My son is serving on the Nimitz. Very proud of him and all the vets that are protecting this country. Thank you all who have served

Mine also, sailor Devon Lowry,they possibly know each other

[@64kraut]

As a young man I was in the Marine Corps. As a old man and uncle of a sailor on the Nimitz I was fortunate to have taken a 4 day 'Tiger Cruise' on the Nimitz in, I think, 1998 or 99. It made me wish I had joined the Navy. Sailors are badass too. I loved it. Two of my sons joined the Navy. One made it and one passed away before he made it to boot camp. North Korea better stand down.

That would have been when it switched from Norfolk to Bremerton for the first time. My dad was on it from 83-88.... we lived in the Churchland part of Portsmouth and then for a year live at Jackson Park in Bremerton. He got off in June of 88 just before it headed to South Korea for the Olympics

Nice!!!!

[@machia-mw1lm]

The air power in this US Naval battle group is more powerful than most nations entire Air Forces .

[@machia-mw1lm]

Eric Turner , This Armada along with ships from Japan are off the coast of North Korea because it's leader has threatened the United States and Japan . North Korea's people are poor and live in daily fear of their brutal and dictatorial leader who uses their economic wealth to build his own twisted ambitions of a nuclear arsenal to threaten his neighbors and the United States with nuclear destruction .I think your comments are a mix of the brainwashing you have received over the years concerning the United States military and the other is your own departure from reality . The missiles that this mad man fires are real . This isn't a game .

[@Repented008]

That's why "most nations" ain't big on air forces any more. They keep SAMs. Fly away little birdie! lol.

[@machia-mw1lm]

Hey Felix , would you care to play a game of chess ? I'll put your King in check while you're trying to impress people by making them think you're smart . Of course China is a problem as they have adopted American Capitalism while we go the way of Socialized Europe . You want to have a conversation with me ? Drop the insults . North Korea is a problem too . Sometimes this world is surprisingly Black & White .

[@DininDalael]

Machia, insults aside felix is right. North korea barely has the capability to hit the United States. It has no real navy or airforce. Its strength lies in number of troops and artillery. It also has only one major city. North Korea isn't a military threat to the US at all. The only real reason they can possibly want nukes, is to prevent invasion.

[@Repented008]

Interestingly enough, they said about the same thing concerning Japan in the thirties....and then pearl harbor.

[@Workswell]

WOW, Awesome. I knew there were three carrier groups headed there but I had no idea they would be in such tight formation. Quite a sight. An awesome display of power Feels good to be a Veteran

[@MrEjidorie]

USS Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she has been operating all over the world for 42 years. USS Nimitz is still in the front line, and strong enough to eradicate North Korea. It`s an amazing worship.

[@gavinmoore7450]

We worship your warship

[@krashd]

Any ship with nuclear cruise missiles could easily eradicate a small nation.

[@lomgshorts3]

Not if you irradiated it to the point of "unburied death". The Nimitz can do that easily.

I was about 10 and on holiday at my aunt's in Bermuda when the 1st Gulf War broke out and seeing the US Armada Navy join up with the British Navy which was returning from patrols around the Falkland Islands was a scary yet amazing sight that I will never forget. She had a house on the water front and you could see ocean from left to right but It was just filled with warships. Spin tingling even at such a young age

[@andymckane7271]

Nice video. As a child, I attended 6th grade at the Chester W. Nimitz elementary school at Pearl Harbor. My father served aboard an APA in the Pacific during WWII, and later in submarines in the 1950s to 1961. I served as a hospital corpsman, 1970-1971. My brother later served as a chaplain for four years. More often than not, I can be found wearing NAVY and USNA t-shirts (although I'm not a graduate of the Naval Academy). We McKanes dearly love the United States Navy. Go Navy and see the world! Thanks for posting this video.

[@unitedstatesdale]

GREAT VIDEO !!!

[@dpm-jt8rj]

The water is so calm and the crew at the helm were calm as a table top. True professionals indeed.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I saw a video 12 to 18 months ago that was longer in duration but had this six+ minutes of video, I am curious if you have that longer video? It is an impressive video, both that one and this one as well. Nice job.

