been 23 if you had not suffered the tragic losses at Pearl Harbour but with Arizona sunk that leaves 22 not 43!

  • @TowerHamletsNeil than why did a lot of y'alls battleships, aircraft carrier, and escort ships been destroyed and asked the US for more ships to help protect its country from the Germans?

  • Awesome video ! I know well that the United States Navy is so strong, the first range  of the world . Thank you for sharing .

    nutier
