This is incredible. This never gets old for me. According to another video, the USN is transitioning to smaller carriers, which cost a lot less and are also smaller targets. This might make the USN more agile and adaptable.
When I was stationed onboard the USS Nimitz as a Fire FIghter (DC), I remember witnessing the anchor being dropped when we arrived at our home port in Bremerton Wa. Those chain links look HUGE in person. It's amazing to see just how massive some components of the ship need to be in order for it to function. The first time I actually saw the ship up close, I couldn't believe how massive it was. I was actually able to also walk underneath the ship while it was in for repairs in dry dock. But even a ship that size would still list while out in deep ocean. A slow, steady rock from side to side mostly. But during bad weather, you could almost walk on it's walls depending on how close to the flight deck you happened to be.
lol yes much larger when you sit on one of those links :) worked on the Nimitz also ,but on the east coast,in a fighter squadron as an a.d. also saw the america and Indy in dry dock :)and them use two cranes to maneuver the anchors around the chain was laid out in a line on the dock in the ship yard:) have been in rough seas in aimd shop what I recall most is working to chain EVERYTHING down :( thought this video was lame because on it ,it seems like a QUIET clam place with no one WORKING , in truth with a "hot" deck in full ops is more like slightly organized CHAOS :) Be well Peace Rick
I was ready to join the Navy. All I had to do was graduate high school. Three months before I graduated high school I got really sick with Crohn’s disease. Ruined my much wanted military career. Now I drive 18 wheelers. 17 years later.
I like the ending stating a "high cost" for the Harrier II and saying just after that it'll be replaced by a F35B which doesn't have an absurd flight hour cost at all :D

Anchor chains are not painted to prevent rust as stated early in this video. The paint you see is marking the length of chain, the distance between the paint markers is called a shackle and is 90' long. The first marker is 1 shackle from the anchor and marked with a red painted link and 1 white painted link either side, 2 shakles out is 2 white links either side of the red and so forth. When coming up to anchor the Master orders how many shackles he wants the crew to pay out for a given depth of water. Shackles can usually be counted when free falling anchor and stopping at the desired length out. Heaving in is monitored by counting shackles coming up through the hawser pipe.
@@stangood Well as a Ships Master for 30 years I never saw a ships anchor chain that was painted apart from the red and white markers. Anchor chain is subjected to frequent and violent burnishing from the gypsy when the anchor chain is running over it, whether paying out or heaving. When dropping an anchor it is literally just that ie: free falling. A chain flys over a gpsy at such a speed you often see sparks coming of it. Paint will not survive that punishment, even the marker paint needs to be repainted regularly because it just wears off. Even when the chain is laying on the sea bed it is continually being abraided. Its hard enough to keep paint on the rest of the ship that doesn't have physical contact with anything.
Believe it or not the anchor doesn’t actually “anchor” the ship. The chain is the actual thing keeping the ship in place as it weighs a lot more than the anchor. The anchor keeps the chain in one place
Really? then find another video because this one does NOT show that at all :( even on the deck which does have a sort of limited amount of people & not even including the actual pilots, figure 3 people for every "hot" aircraft that is min. 75 people just for the aircraft BEHIND the island and minimum one or two more replacements either just below either resting or working & that is JUST in the squadrons NOT the red shirts, purple shirts "typical daytime on a "cold" deck not launching or recovering is around 300 people & that would be WITHOUT aircraft with live munitions' that would add more people AND more danger, worked on 4 flight decks and we are trained to NEVER go anywhere alone BECAUSE THAT WAY SOMEONE IS WATCHING YOUR BACK! unlike movies or fables is more danger from exhaust and tools and chains than being sucked up.

