@Hello Robert, How are you doing?

This was cool We live in Virginia Beach and every time we go over the Lesnar bridge we like to look for the big ships.. I've never seen it from the ship's perspective.. really cool..

[@JeffOnboard]

Thank you so much Stacey. I live in Virginia Beach as well. If you all are on Instagram connect there @jeffs_vlogs When I'm on the ship I post almost daily from the ship. VBSTRONG

[@bruceg.6282]

I remember about 12 years ago there was some kind of backup and I counted about 15 ships sitting in the bay waiting to be called in to unload.

[@jamespowell2924]

Brings back old memories of meeting Pre Positioning Ship at pierside, at anchor and while underway at the mouth of the bay back in the mid 80's for IBM. I climbed a vertical rope ladder for one ship off the launch, fun carrying a bag of tools. Traveled to Diego Garcia as well to service same ships and stayed aboard for a week in the Port Captain's Cabin. Great food and good times and loved the engine room mechanical tours.

Grew up on the Elizabeth river, fished where nit is as a boy in the late 1950s to graduating and after moving back on Scott’s Creek near hospital point. Pulled containers from all ports as a trucker fo a few years. Always ran out into the bay stripper fishing, croaker, spade fish. Great video. I live in upper Bay Area on middle peninsular . Great video.

[@bigrich1381]

Born & raised in Norfolk. Rode in my Grandpa's charter fishing boat all around the Chesapeake Bsy every day in the summer. Got to go in the Ocean View Amusement Park for free when I was 13 because they were making a movie. Joined Navy & was stationed on an oiler on pier 4. Got out of Navy & worked with the Long Shoremsn a bit. Loaded & unloaded ships at NIT. Then drove Uber on Norfolk Naval Base for 4 years. Been living at the Oceanfront for 10 years. Know the whole area well, the water & land.

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

Well, sir I am well schooled now on the identification of the ships. I am obliged to mention that I had interacted with members of a medical team that came to Guyana on the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) back in 2010:Operation Continuing Promise(CP 10). This beauty of a vessel lay anchored off the coast of New Amsterdam some 25 nm. I saw for the first time the Chinooks in operation buzzing the once quiet skyline. The base was at my school where I teach; J.C.Chandisingh Secondary. The Chinooks would land in the adjacent cricket field surrounded by zinc fence. However,the fence couldn't withstand the powerful shaft of air from the Chinooks' rotors as they prepare to land; most zinc sheets were blown away! I couldn't believe my eyes: a sight to behold. And better yet aviation is my real passion. So they had to land at an alternative site; next to Central Corentyne High School approximately 6 miles away from my school . I understand they conducted 40 surgical operations onboard USS Iwo Jima in addition to some that was done at the local hospital and the hundreds of regular patients they would see at the school base. These Service men and women looked so unique in their uniforms. I particularly love the Navy uniform. I once again would like to thank the US Government and the men and women of the Joint Services for their hours of work done here: serve humanity. Jeff, thanks as usual for bringing me here. Regards from Guyana,South America.

@Hello Mark, How are you doing?

[@radamchak]

New Independence class. LCS - Littoral Combat Ship. Trimaran configuration allows fast cruise in sea state 5. Made by Austral and General Dynamics.

[@chromabotia]

Right you are! There are two of these that are basically the same. I believe that they have two helicopter hangers and launch facilities at the stern. Gas powered turbines make these really fast ~ 55 knots. Scuttlebutt has it that the Navy is not entirely pleased with this design and no more are planned to be produced.

[@TinkinLA]

The lcs is built by Austal in Mobile. Others are being built.

[@jwenting]

@@chromabotia "not entirely pleased" is putting it mildly. They're extremely unreliable, difficult to maintain, spend far more time dockside undergoing repairs than at sea. The "modular system" that would have allowed easy swapping between roles is turning out to be a nightmare in reality, with swapping taking way longer and being way more involved than anticipated. And on top of that, due to funding cuts the main sensor fit has never been installed, leaving them without a viable radar installation (a fate that's also plagueing the Zumwalt class destroyers).

Tfs very interesting video. My brother lives in Virginia Beach, so I go there often. I take route 13 and travel on the Chesapeake Bay bridge and tunnel. That’s a very long bridge with the 2 tunnels. It was nice to see where the ships would cross over where the tunnels are. Driving in a car you don’t get to see this. Again tfs.

[@Amr51002]

That navy ship you was talking about that trimaran. It's a LCS (littoral combat ship) the navy uses them for high speed missions like anti piracy and things. It doesn't draw alot of water and it's really fast. Its all aluminum . They are built in my hometown Mobile,Al at Austal USA. I worked there for awhile.

Very interesting. Wow watching how the pilot gets on the boat is something. That would be too nerve racking for me, very dangerous. I never knew that is how it was done.

[@edwardweeden2834]

Comments below have correctly given names of carriers and identified the class of Littoral Combat Ship (shallow draft, high speed, trimaran). The "oiler" designated T-AO 188 is the Humphreys which can be ID'd easily by its black fuel transfer pipes hanging along its sides. By the way, numbers indicate the number of ships of that type built. So CVN-77 (H. W. Bush) is the 77th aircraft carrier built (Langley was number 1, and mine (Ranger) was 61). The "CV" designation indicates 'carrier, fixed wing aircraft' and the 'N' (obviously) designates nuclear. Over the decades other letters were added after "CV" such as 'A' (attack' or 'E' (escort).

[@jamespiazza7753]

Okay this video is actually awesome!! Can you explain more about pilot please? Does the pilot just come out to steer the ship into the dock? Also, why isn’t there just a pilot onboard for the whole voyage ? Does the ship just run on auto pilot GPS the whole way until the end?

[@dods4496]

The pilot comes up when the ship is entering and leaving port or when passing narrow channels. The pilot cannot be onboard the whole voyage because he doesn't know how to navigate on the next port since he only knows how to navigate in that certain port or area only. Sometimes, the Captain even perform self-pilotage. Yes, the steering wheel can be auto-pilot or manual but the second officer does the voyage planning.

[@mbahomeimprovement]

Can you still book a passenger cabin on a container ship? I heard some where years ago that they have several passengers cabins.

[@i8shrimp2day]

AmericanOG yes, most newer ships do have guest /customer cabins but they cannot be publicly booked, as in say, like a cruise ship. It’s a little bit of who you know; but moreso those accommodations are meant for customers who are large clients of the carrier; or for ride-alongs. Kind of like a charter arrangement; if you hire the whole boat to carry your load, they will throw in onboard accommodations for your executives or what have you. Some that I’ve seen are actually pretty damn impressive too. Just as nice as any cruise ship VIP cabins. Pool and hot tub included, and the dining is superb.
