City At Sea: Life Inside World’s Largest US Navy Aircraft Carrier | Full Documentary

Embark on a journey to the heart of a floating city at sea with this full documentary about life inside the world's largest US Navy aircraft carrier. Experience the thrill of life onboard as we take you behind the scenes of this massive military machine. Get a glimpse into the daily routines and challenges faced by the sailors who call this moving metropolis their home. Discover the cutting-edge technology and sophisticated systems that keep this massive vessel afloat and operating at maximum efficiency. Join us for a journey of a lifetime as we explore life inside a city at sea.
Hop aboard the U.S. Navy's mightiest aircraft carriers and meet their dedicated crews and pilots. On a U.S. Navy warship, up to 6,000 US sailors can live and work in the middle of the sea. This is how the modern aircraft carrier is also referred to as a ''city at sea.'' Many luxury facilities are available while the sailors work together to defend America's interests around the world. Full Documentary.
Life aboard an aircraft carrier is undoubtedly tough and exhausting. Sailors on an aircraft carrier are responsible for a wide range of tasks, and they often work long hours in challenging conditions.
Another challenge is the limited space and privacy available on an aircraft carrier. The ship is crowded with personnel and equipment, and sailors may have to share small, cramped living quarters with several other people. There is also limited downtime and opportunities for leisure activities, as the ship is always on the move and sailors are often busy with their duties.
Additionally, sailors on an aircraft carrier may face challenges related to being away from home and their loved ones for extended periods of time. Deployments can last for several months, and sailors may not have regular opportunities to communicate with their families or take leave.
Yet it can also be exhilarating, especially for the men and women who work on the flight deck, piloting jets and landing on a stretch of runway. What is it like to live and work on a US Navy ship in the middle of the sea?

I am a Navy vet and served as a commissary man on the old USS Randolph, CVS 15 which was de commissioned in 1969. She was a much smaller ship and served through WW2. We served as an ASW ship and hunted submarines. It is really amazing to see all the changes that have taken place on a carrier since my days. I very much enjoyed the time we spent at sea and the places we visited. True we worked hard every day at sea but it was truly rewarding. I envy all of these young people serving on these ships and thank God for them serving our country. I also very much enjoy these Documentaries, Thank you.

I was stationed on the USS America, CV-66, 1976-1979. From your video, life on a carrier is a lot better. We didn’t have ship stores, the food at times was terrible and we never had a swim call. As a Quartermaster, I worked on the bridge so we had a great view of what was going on. At times we would hit storms where some waves came on the flight deck. I felt bad for the other smaller ships because in a bad storm, I saw a destroyer come out of the water and then go under the waves. Saw the power of what water can do to a ship. As a master helmsman, I would be assigned to the helm during replenishment at sea. I learned how ships can collide at sea. Now my ship is anchored at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. She was a great ship!!!!!

We watched old prop powered war planes launched and recovered, and got to eat with the crew and tour most of the ship.

I served aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 from 86 to 90. I missed being a Plank Owner (a tradition when you are ships company when commissioned) by one month. We did a Caribbean cruise, a North Sea cruise and a Med cruise during my time aboard. We made countless one or two week cruises at the beginning for shake down. When a new ship is built, there's a number of sea trials and planned events that are called acceptance trials. So the first year was spent in and out of Newport News ship yard and Norfolk Naval base. The best thing I remember was how good the chow was. All the bread and pastries were baked fresh daily. I remember that when a tray of bread came out of the oven, the Mess Specialist would ring a small ship bell and that was the cue. A large hunk of 10 minute old sourdough and half a stick of butter...magic. The best way to keep a sailor happy is thru their stomach. And they did that well. I got out just as Desert Storm was brewing up.

I am the proud father of a submariner, recently promoted to petty officer first class. He is going to college (remotely) while working and will apply to become an officer once he gets his diploma. Tough guys, these submariners.

Thanks for your support of the US Navy. I’m US Navy Dad originally from Cebu City. My son is a fighter pilot flying the F18 Super Hornet. As far as I know, he’s the only ethnic Filipino serving as a fighter pilot in the US Navy. I’m very proud of him.