I love too how its the CHAIN that does most of the work in keeping a ship in place, not the anchor itself. Physics gets weird when water is thrown into the mix.
So the anchor digs into the sea bed and the vessel must lay enough chain so it lays horizontal on the seas bed. This allows the weight of the vessel to have a horizontal rather than vertical pull on the anchor. For a vessel of this size it’s the weight of the chain on laying in the sea bed that provides most of the resistance to wind or current.
Yes, anchors on carriers have a low holding power ratio and are ultimately large clump weights. The chain plays a large role in the mooring systems overall holding capacity.
Well not entirely true. If it weren’t for the anchor going down and hitting the sea floor to sort of bury itself the carrier would simply drift with the current & be at its misery bc let’s say for example that you remove the giant anchor & use only the chain itself. Although the links of the chain are massive solid steel that weight alone wouldn’t be enough to hold even a Nimitz class carrier let alone a monster carrier like The USS Ronald Regan. I know for a fact that if you were to use the chain alone on the Regan although massive like I said without the anchor dragging those massive links to the bottom the chain would simply float freely again leaving you the misery of the insanely strong currents especially in the Atlantic.
This is so cool. I’ve always liked fighter planes abs military stuff but I never knew they did all this stuff down inside the ships. Very interesting 😲
@USA I've worked on that aircraft and other bombers have you? Doubt it and there is no way in hell 1 B-2 can carry the ordinance that 75 warplanes on a carrier can. If your referring to nukes all of those planes can be set up in minutes to carry the same damn bomb a B-2 can. Not as many per plane but prob 30x more then the carrier itself can have cruise middle pods that can definitely carry more. You're an idiot.
@USA Really don't care if you believe me or not. Been doing it for the last 16yrs and guarantee I know more about them than you do. I worked on the B-52 the first 5yrs of my civilian career and even it can carry more than the B-2.
They got 5 dudes on a redline...wth? The Navy IS the fattest branch...they couldnt get someone with a little more ass to hold that hose? Lol. Based on it's diameter and spray, I assume it's roughly the same pressure as a red line on a fire truck; there's a bit of force when you open it up, but I'm 5'9" and 185 lbs (I was 17, in the VFD of my hometown), and didnt have a problem controlling it by myself when we responded to grass fires and such.

@@PietriGuitars My first day we got a tour of the Connie. Several of the stops are classified, most were not. This video really doesn’t show the impressive size of the chain!!!
A while ago it was computed that any of the catapults could throw a Volkswagen at least a quarter mile. Which is the only way a VW is going to win a drag race on a quarter mile track.
I'd like a similar scaled catapult installed on my minivan roof. Launch a drone, end up with the convertible minivan nobody ever bothered trying to make.
Yet again. Whilst the anchor information is great, it degenerated into an aviation story already told thousands of times. I would like to see all the spaces/crew/missions onboard.
Actually it did not show but a small clip of the chain and not even them really doing much ? with the anchor or chain even how it is lifted or lowered? and the other clips are SO quietand clean almost looks like it was closed :) full ops, just doing warm ups is like organized and dangerous chaos, hell even steak day for dinner was more chaos than all the clips in the combined:) or beer day :) even saying you had cold can of coke after a few mo's at sea is more active than this whole film :) Be well Rick
Ive done that job many times. Once as we weighed anchor in the sound at Stockholm Sweden the wind chill factor was -27c so as the fire hose spray blew back on us it immediately froze so we became ice men. Join the Navy young men, you'll never regret it!
If i remember correctly, they actually snap/break when the cat is fired. The aircraft bump into place, then the strut is locked in, then the shuttle is scooted forward to take out the slack. Then the aircraft slowly throttles up. Its not till the violent release of pressure into the cat that enough force hits the strut to snap it.
Breaks when enough catapult force is applied. It takes a little time for catapult to build pressure so to allow for that, the hold back bar holds the plane until sufficient force develops to launch the plane. It is precisely machined to break at a certain location and at certain force.
@@ShadowRhapsody81 that's what I've heard also, they have struts that are designed to snap at launch that have different strengths depending on the weight of the aircraft !

Love the Sea Harriers one of my all-time favourite planes with the Submarine Spitfires and thee Avro Vulcan bomber. Awesome planes, and all 3 played their part in different wars
so how is the USS Ronald Regan doing after Operation Tomadachi? how about the sailors and marines that were onboard the USS Ronald Regan and participated in Operation Tomadachi?
CVN 76 is doing pretty well, she was deployed earlier this year but may have returned home to Yokosuka by now, I am not sure. Operation Tomadachi was in 2011, so the crew that was serving on Regan at that time have all long since transferred to other assignments in the US Navy, retired, or otherwise left military service. I am sure they are all doing well and were honored to assist Japan in a time of need.
@@SteelDoesMyWill so tell me, do you know any of the crew that served during that time? How do you know they are all well? I served with them and can tell you that they arent all doing well.
Great video I was wondering what type of boots that look very high with the guys wearing them in the anchor room. Or what is making the boots look taller. Thank you
You'd think they'd invent an automated chain rinsing spray device by now that sprays the chain as it's being pulled back in instead of manually standing there with a hose and rinsing it
@KawasakiRider - I'm just saying that if we can put a man on the moon, then we can invent a spinny-brushy and rinse thingy like what's used in a drive-through car wash. I'm American by the way, and here in America, our government often uses the most inefficient and outdated methods possible for any given task. Innovation is dead among our bureaucrats, they are stuck in the past. If you go to the DMV here their computers are like 30 years old. I understand that it's probably better to manually inspect the chain, but I know how inefficient our government is.
@Tesla Einstein And it would only require 2-3 people to do it. It’s almost pathetic to see how many people navy-ships around the world uses to preform a relatively easy task, especially compared to how efficient they do it on a merchant ship

I would assume the paint also does somewhat help against rust, as it puts a layer the (is it steel they use?) and the water. But yes, what you said
Stop saying BS! Yes for the white paint these are length marks but the chain IS painted in black to prevent the rust.
The rest of the commentary is also "not so accurate".

