@@dmac5497considering none of what you said is true I’m thankful reshoring is happening, record breaking re investment is happening in the US as we speak and according to the worldbank the US economy grew 3.4 percent and China grew under 4 percent which means the U.S. beat the expectations despite China having ten times cheaper worker pay, longer hours and more control of their workers😂. Also Biden ended their chip manufacturing with one signature a few months ago.
@@tarn1135that’s not true at all😂 record breaking investment and building is happening in the US hell TSMC alone has already invested about 50 billion in Arizona alone to be a massive chip manufacturing plant with ow in Texas almost ready.
As a DD-963 Class Plankowner, this video, along with the previous G. R. Ford Class videos, gives a renewed sense of pride in our Navy, as well as respect and admiration towards our nations shipbuilders. Thanks for the update, and looking forward to more.
I'm crying too. They're gonna expropriate the last of us middle class to pay for all this. Elites don't pay taxes, they pay accountants. Half this country, and the tens of millions of illegals, are not paying taxes, they're getting benefits.
Awesome video! It's great to see the birth and construction of the new USS Enterprise!!! Can't wait to see the greatest name in the Navy back on the seas!
CVN 79 should have been named ENTERPRISE. Instead of being named for a serial womanizer who should have been court martialed for improperly hazarding and losing his only command. There should ALWAYS be a ship named ENTERPRISE in the fleet. CVN 65 crew member, 1980-1984
In my mind, ENTERPRISE is a name that will live on forever in the US Navy. Probably the fourth ship to bear the name and the third aircraft carrier to bear the name.
@John Jones Obviously, you know very little about what happened to PT-109. He did not hazard his boat in any way. He was part of a 3 boat patrol section that was attempting to interdict a Japanese reinforcement group. His boat was not the only one lost that night, nor was it the only boat damaged in a collision during the war.
I was an inside machinist there in the 80s. Truly is amazing to see a carrier or a submarine being built from scratch, but i eventually left to work for a small shop because the shipyard was just too huge. Just finding a parking spot every day was a hassle, plus the walk to the machine shop took forever.
What an awesome video! Thank you to all who build them, service them, and certainly all of you who serve on them. You all play a big part in protecting me and my family. Thank you all!
I agree. As not only a US Navy veteran who served on the USS Nimitz during Operation Southern Watch, I am also an avid Navy history buff. It is awesome to see the Doris Miller Aircraft Carrier being made. I just wonder if they will make a Muriel Twibel ship next, since he was a tinkerer during WW2 and made the Rescue Breathing Apparatus that, I think is still being used even today, in the aide of fighting fires and preventing smoke inhalation when fighting fires on board Navy ships.
I disagree. I think we should go back to naming our aircraft carriers after great battles like Yorktown, Lexington, Saratoga and Essex. I don't like the idea of naming our carriers after people, presidents or otherwise. Battles like Midway, Coral Sea and Philippine Sea are more modern naval battles that have all had carriers named after them as well. I would also love to see some of the other historical names used like Hornet, Wasp and Enterprise. I was very happy to see the new Enterprise though!
@renegadebiker24 We have not used the RBA/OBA since the early 80s. We use a system very similar to what civilian firefighters have used for years called the SCBA, Self Contained Breathing Apparatus. It is a much better system, easily recharged, and worn on your back out of the way.
I am a product of the best ship builders I was born in Newport News in 1975 during the building of some of the best aircraft carriers. My parents were welders on the enterprise aircraft carriers and did their job to the best possible standards. All ship builders keep up the good work. Of course, all my father got for his hard work was half of a lung due to all the asbestos.
We need more Americans willing to do work like this. Also need to build more housing to accommodate them. Our shipyards aren't really located in densely populated major urban areas, especially BIW.
This one most certainly is. Along with the other three or four that we have within about fifty miles of nns. The areas are so densely populated BECAUSE of the yards. We just need more yards cause there is only seven in the whole country that do military work
@@unspheredwings7859 Shipyards have consistently cited worforce/labor shortage as a problem. Building more affordable housing nearby is one obvious solution to that Also it is ironic that all the shipyards located by densely populated areas have pretty much shuttered. Philly, Brooklyn, Massachussett's yards etc
@@Dominator2930 yea but unfortunately building housing for some reason pisses off a certain set of locals to the point local politicians don't wanna do it
@@chrisduitsman2918 2025! She was decommissioned in 2012. 13 years later. I understand rhat removing the reactors is still the biggest stumbling block. They will literally have to cut the ship up to get at them and then what are they going to do with them?.
@@afenijmeijer9027 she was born with 6 reactors, but died with only 4. In order to refuel these ships the reactors need to be cut out anyway. This is a well rehearsed and well known process for the guys at NNNSY and also at PSNS in Washington. The spent reactors and fuel are taken to a holding facility in Idaho usually via rail in specialized cars.