[@trbarton743]

Thanks for your generous comments. I was in Subic bay to get ammunitions for our ship. A big mistake when the government shut down that base & so many jobs were losses. I’ll always have a lot of respect for the Philippines.

[@georgeschuchman3095]

I was on flight deck of the Uss.Lexington Cvt 16.I worked with the arresting gear. Very dangerous

[@mellowsunshine2724]

A wonderful video, I enjoyed every minute. I wasn’t able to serve due to family circumstance and interference. I will grieve for the rest of my life for this missed opportunity to serve my country and not being able to fulfill my lifelong dream that I held from early childhood and well into adulthood. Although it may make me sad to watch navy videos time to time, these are my favorite types of videos to watch. I cant tell you how proud I am of our military with your hard work and dedication. You all are the cream of the crop and role models for America. I pray you stay safe and for the well being of your families.

[@jackshittle]

I was in the Navy for 5 years as an aircrewman on P-3C Orion's which are land based only so I've never been on a ship. One of my bosses retired after 30 years and never stepped foot on a ship. He just kept rotating betwween P-3C squadrons which are considered sea duty because we go on 6 month deployments and shore duty - he was an AOCM (NAC).

[@AngelGarcia-yu2ti]

I served on the USS Bon Homme Richard CVA31 and USS Constellation CV64, Both served in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Viet Nam War. I experienced swim call out at sea! I Never seen the ocean so calm like glass!

[@davidsmith-oi3zg]

Hello Angel how are you doing today? wow you must have really have the time of your life in the USS...can you tell more about the calm ocean cause have never had such experience before tho🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@michellecourts2237]

From Thomas Courts USS Wasp CVA 18. This is light years away from my 4 years 52 to 56. In engineering I could still go anywhere including the flight deck during launches. With no AC I could sleep in a gas station under the flight deck. I was also required to spend 3 mouths assisting the cooks. During swim call we always had a boat in the water looking for sharks.

[@jimwjohnq.public]

Got lucky, never did the mess crank thing. Most of the ones that got sent cranking never came back, they wound up just staying in the supply department. As for the swim call thing, on all the ships I was on never had one swim call. A few steel beach picnics, but zero swim calls.

I served as a seabee but was lucky enough to get a tiger cruise before i joined aboard my older brothers ship(uss cushing). We sailed from san Francisco to Pearl Harbor, and it is one of my most memorable moments in life

[@doricedominick3836]

I served on the USS ENTERPRISE from 1982 to 1986 and this video brings back a lot memories

[@TesterAnimal1]

I think the logistics and the replenishment is the most amazing part of this documentary. An incredible operation. Compare that to the belching, malfunctioning, rusting Kuznetsov.

[@roses81731]

What a great video. Very informative. Thanks to all the sailors in the US Navy for your courageous service. 🇺🇸

[@petephelan969]

It's a good life. You just do your job and about once a month you get to go to a different foreign country. That's really awesome. It's really awesome to sleep on a ship aswell. It's like being rocked to sleep. It's a good deal.

Never had the pleasure of sharing any time on a boat with fellow serviceman, but I did serve the Seabees as a (BU) and couldn’t be more proud. Although I never boarded a ship for any reason, I still find it to be the most interesting aspect of the Navy. Hoorah Seabees

[@jimwjohnq.public]

I was on the USS America (CV-66) from 1975 to 1977 and the food was nothing to write home about. Sliders and fries weren't to bad but that was about it.

I got a self guided tour on the decommishioned JFK 67. Its very nasty in its current condition but at the same time its impressive in size and intimidating. Its currently moored at Philadelphia shipyard awaiting for disposal.

[@LoFiMofo]

I spent 9 months on the Kennedy (92/93 Med / Adriatic Sea cruise). I worked on the flight deck most of the time, 12 hour shifts. I saw her back in 2018 in the Philly shipyards after taking a tour of the Battleship New Jersey and the Chief giving the tour said she was there. Brought back so many memories but yeah she looked pretty rough sitting there.
