Life Aboard Massive US Navy Ships Battling Waves at Sea

[@andrewrother-ju6ve]

I'm a very proud navy vet , served active duty from 1986-1990 and in the reserves. From 1990- 1994 and again 2002-2010. And I love the underway time and those ruff seas, may God bless the U.S. Navy and America too.

[@ardiffley-zipkin9539]

😊God bless our Navy. They keep us safe at home and around the world. Remembering my Dad who served in WW2, USS Oberon. Rest in Peace.

I see that the deck apes' jobs hasn't changed any since I was in the navy from 1966-70. Thank God I was a fresh air snipe.

[@TechnikMeister2]

Best not to get too carried away. My son graduated from the Australian Naval Academy at HMAS Cerebus in 2004. It came time for the seamanship test. They left Port Melbourne and entered the Southern Ocean south of Tasmania in a Frigate and the test was to do a low loop through the Southern Ocean and then to Perth on the Western Australian south west tip. It was 2400 nautical miles through the most dangerous ocean in the world, going the wrong way to the swells which averaged 80 feet. This was a normal transit for out Navy. Of the ten new graduates, three remained on duty for all their watches. My son was one. The others were washed out as unsuitable. He is now a Commander of an Air Warfare Destroyer on patrol north of Indonesia on a 12 mouth deployment. They do transits of the Taiwan Straits to annoy the Chinese. This is proper Navy.

As an old DDG sailor, circa 1966, I found it fascinating to see how modern technology has affected the duties of sailors on a DDG at sea. I was a radarman (RD2), today known as an Operations Specialist, and CIC looked like a different world from what I experienced over 50 years ago, which is to be expected, given the rapid evolution of technology. It was good to see all those young men and women taking care of business in the modern Navy. Thanks for the video!

[@Jp-bz3xj]

I was an OS from 99-2012 onboard 3 different DDGs. Loved every minute!

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

I was an RD on my first ship DLG-12 USS Dahlgren between 70 and 72, and she later became a DDG in 1975. I was an OS on my second ship USS Richmond K Turner DLG-20 between 72 and 73 when NTDS came out. She was reclassified a CG in 75 as well. When I reported on board my second ship and walked into CIC I felt like I was on a starship compared to my first ship. This video brought back some memories.

[@vicb.2708]

BT2 on the Ingram, DD-938. The North Sea and North Atlantic were a couple of the most awesome displays of nature's power I have ever witnessed.

Another RD/OS tin can sailor here we sailed through a typhoon for a week coming back from Vietnam in the spring of 1973. I saw the bow go completely underwater many times.

I served on USS Semmes DDG 18 1983-84, USS Cape Cod AD 43 1984-86, USS Kinkaid DD 965 1987-89, USS Whidbey Island LSD 41 1993-96, and USS Wasp LHD 1 2000-03...The Helmsman doesn't have the option to freely maneuver the ship. Only the Officer Of The Deck (OOD) and the Conning Officer can give the helmsman orders.

[@disgruntledconservativevet1798]

These new ships ride like Cadillacs. My 1st ship was the USS Marvin Shields FF1066, and I was a BT at the time. I retired after 25.5 years as an MRC. Watching videos like this brings back a lot of memories.

Late 70s in the North Sea with 39 foot swells on the USS Shreveport. The only time I ever got seasick. You know it's bad when the deck becomes a bulkhead.

Wow as an Air Force Military Brat growing up, I was always impressed by our Navy. Glad my Dad survived 2 tours of Vietnam. Now days the Navy is like sailing a beefy computer built especially to blowtheshitoutta something big.

It's not a "whistle," it's a Bosn's pipe. USN 1967-1987.

[@cjn585]

Thanks.

[@victorbejaranojr.7105]

That's right, bos'n pipe; the fog horn is actually called "ships whistle". Also, the helsman cannot make any course adjustments apart from commands given by the conning officer. Finally, the ship does not have a ground search radar - it's a surface search radar.

[@JusticeAlways]

[@RJM1011]

The USA has the BEST navy in the world it's the people who lead it that are the problem.

[@edwardweeden8837]

The Helmsman is much more at ease maintaining a course in oncoming seas than in following seas. At many times it is necessary to make relatively minor adjustments in order to maintain a 'steady' course. You would be able to tell if you are NOT maintaining a course if one of the Officers on the Navigation Bridge tells you (perhaps in a loud voice but not shouting) "Helmsman mind your helm". I am sure it is much easier now that there is a 'digital Helm' - Ed Weeden, Helmsman, USS RANGER, CV-61.

[@yabbadabbadoo8225]

I'm guessing this vid was clipped together by a 4 or 5 year old?? Pretty good work for a junior set.

I think following the U.S Navy's strategy of using Drag Queens to help with recruitment would be the best course of action. It will serve to swell the ranks, and improve esprit de corps. More so the U.S Navy has reached its goal of becoming the fattest branch in the Military, surpassing even the Air Force. They have set the standard to follow. Navy Leads the Way.

Yes the Bow goes under water. I rode out a Typhoon off of Okinawa once. We went into the Typhoon for 3 Days. That's the only way to ride it out. It was a Small Destroyer. We were Sailors once & Young. 💪
