When An Aircraft Carrier Goes To War | Forces TV

We had the chance to join the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Gulf as it launched its planes on operations against the Islamic State terror group in Syria. It's exactly the type of operation Britains twin aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, could perform when they enter service in the next few years...

Great video. I served on this ship from 90-94 in an F-18 squadron (VFA-15) as a Parachute Rigger. Working nights, there were a ton of night sorties all the time. I’m still amazed at how refined operations were and carried out. It was a well oiled machine. Everything had a specific process. Glad to have had the experience.

Years ago I was out salmon fishing in British Columbia. An old US Destroyer came up the sound. Canada buys a lot of old US military stuff. You cannot get an appreciation for how big these ships are until you see them from water level. This Destroyer was massive, yet 1/3rd to 1/2 the size of a carrier. Don't look from a dock.

I love our new QE carriers but the Americans have the coolest aircraft deployment style. I love those catapults

[@demetriusgrady8115]

I was on this deployment !

That moment when you realize - The B-2 spirit is half the cost of the USS Theodore Roosevelt

[@haroldchannel8883]

That G forces echoes in your ear is amazing to hear

[@flubadubdubthegreat1272]

This ship is gorgeous, and so are the aircraft on/in it, but I wish we lived in a world where all this was unnecessary.

[@ericjohnson7234]

That world may never come.

Thanks to America that’ll never happen

None of them are airmen. They are sailors and naval aviators. Sometimes they have a squadron of marine pilots as well.

Someone who has an air rate is called an airman

God bless the most powerful military country on planet earth.... USA

PATSFAN420 huh?

[@jvrdlc]

PATSFAN420 every County does that unfortunately brotha. When you are in charge of your own military, you can do whatever you please. Most middle Eastern countries do that for a living.. Don't you know? Anyways. God bless America.. World's best powerful country

Lol the Brit thinks the Theodore Roosevelt is called the Big Stick because it's a large carrier... I think it might be more about his famous quote "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

[@sisu9663]

Jesus you are dumb, that's obviously what he meant. A big stick is a heavy-hitting weapon (i.e. a large carrier). Also known as a metaphor. I'm an American and you make me embarrassed of our education system. I can't believe you thought you were being clever, everybody knows that quote...

[@FlopySloppyPoppy]

@@sisu9663 Oh I understand you swing the carrier at them as a hitting weapon. Got it! Thanks for clearing that up! Have a nice day 😊

[@sisu9663]

@@FlopySloppyPoppy "Speak softly and carry a big stick" means negotiating peacefully but also having strength in case things go wrong. The supercarrier is _metaphorically_ a big stick, a symbol of american strength, to be used if things go wrong. Now do you get it?

[@FlopySloppyPoppy]

@@sisu9663 Oh so when negotiating you shouldn't yell, now I get it

[@tristanknapp5790]

I envision that they mean the same thing to someone who understands both quotes which mean the same thing :p

Got a tour on it during my last deployment and was able to sit in the captains chair! Awesome to see again! Haha

The amount of fresh water it can filter is awesome. I'm sure water is an important part of any remote logistics chain.

[@liefbrunhilda926]

“The big stick” nickname is because of Roosevelt’s famous foreign policy of the Latin America’s. “Walk softly, but carry a big stick.”