@@afenijmeijer9027 I looked it up, you are correct. I talked to a buddy that served in the reactor department onboard and he said there were only 6 when he served on her and they really only had 4 going at a time. The engineers who designed the ship figured a 1 for 1 boiler to reactor as if it were an oil fired ship, but it turned out that the reactors much better at making steam than oil fired boilers were so they “overbuilt” her.
My grandfather's last full-time job for over 40+ years, the first for a few of my uncles. I spent three weeks there for some training when it was owned by Northrop Grumman, then known as Northrop Grumman Ship Systems. I worked for Northrop Grumman Information Technology at the time. My grandfather, amongst other machinists, helped build the CVN-65 USS Enterprise, took me aboard her when I was six or seven. I remember that huge crane.
This is great but we really need to ramp up US Naval shipbuilding. We as a nation need to be producing at least 4 to 5 times as many ship as we are currently. Otherwise we are going to fall behind the Chinese in functional warships soon. I know that we have a tonnage and missile advantage to the Chinese but that could soon erode if we do not do something about it and I know we can do something. We proved it in WW2 when we built over 1200 warships in just 4 years, building 400 to 500 in the next 17 years doesn't seem impossible.
When I left basic and got to the fleet, my ship was the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71. I got to her one month after her commissioning. My first two years aboard her was in and out of Newport News during shakedown and post shakedown availability. Then did a 3 month North Atlantic cruise and a 3 month GITMO, then an 8 month Med cruise. Got out just as Desert Storm was brewing up. But just outside the carrier drydock was a strip of Asian restaurants we call Ho Chi Min Trail. Some of the best Korean and Vietnamese food I have ever had to this day. But Newport News is a very rough area. Many sailors have regretted going out at night there...
Great video of our amazing shipbuilders. I Pray that you work as hard and as fast as you can. Your lives and the lives of your families and all of us depend on it. God Bless America
I should have joined the navy in the late 80s instead of the Army! It was hard to pass up the college assistance the US Army was willing to give me. I would have been happier in the US Navy. I always wanted to serve on an aircraft carrier. The USS Lexington came down to NOLA one year when I was still in high school. She was a training carrier at the time but to walk in her hanger deck was awe inspiring! After having read about all the WW2 battles and the carriers that served in the US Navy during WW2 all through my childhood, being able to walk her decks was a real treat! Every once in a while I go see the USS Alabama and USS Texas too. I have yet to go see the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge. I need to do that soon. Man I wish I would have joined the Navy, college money be damned!
I was onboard the USS Lexington AVT-16 for that port visit to NOLA during Mardi Gras Was that 90 or 91?. The Lady Lex is a museum now in Corpus TX. I've visited, it's really cool. I have to say, my time in the Navy was a WW2 carrier then a brand new Tyco cruiser. It was not boring.
@@cascadesouthernmodeltrains7547 Oh I'm sure it is. But as I said, I am a huge fan of WW2. Or at least I think I said that, if not well I'm saying it now. Hehe. Anyway, what was so impressive to me was the age her and the fact that our grandfathers were serving on her in war when they were my age in the late 80s. So much history I could almost hear the F6Fs, SB2Cs and TBFs warming up!
@@gumbo8893 I love WWII Naval history and one of my grandfathers was a Seabee during the war. He got pulled out of bootcamp on Dec 8th and sent to Pearl. He was an apprentice machinist prior to enlisting. He was sent to help rebuild the ships, and was even part of the team that moved Arizona’s guns to a land placement. This is one of my favorite parts of history.
I want a Nevada, Laffey, Nautilus, and, if possible, a USS Martin Luther King Jr. And I’m Canadian, so if there’s already a Nevada, pardon my ignorance.
As a retired Navy Sailor, it brings tears of pride that all these historical ships being brought back to life as the “ New And Improved “ version of the historical Namesake ships. One in particular is the world famous USS ENTERPRISE CVN 65, that I was PROUD to have served aboard 1985- 1989. May she sail proud, and strong as ever, and may her future crew engrain the integrity of all past members that once served aboard her proudly.
Like that your using the dry dock and shipyard better by construction of two ships at a time, jfk coming on great also,,,yes you need other yards building sections and floating them to be joined together in this dry dock,,,or let them build four at a time in dry docks in this yard and employ and train younger workforce before the older ones retire…
CV-6 The original Enterprise Carrier. The most decorated US warship to this day. At one, brief point it was the sole carrier available to Nimitz and Halsey to fight against the Jap's in WWII
Another carrier named JFK? Doris Miller was a good man, but I think that we should have a carrier named after the first man to take off and land aboard a ship. Eugene Ely is what gave birth to Naval Aviation.
Kinda would like to see the USA build carriers in more than one city in case say Virginia was attacked. Spread it out, not all eggs in one basket thing.
