I was an Airframes Supervisor of a Vigilante squadron in 1973. It was a tough time and all of us worked hard to fulfill our missions at the end of the Vietnam War. I thank all of you for being hardworking individuals during this time!!

You must have good memories. Respect from Brazil

It is interesting but I still prefer Top Gun's epic legendary intro aboard the USS Enterprise.

[@markchristian787]

Being a former Marine who did 2 westpacs aboard amphibious assault ships, it brings tears to my eyes knowing how valuable this service is they are doing. They all have my total support and prayers. I just wish I could be there to see any part of a carrier battle group returning from overseas.

[@geraldrembert8321]

I'm glad they don't have the heavy metal music with this video. I love the natural sound of the flight deck.

[@carlnilssonyoung8961]

U can build a new carrier , but these people working hard with decades of carrier experience is the most precious assets that standing apart from the rest in naval power.

thanks for the credits in the description! Im glad you all like my footage!

Dam, I miss those great NAVY days. I love it.

[@dbcooper1226]

WOW!!! The best video I have ever seen!! Thank you SO much for that and definitely thank you all working on that carrier!!!👏🤝👍

Never get tired of watching precision at its best.

[@johnvega5836]

team work at its best! Love that vid with live sound and no hard rock ! Go Navy !

[@mohdradhimohdrosli9702]

I remember when this carrier dock at westport malaysia with uss aegis destroyer kidd back in early 2000's. We had a chance to get aboard the vessel and it amaze me the size of a hangar can fit 2 football field inside the belly of this mothership. Thank u us navy for making my wish came true.

[@ELViejito100]

Man, sailor job never changes, its always hard work, dicipline and duty.

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

Gotta admire the work of every individual on these amazing ships and planes! Gotta be the best job on this planet... but though as hell for sure!

[@Don_ECHOguy]

These carrier operations never cease to amaze me. The level of cooperation that is needed not from just launching and retrieving planes, but from every task on board right down to the resupply and the sorting and moving of goods as well as the chiefs preparing the meals! All monumental tasks and the Good ole USA does it well!! 👍

[@rickospia5216]

In Vietnam we did this at night try doing that with it raining for 30 days at a time !

[@grizzlyhughes]

Really enjoyed this video. Always impressed by the sheer numbers of crew members it takes to operate a super carrier. And the fact that the work never stops. Much respect and admiration for the entire crew, from the captain to the pilots to the flight deck, the mechanics, and everyone else who wears the uniform. Keep up the good work!

[@lynnament1506]

It’s hard to believe that there aren’t more accidents and fatalities on the aircraft carrier. Great job!

[@Ever443]

Those guys and girls are stone cold professionals, hats off to all of them

[@trainerskulb00d]

So interesting to watch operations as a spectator, but do realize lots of isolationism. The do have different things to improve morale. My brother was on the Vinson, the captain was big into fishing and slowed the carrier down for people to fish off the back. A few people did, when the captain got word that someone got into a marlin...he told the ship to back up (to help reel in the fish). The mess hall ended up providing the fish for din din that day.

[@CarterWHern]

Excellent video.

[@51gofish]

Nothing in the world matched the excitement of working the flight deck of an Aircraft carrier also very hazardous. Accidents happened people were hurt a few died. Served on USS Midway (Midway Magic) with VA115 . Also VA145 USS Range.r Worked as an AD squadron and AIMD jet shop. One of the best times of my now 60 year old life 1978-1982.

[@johnbillings4947]

Thank you for your service. We as a nation very much appreciate you and all those who serve! God bless America!!

[@akinoshimo]

Oh, VA115, I was on the USS Midway in '83 and IO cruise in '84, AIMD IM3 division. CDR Schramm was the AIMD officer. The avionics shop was right under the flight deck O2 level port side, just aft and above the LOX plant. It got noisy while trapping aircraft especially if they bolter and drag that tail hook across the flight deck. I do not miss that part.

[@melodycjefferson1323]

Thank you for your service 💖🇺🇲♥️

[@josepablolunasanchez1283]

I can imagine a few types of danger: * Being sucked by an intake * Being hit by a plane * Being burned by exhaust * Falling off the deck * Aircraft crash debris * Broken arrestor cable hitting stuff Am I missing something?

[@51gofish]

There was no shortage of accidents on the ship.The Flying squad was always being dispatched. First cruise there was a launch with my squadrons aircraft that one of the launch crew was sucked in the intake. He lived because his cranial helmet came off the engine backfired and he came back out the intake in a hurry. The engine did not survive.

Stennis’s anchors are all that remains of my old ship, the USS Forrestal. I don’t know who John Stennis was but this ship has history attached to it as far as I’m concerned.

[@stanleyhatfield4902]

i was in va-81 on the forrestal 71 to 75. i had heard the anchors went to the lincoln. thanks for the info. pretty crappy the way the navy did all the old oil burners. lot of history cut up for scrap.take care shipmate.

[@kwaktak]

Naw, the stinkin Lincoln was commissioned in 89 when the FID was still active duty. I hear you though. I would’ve liked the FID to become a museum in Baltimore but the DoD wouldn’t go for it and ended up selling it and all the other oil burners for a penny apiece. Terrible.

[@jlightfoot7536]

The Stennis is named for a senator or congressman from I believe Mississippi. Don't know how he rated a ship. But there it is. If I'm not right I'm damn close.

[@michaelmappin4425]

@@jlightfoot7536 he was also chairman of the armed services committee and very friendly to military appropriations including production of nuclear aircraft carriers. There is a move to try to change the name because he was a segregationist.
