  • Why would somebody play this music in the during this video. Americans are dying...

  • @littleredpants The sweet music of the 1940s represents the freedom and way of life our forefathers fought and died for therefore it is most appropriate! You can bet these sailors had that way of life on their mind as they struggled to succeed in the Pacific War.

  • 3:35 there are two smokes rising in the water,maybe those are coming from 2 shot down japanese bombers.i guess

  • Exactly! @riverjohn29

  • I agree this is beautiful music, but it tastelessly mismatched to the scenes in this vid.

  • Good lord if I'm going to die please let it be to the sweet sounds of the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

  • Wow, she was lucky to stay afloat, very sad loss of great men! Thanks for posting this!

  • took one down the pipe and still kept steaming. Respect to the USS enterprise and her crew, she was in good hands that day.

  • song reminds me of fallout haha

  • Does Gene Roddenberry choose "Enterprise" as name of his starship?

  • why play this musis.....AMERICANS ARE DYING.....geez, a bit dramatic dont you think........tard

  • @Iturnright Ah ok thanks mate

  • @Baza1964

    Saratoga CV-3 was expended as target at Bikini Atoll.

  • Its sad that the enterprise was sold to scrap metal. The longest lasting US aircraft carrier of WW2.