These Ford Class carriers are very impressive to see. BUT, I believe the Navy should design & build a much smaller & much faster carrier for drones, vertical attack jets & attack helos only & smaller number of personel..This newly designed ship would be very different in its looks, design, & construction with its emphasis in speed.
Watching videos like these, makes me so proud to be an American. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Let’s see Russia and China try and challenge USS Doris Miller, USS JFK and legendary Enterprise .
So, if you can do this gigantic project - we can bring back how to make refrigerator - TV - washing machines - generator - as well as textiles and shoes too --- right?
What a great video. Here's a shout out to all the hard working REAL Americans who build and maintain the greatest warships in United states history. Without those aircraft carriers this world would not exist. United states navy, a global force for good.
CVN Enterprise 1 Step closer to a Starship Named Enterprise to Research the Unknown getting New Bonds..... one Day when we all are not anymore.... The Name Enterprise will Live on!
Compare what Newport News is doing to those guys in Murmansk . . . the last I saw, the Russians were roasting marshmallows on the deck and the carrier caught fire. Over the din of the blaze, one could still hear somebody yelling, "Save the vodka!"
Great video. We need to start obtaining new fleet of ships. A report done not to long ago stated the Navy is behind on ship building and the Chinese Navy will surpass number of ships we have in 2033. I think if I remember, the US used to have 11 ( maybe more) ship building facilities, now we are down to six ( thanks to the great leadership we have in office currently). We need to get on the ball.
one shipyard is not enough. if you check out chinese PLA navy info, they have more shipyards and building more powerful destroyers Type 055, at a faster pace
Yeah at faster pace means problems on has results on long run, so what u prefer something on great quality on slow pace that will give result, or trust a country that get things at fast pace while knowing their buildings are made of tofu and can collapse at any earthquake? Better trust the USN decision on how they want to build their things
This video could had been made longer with slower frame rates. So much stuff to see. Maybe better so the chinese can't learn to much. Why the need to shade out the corner and front edge section of that keel segment is beyond me. What possibly be so important?
The time has come for an industrial rebirth in the U.S.
Long overdue. Greater interest in maritime matters, expanded shipbuilding (more and/or larger.)
Not with the current government. They want to decrease that and outsource if at all.
The U.S. as we know it is long from a rebirth, more like this country is on Hospice waiting for the end of what once was.

What are those vertical tubes across the stern of the ship?
Cool!
Very cool video 🙏
What a great video. Here's a shout out to all the hard working REAL Americans who build and maintain the greatest warships in United states history. Without those aircraft carriers this world would not exist. United states navy, a global force for good.
CVN Enterprise 1 Step closer to a Starship Named Enterprise to Research the Unknown getting New Bonds..... one Day when we all are not anymore.... The Name Enterprise will Live on!
Compare what Newport News is doing to those guys in Murmansk . . . the last I saw, the Russians were roasting marshmallows on the deck and the carrier caught fire. Over the din of the blaze, one could still hear somebody yelling, "Save the vodka!"
touché my friend 😀
Slow down on the image changes. Cant see anything.!This sucks.
Do you really need a cut every half second? seriously...
Great video. We need to start obtaining new fleet of ships. A report done not to long ago stated the Navy is behind on ship building and the Chinese Navy will surpass number of ships we have in 2033. I think if I remember, the US used to have 11 ( maybe more) ship building facilities, now we are down to six ( thanks to the great leadership we have in office currently). We need to get on the ball.
China surpassed the number of ships the US has several years ago.
Good morning Friends Hii very nice thanks 👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🙋🏼♂️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
It's about time🎉
Start CVNs 82 and 83 and their supporting elements
You'd think they'd have welded up those corrosion pits on the Stennis's rudder post.
Why are we USA under sized compared to Chinese PLA ?
America ship builders need to get overtime !!!
Quality over rushed things
There is a reason Newport News does not finish submarines Surface ships are 5 x less critical
the name of that ship it is the name of a lagendary ship that save my home land in world war 2 🇵🇭😭 race and long leave my true heros
Very impressive. But better get a move on with the refurbs.
Put USS jfk on duty sooner than later
one shipyard is not enough. if you check out chinese PLA navy info, they have more shipyards and building more powerful destroyers Type 055, at a faster pace
Yeah at faster pace means problems on has results on long run, so what u prefer something on great quality on slow pace that will give result, or trust a country that get things at fast pace while knowing their buildings are made of tofu and can collapse at any earthquake? Better trust the USN decision on how they want to build their things
This video could had been made longer with slower frame rates. So much stuff to see. Maybe better so the chinese can't learn to much.
Why the need to shade out the corner and front edge section of that keel segment is beyond me. What possibly be so important?
Now this is how our tax dollars should be spent. Making our country stronger.
