USS Nimitz View Of Carriers Closing In On North Korea

[@pulido6974]

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

[@notmenoteva7453]

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

[@kahvac]

Thank you both for his service.

[@jimanderson1016]

Thank you. I was on NIMITZ 32 years ago.

[@jimbeaux89]

[@DowntownDeuce2]

You should be proud! That your son not only had the desire, but what it takes to make the cut, in such a significant historical vocation. Godspeed

[@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.

Sorry for your loss.

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.

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.

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

Nimitz museum right here in Fredericksburg, Texas. Beautiful. Please check out their FB page.

[@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.

[@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.

[@hgrgic]

Also in the video JS Ise (DDH-182), a Hyūga-class helicopter destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force

[@Orca19904]

I figured it was either the Ise or the Hyuga, but couldn't make out the number on the bow.

[@bassmith448bassist5]

[@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...

[@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.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

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

[@머환중사]

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.

[@머환중사]

I was newly assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk in the Persian Gulf back in 1993 when we were relieved by the USS Nimitz.

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.

Things sure have changed! I was a helmsman/leehelmsman (50%/50%) at sea. We had a big ass wooden rimmed brass wheel and separate controls for each engine order on the engine order telegraph. 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]

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

[@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.

When I was on active duty, we had over 50 Mk 43 thermonuclear weapons aboard our Essex Class (U.S.S. Ticonderoga [CVA-14]) carrier. We had FAR more power than all the bombs dropped in WW2. Nowadays, they claim they don't have any nukes aboard carriers, but I'm not convinced, because I had to sign two pieces of paper, in 1963, saying that I would not tell any Japanese national that we had nuclear weapons aboard our carrier. If I told anyone, I was to be stripped of my Secret clearance, kicked off my "Special Weapons" loading crew (which was the best one in the entire Navy), court-martialled, and sent to Leavenworth, for 20 years.
