USS Gerald R. Ford Close up video from her trip to Oslo for the first time

[@rileywhittenberger5258]

As an older veteran of the U.S. Navy I am so proud of the mostly young men and women on board these ships that are doing a fine job in the service of my country. Thank you Norway for welcoming them.

[@XAndrew88]

A lot of people forget that 75% of the crew are under the age of 25

[@andersgulowsen2814]

Many of my friends are from USA. They have adopted the "have a party before x-mas with the boys" Get a good meal and some drinks and have fun.. 10-15 every year. It is a mix of USA and Europe.. Think we had a french dude as well once.. Just a nice evening out. And from what was on the news. Some people serving on that boat already had friends in Oslo .. and had.. a good time

[@andersgulowsen2814]

Oh crap.. Not boat.. Ship

[@ryanr3618]

Hooray, they're here! They're really here! Oh my USA they're here! We love them so much.

[@ilttpvvm]

Thank you from a grateful American.

Are you being sarcastic?

[@ozzy7763]

Thank you to the wonderful people of Norway , for taking care of our loved ones and welcoming them to your beautiful country!

[@richardheimvag6170]

Thank you very much for visiting with this great ship. Many were afraid when all of these sailors were going ashore in Oslo, but they all behaved in an exemplary manner and were great ambassadors for the United States.

There is no greater symbol of Majesty and Power on the seas. Wherever She sails the world knows she represents the best the U.S has to offer and our firm commitment Our friends. To our enemies, she represents the overwhelming might of the U.S. and terrifying reminder that we can reach out and touch you wherever you are.

Fun fact the Titanic could sit on the deck of the aircraft carrier and they could still put jets up along it and it wouldn’t even cover the entire length

If you've ever witnessed an aircraft carrier sailing by, they're quite impressive.

[@bryanmchugh1307]

DAYUMN that is one BIG boat

[@andersgulowsen2814]

Fun fact.. all the stores took dollars as payment when it visited.. Especially the pubs :) I was out and bought a few for them. And they normally dont even take Euros. Point is, at lest my generation know well that we owe our freedom to USA. And that has to be respected. You can complain about USA how much you like. But still thousands young men and women died in Europe. Each one is a life that fought another nations war. Because it was right. That can never be repaid. But we can remember.

[@frankmontez6853]

Yes the arsenal of freedom indeed. We the US can project massive amounts of force anywhere in the world because of this and so much airlift capability. Can everyone remember the gulf war and other engagements? 🇺🇸

[@ricklayeux5688]

[@kees1705vanwely]

OMG, that ship keeps coming into the harbor.

[@marcnoonan2187]

The Gerald R. Ford Class USS GERALD R FORD CVN-78.

[@vnvet2282]

Back around 1972 or so, we escorted the Enterprise to Pearl Harbor. You don't really appreciate how large carriers are at sea until you dock next to one. Don't know what their crew complement was, around 5,000 or so I think. It took forever for their crew to walk the gang plank to enjoy liberty - a steady stream of hormone-driven young guys looking to spend some money at the local bars.

[@jb76489]

You could put every combat plane, helicopter the RNAF has along will all its personnel on that ship and it wouldn’t be full

[@Vejitatheouji]

OK, but also look at that precious puppy 00:45

[@WojciechWachniewski-st1zm]

Name one of these ships at last after E. B. Ely! The first man ever to start on a plane from the deck of a warship deserves the honour of his name adorning the stern of a carrier!! ♍👍

[@samanderson7745]

I understand your sentiment. However, in recent history the US catrier fleet is typically named after former presidents. In fact, all but one, are named after politicians with the only exception being the Enterprise. That said, there is a planned Ford class carrier that is to be named after Doris Miller, who went full send baddass during Pearl Harbor.

[@offensivebias1898]

Oh no, you guys let Pitbulls into Norway?

[@KaoretheHalfDemon]

Hope the sailors didn’t get up to to much mischief while they were there. And that they were successful in whatever it was they were there to do.

The US Navy has the second highest aircraft count in the world. The first is the US Air Force. Not to mention they’re always accompanied by destroyers and other battleships along with 2-3 nuclear powered submarines. All equipped with the best technology in the world. You ain’t shooting shit. They’ll intercept whatever and you won’t get a second chance to fire again.
