INSIDE U.S.S. EISENHOWER SUPER CARRIER ( Full HD Documentary )

An aircraft carrier is a warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering aircraft, acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power worldwide without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. They have evolved from wooden vessels used to deploy balloons into nuclear-powered warships that carry dozens of fixed wing and rotary-wing aircraft.
Aircraft carriers are typically treated as the capital ship of a fleet and are extremely expensive to build and important to protect: of the nine nations which possess an aircraft carrier, seven of these navies only possess one such ship. There are 20 active aircraft carriers in the world, with the U.S. Navy operating 11 out of the total as of June 2011.

Climb aboard the newly overhauled U.S.S. Eisenhower, one of the U.S. Navy's most advanced "super carriers." The "Ike" is poised to deploy for the first time in four years, but her 6,000 crew must prove they and their aircraft are battle ready.

@jc553388 If deck crew or jet isn't blown into sea by crosswind there shouldn't be any problems.

My nephew Brian was on this carrier in the 90's. We got to tour it when it was in for re-work in 1995. So proud of Brian, it was a very memorable and awesome tour.