[@watchmestress4182]

As a child in the 1980s I was able to get on the USS Kitty hawk during San Francisco Fleet week. They allowed us on the bridge and was asked by a Sailor if I wanted to sit in the Captains Seat. I remember being in utter amazement looking out those massive windows surrounded by buttons and levers. I was too young to understand the privilege being given in the moment. I recall the saoilors being so friendly and helpful it was an amazing experience.

[@jbmbryant]

Glad to see that the Nimitz has finally left Bremerton. When I moved from there in Oct 2016 they were doing extensive repairs. Going to be a sad day when they retire her.

[@user-fk5ub6ow9b]

thank you US Navy

[@eram64]

김대환급항공모함 would you say South Koreans for the most part don't really like the U.S. or like you are mostly grateful that we got your backs?

[@user-fk5ub6ow9b]

Marc P. Of course, most people in South Korea want self-defense. However, the South Korean military does not have a good situation due to defense corruption and poor military service. And we have little combat experience since the Vietnam War. Therefore, I think we should resort to US forces.

[@user-fk5ub6ow9b]

Marc P. Only a handful of people dislike US forces in South Korea. They are unconditionally crying out for peace despite North Korea's provocations, which is a strange logic. The USFK is an inevitable presence for us

I was newly assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk in the Persian Gulf back in 1993 when we were relieved by the USS Nimitz. The Nimitz was bigger than our carrier and nuclear powered but the Kitty Hawk was still a kick ass carrier and got the job done. We just wouldn't sleep much, always working on the flight deck.

[@lomgshorts3]

Not "Maritime Defence Force" anymore. The "destroyer" that is a carrier flys the hated Rising Sun battle flag once again. The flag that killed so many of America's most precious blood, who died like warriors that you could never equal.

[@chadobama528]

longshorts3 Are you just trying to antagonize everyone here? The world doesn’t need to be reminded of the horrors of World War Two every day, Japan was our enemy then, but now they are a trusted, capable, and quite honorable ally to be able to fight alongside. Stop trying to start futile arguments...

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I am curious why the CO and the Officer of the Bridge are look off the port side at the other craft? It did not look like anyone on the bridge was facing and looking over the bow. Was it to maintain spacing and speed? The helmsman seemed to be doing a lot of see-sawing. I love watching operations like that, orderly, efficient, and professionally well done.

[@shaikhkhalaf7448]

How Brave US NAVY proud of you Salute you soldiers Well Done

[@whooziss]

One thing to keep in mind is that this is a dog and pony show, with the ships lined up impressively close and rigidly in formation with each other. This was done purely as a PR stunt, just as a cool demonstration of this incredible international teamwork. There is a very rare photograph on line somewhere of all four Iowa class battleships together, off the Virginia coast. The only time all four were ever together. This will almost definitely be the only time three Nimitz's will ever be together, so document it for posterity.

[@Kerry0101]

Back in 1992-93 in my former self while on deployment on USS Ranger CV-61, during Operation Southern Watch, we pulled out of the Gulf and went off the coast of Somalia for show of force. I was working in the hanger bay (V-3) and the morning we awoke to arriving there. Imagine this large carrier off the coast and showing its force. Very impressive. I was part of history. Yea part of the team which was on board. Now fast forward to this show of force in 2017. You cannot phatom the show of force here. It just blew me away. This brought up a point of a Law that can apply to show of force, even though the law was for computers. The value of your network Squared. In this case if you have one Carrier squared, it equals = 1 Carrier. If you have two Carriers squared = 4 Carriers. If you have 3 Carriers squared = 9 Carriers. So in the show of force for this operation taking all the aircraft all the missiles on site with the other ships supporting and protecting the Carriers, you really do not want to mess with the USA.

The way that guy is turning the wheel back and forth doesn't make any sense to me. Ex-TM2 USS Piedmont AD-17, Uss Dixon AS-37 USN 68-72.

[@Canopus68]

Gee I've never run across the Dixon. I think a former boss and friend was on her. He's in CGR now. I guess it's because my ship always did the triangle--Scotland, Spain, then Bremerton for refit. Once in a while Kings Bay, Norfolk, Charleston. USS Canopus AS 34 69-72

[@Newtire]

I heard they sunk her for target practice. I was a Plank Owner. Just Commissioned in 1972! However, they gave the Piedmont ("Doc" or "Piedemaru") to the Turkish Navy and it's still floating! The girls in Subic Bay called us the USS Kuripot ! A lot of fond memories-wow!

[@davidaslin789]