Eleven aircraft carriers, and they said that the USA army is weak? Please you all around the world better have some respect for them, the #1 in the world.
11 built and over 10 more planned/under construction.
Good video! I miss working on these aircraft... Go Navy!
Working on the flight deck, launching my squadrons aircraft at 18 year old is an experience I'll never forget for sure.
Yes agree,or the taste of jp5 never leaves you either :) spent my 18th birthday and 19th Bday at sea in a fighter squadron 18th on the ranger and 19th on the america also served the indy and nimtz. my Brother was on the Kennedy.
I slepton the top rack right under the 3 wire on the indy and america :)
seems 1/2 the 18 yrs now need a therapist and a xanax to go to school or the store and have ptsd if they were bullied lol let them do that for a weeks would mellow then right out Be well Peace Rick
I do miss that! I was on the USS Constellation CV-64 the last conventionally powered carrier. The Connie was an amazing ship!
@@PietriGuitars My first day we got a tour of the Connie. Several of the stops are classified, most were not. This video really doesn’t show the impressive size of the chain!!!
What about CV-66 America and CV-67 Kennedy, weren’t they the last?
@@oldsailor8593 last class.
@@StrokerStevens Connie was not last conventional and that was your statement
Thank you for your service! What was it like? Like, how big was the ship and the anchor
This is so cool. I miss it.
Yep, served on the Kitty Hawk. Brings back memories.
é mermo né... kkkkkk
@@jerrydillard2430 Were you serving when it visited my little corner in the world, Mar del Plata / Argentina!?
@@StaffyDoo Don’t think so Martin. I served 67 or 68 ( bad memory) on a little trip to Vietnam. Crazy times! But I did get to see a lot of this world.
It’s amusing to see that some elements of naval life (holystoning the deck, sending messenger lines over, and the like) never change.
Darryl, Where was the holystoning?
@@samuelschick8813 In the beginning, scrubbing the deck
Glad to see a Diversity Team monitoring the job.
Going to get one of those catapults installed on my station wagon.
A while ago it was computed that any of the catapults could throw a Volkswagen at least a quarter mile.
Which is the only way a VW is going to win a drag race on a quarter mile track.
I like the car launching idea.
I'd like a similar scaled catapult installed on my minivan roof.
Launch a drone, end up with the convertible minivan nobody ever bothered trying to make.
Yet again. Whilst the anchor information is great, it degenerated into an aviation story already told thousands of times. I would like to see all the spaces/crew/missions onboard.
Actually it did not show but a small clip of the chain and not even them really doing much ? with the anchor or chain even how it is lifted or lowered? and the other clips are SO quietand clean almost looks like it was closed :) full ops, just doing warm ups is like organized and dangerous chaos, hell even steak day for dinner was more chaos than all the clips in the combined:) or beer day :) even saying you had cold can of coke after a few mo's at sea is more active than this whole film :) Be well Rick
What keeps this giant vessel,that weighs in thousand of tons,afloat,is incredible.
to propel such a massive stucture at a speed exceeding 30mph is also mind boggling.
Millions of tons of water below it.
Buoyancy. And in terms of speed... I believe this class of carrier is nuclear powered?
« Eureka ! »
The Ford class carriers are designed to operate completely upside down. They launch aircraft the same way subs launch boomers. Quite a sight to see.
Respect!

THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE with prayers for guidance and SAFE return.

Superb Video.
Ive done that job many times. Once as we weighed anchor in the sound at Stockholm Sweden the wind chill factor was -27c so as the fire hose spray blew back on us it immediately froze so we became ice men. Join the Navy young men, you'll never regret it!
Navy, washing semi trucks, deicing whatever. You spray high pressure water at ice and yes, you get wet. Shut up seaman
I would like a detailed look at the holdback strut... how it holds the aircraft at full power, and releases when the CAT fires.
If i remember correctly, they actually snap/break when the cat is fired.
The aircraft bump into place, then the strut is locked in, then the shuttle is scooted forward to take out the slack. Then the aircraft slowly throttles up.
Its not till the violent release of pressure into the cat that enough force hits the strut to snap it.
Breaks when enough catapult force is applied. It takes a little time for catapult to build pressure so to allow for that, the hold back bar holds the plane until sufficient force develops to launch the plane. It is precisely machined to break at a certain location and at certain force.
@@borysnijinski331 part of my job was to remove the broken piece in the captured carrier and I just threw it overboard
@@ShadowRhapsody81 that's what I've heard also, they have struts that are designed to snap at launch that have different strengths depending on the weight of the aircraft !

