Life Inside the HULL of a MASSIVE US Aircraft Carrier?

[@jw6857]

I served aboard as ships company for 6 years aboard Independence (CV-62), was airwing or was TAD to just about every carrier in my career. Spent about a year and a half on the USS America bringing my Sea Pay to just under 13 years at 20 year retirement. Being on a carrier was a tough life then. But I loved it, it was the highlight of my life, every time I looked up at them and then climbed aboard. My favorite system was the Arresting gear machinery room. I has massive brakes the squeel and shriek like the hounds of Hell. I love watching new guys when the first plane traps right above our heads. I don't remember many that didn't fall to the ground. You could feel the concussion and slam of the plane striking the deck. GO NAVY.

No joke!

[@quetzalcoatlz]

With that logic go sell 90% of your possessions.

[@pacman407]

​@quetzalcoatlz some things can't be bought but outside the U.S. Im also not on a Naval carrier. You can't tell me there are no plastic and metal utensil companies in the U.S.? GTFO here with dumbass statements like. It's a naval carrier from items that are not exaxtly from pur allies, not a private home. If it said made in Britain, Germany, Japan, Taiwan even, no problems. China, problem.

When you're out at sea, you take on replenishments from wherever you're sailing through...

[@varghesejohn2412]

Fantastic👍

[@WintersWar]

The closest thing to an imperial star destroyer you can get.

[@robertdamin8723]

I have the greatest respect for the Marines who are living in one of the biggest Aircraft Carrier.

[@tomdarco2223]

Right On Go Army!

[@anthony2816]

We in the Navy really appreciate you guys in the Army, because you go to places that are really tough for us. Whaddya call them? Continents, right?

The canteen ! Food looks awesome

[@John-of3ur]

Lol at the Russian bot asking for classified info.

[@DanBeech-ht7sw]

Trump sold that information to Russia, China and Saudi Arabia 4 more than 3 years ago

[@telinoz1975]

Ha ha, yes, I chuckled at that part of the video. As if anybody will just post information on the secret parts of this ship... I was going to troll post the channel, and talk about the di-lithium crystal processing station and how that is a whale of a time.... but, saw your comment 😂

[@kaalbairav8944]

What a fantastic system to feed thousands of CREWS !

[@kennykanada]

Excellent video! What about the Infirmary/Hospital space?

[@scottschneider7401]

Wow!!! Bombs and food courts in the same general area!!! What an operation!!!😁

[@tested123]

almost everyone looks like theyre 22. how the hell do these kids learn all this complicated shit so quick? trades take 10,000 hrs and even then theres sooooo much more learning to do.

[@ComancheWarrior63]

A-School and then on-the-job supervised training. It just works.

[@followyourbliss101]

one of the pics of an officer's quarters had an old Mac SE or SE30 on the desk - that's like early 90s tech... the capt's room had what looked like bollards and velvet ropes - must've been a retired museum ship

[@crazymilitaryaircraft-q9e]

my friends served on this ship, it brings back our sad memories.when watching this video, because my friends are in heaven😓😓

[@Jason_556]

Sorry about your friends! May they Rest In Peace!

[@100Proof-n5d]

That’s what you get when you go into the military 🎉

[@youknowme8578]

​@@100Proof-n5djoined February 2024, "this channel has no content" nothing more than a bot attempting to make Americans afraid to join the military. It's not working little troll from China.

[@ka9dgx]

What's in the big underwater chamber right at the very tip of the ship? I'd imagine something without crew in it, in case of collision, like a water or fuel tank.
