I was on the Oriskany and Ticonderoga between 66 and 69. Both ships had one enlisted mess. I remember during non flight days, it was get in line all day long. 2000 or so crew members waiting to get fed in a 300 or so seating area. The new sailor has a sweet life on the carrier! Enough of complaining, I learned how to be proud of my navy days.

FIVE chow line options for E-5 & below on my Nimitz-class: The 2 main lines serving meal-of-the-day back aft, a line serving fried food & pizza up forward, a cold-cuts deli bar, and finally a "taco bar" (open 23 hrs per day). E-6 have the option of going to the First-class mess. Then there's the chiefs' mess and wardrooms...

We were fortunate enough to be invited for a Family Day Cruise on the Carl Vinson in 1995. We went out of Alameda, under the Bay Bridge then under the Golden Gate. Unbelievable. As we were going through the Bay, they’d lean the ship to the left so we could see the Embarcadero, then lean it to the right for a good view of Alcatraz. We were escorted by Firefighting “Boats” Spraying their water Cannons. It looked like that tower was gonna hit the Golden Gate. And as soon as we cleared it a lot of antennas folded up because the WOULD have hit the bridge. They took us out well beyond the Farallon Islands. That ship is FAST! I was thinking “You could pull a couple thousand skiers!” They had us all come down to the Hangar deck for Lunch. They had one A-10 Warthog to look at. While we were having lunch, they Arrested four Fighter Jets from NAS Lemoore. After lunch, we rode the Jet elevators up to the flight deck, where they commenced to put on one fine Airshow. Including breaking the Sound Barrier right over the deck. As we finally were docking at the end of a 15 hour day, the Captain thanked us for choosing “Bald Eagle Cruise Lines”. It takes a WHILE to park one of those. It was an unforgettable experience. Cheers.

Just to clarify: The carrier on the video is not a Gerald R Ford class carrier (as mentioned in the video's description). It's USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), which is a Nimitz class. Gerald R Ford class carriers are numbered 78 and up. Ship's classes are based on the first ship of its kind, hence the Nimitz and Gerald R Ford class. All ships after that will be called that class, until a new class is made. *Nimitz Class* USS Nimitz (CVN-68), USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69), USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) [the one on the video], USS George Washington (CVN-73), USS John C Stennis (CVN-74), USS Harry S Truman (CVN-75), USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), USS George W Bush (CVN-77) *Gerald R Ford Class* USS Gerald R Ford (CVN-78), USS John F Kennedy (CVN-79), USS Enterprise (CVN-80)

Covid is just the distraction, while we struggle with masks or not, vaxx or not, employment or not our elected officials and bureaucrats behind the curtain are quietly removing our private property rights, our right to travel, our right to assemble, banning protest, our ability to use cash money and bringing in digital id and digital currency and now seizing peoples bank accounts. TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT ! Until the people wake up and you impact the World Economic Forum affiliated politicians and big businesses that run government and are supporting and driving the lock downs, nothing is going to change. The World Economic Forum, the United Nations UN Agenda 2030 and government controlled media are our biggest threats. Covid is the mechanism by which they are destroying the middle class and private/mom and pop businesses. Many of our government officials including Federal MP Chrystia Freeland, Conseritive Michelle 'Pronouns' Rempel, Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and BC Premier John Horgan (and i am sure there are many more) are affiliated with the World Economic Forum (you will own nothing and be happy). What little democracy we have left is in the process of being subverted. Our elections are supposed to "feel" organic and grassroots but these people are groomed and then presented for us to "elect" and then they magically do the opposite of what we want them to do. They are going to tax you out of your car with $10 a litre gas and force you to live in their smart cities, when will you say ENOUGH?! The whole idea is to print money till they destroy people's savings through low interest and high inflation and collapse the dollar and bring in a one world digital currency, add to that more crushing debt for our grand kids to never be able to pay off. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.“ Edmund Burke [“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”] An evil enemy will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.' - Sun Tzu The government will tax you to the point that you are paralyzed financially. The bankers will ensure we stay in debt. The pharmaceutical companies will ensure we stay sick. The weapons manufacturers will ensure we keep going to war. The media will ensure we are prevented from knowing the truth. The government will ensure that all of this is done legally.

I agree of course,but in the 70,s considering how old the Midway was then it did not take much to be "advanced" :) Or even wilder from a radiomans view how about every 5 yrs since then the tech. was about 5 yrs behind the real world, a bunch of burner cell phones now make talking on Ham radios look like stone age :) or how fast satelites took over real time pics, communications etc. I did 2 cruises also on 2 carriers and work ups on two others.

[@supertracker9823]

@@letsbeavenue The VTOL systems on Harriers are notoriously unstable and use all manual systems. Combine that with the rather restricting amount of weapons you actually mount on it as well and it's a rather poor jet. One of the F-35s main goals was to replace the Harrier and it is succeeding. Also to correct the other guy from what I know it's not all mechanical failures. I forgot the exact reason but it was something to do with the downdraft of the VTOL engines and the hot air from the engines getting back into the intake causing the jet to flip over onto the cockpit many times. I think his number of 60 is accurate but I can't confirm. I typed a full paragraph for this, not sure why though. I wasn't in the mood to reply to any of the defund the military people I guess.

Best trick was to throw a line over the flight deck when anchored and reel in the local delicacy fish. The Wardroom loved it, you got a fame name and the chef would always do you a private butterfly mack n chips with garlic. I caught a 22 lb tuna without knowing wtf it was .

Telling a country "I can bomb you anytime" does not quite have the geopolitical effect of parking 3 ships outside their waters with enough firepower to level them. This is what happened several years ago with North Korea, shortly leading to the peace talks between Trump and Kim. It's not the actual firepower that aircraft carriers are used for- they've been critical in diplomatic exchanges more often, without dropping a bomb.

It seems a carrier could be used either way. It is a portable airfield. Assaulting and defending sometimes happen simultaneously.

Now multiply that by 11 for the US Navy alone.

As of now, smaller conflicts threaten the lives of mostly our ground troops, with some exceptions, but if a war were to break out tomorrow between first world countries, the danger that our navy members would be put in would be extreme.