At a target cost of $25,000/hr for the F-35, the Harrier looks positively economical.
The F-35 is basically a gimmick for somebody to make money, no sense at all

How are the lubricants, and used water disposed off in the end(after cleaning the landing deck)?? Container-Recipient or straight out into the ocean?
They document the suspected fluid and pump it into the ocean. Once documented the effects on ocean life are minuscule

Морская держава. Правда в наше время значение АУГ теряет актуальность. 2 фактора: 1. Спутники, которые всегда знают, где находится АУГ (не наши, так китайские) 2. Крылатые ракеты морского и авиационного базирования, которые сейчас доступны любым странам, и которые могут устроить этому монстру как минимум большие проблемы и небоеспособное состояние, а как максимум и потерю корабля, так как любой авианосец - это посудина наполненная топливом, боеприпасами и самолетами. А ПВО у западных стран традиционно почему то слабое.
Cool post videos man👍
Thanks TH-cam, now I know what to do when working on an aircraft carrier XD
I just love this country godbless our service men and women 🤘🤘🤘
Bless for what? To wreak havoc in the World? To visit places you weren't invited to? Do you want me to come and live in Your hallway?
Bless all those who serve on it, so that they never had a chance to fight! A huge target that you can't miss. And the further you go, the more useless all these giant military vehicles are...
Aircraft carriers are so OP. Maybe they'll nerf them in the next patch to help balance warfare.
actually nerfed already. Russian submarine drones with nuclear power reactor and nuclear warhead can eliminate Aircraft carrier one at a time.
"Dad, do you still believe in the Aircraft Carrier Battle Group warfighting concepts and doctrine? Yes son, I do."
I don't.
21 century war has changed and still changing at very high rates, couple of hypersonic missiles and the carrier will become coral reef with all the other support ships, those big muscle are not necessary in asymmetrical conflicts and cyberwars , also if Usa goal is to destroy China, better they hurry up because in 5-6 years will be impossible and the outcome not foregone
Love the Sea Harriers one of my all-time favourite planes with the Submarine Spitfires and thee Avro Vulcan bomber. Awesome planes, and all 3 played their part in different wars
Supermarine Spitfires!!

2:12 Now that's a pelican hook!!!
so how is the USS Ronald Regan doing after Operation Tomadachi?
how about the sailors and marines that were onboard the USS Ronald Regan and participated in Operation Tomadachi?
Not good
CVN 76 is doing pretty well, she was deployed earlier this year but may have returned home to Yokosuka by now, I am not sure. Operation Tomadachi was in 2011, so the crew that was serving on Regan at that time have all long since transferred to other assignments in the US Navy, retired, or otherwise left military service. I am sure they are all doing well and were honored to assist Japan in a time of need.
@@SteelDoesMyWill so tell me, do you know any of the crew that served during that time? How do you know they are all well? I served with them and can tell you that they arent all doing well.
GREAT VIDEO, HEALTHY GREETINGS FROM KALIMANTAN INDONESIA
Great video I was wondering what type of boots that look very high with the guys wearing them in the anchor room. Or what is making the boots look taller. Thank you
You'd think they'd invent an automated chain rinsing spray device by now that sprays the chain as it's being pulled back in instead of manually standing there with a hose and rinsing it
@KawasakiRider - I'm just saying that if we can put a man on the moon, then we can invent a spinny-brushy and rinse thingy like what's used in a drive-through car wash. I'm American by the way, and here in America, our government often uses the most inefficient and outdated methods possible for any given task. Innovation is dead among our bureaucrats, they are stuck in the past. If you go to the DMV here their computers are like 30 years old. I understand that it's probably better to manually inspect the chain, but I know how inefficient our government is.
@Tesla Einstein i see, thanks for the knowledge my good brother
@Tesla Einstein And it would only require 2-3 people to do it.
It’s almost pathetic to see how many people navy-ships around the world uses to preform a relatively easy task, especially compared to how efficient they do it on a merchant ship
@@12345anton6789 the military has a vested interest in wasting as many tax dollars it can get it's grasping paws on, it doesn't need to make a profit to survive,Congress just votes a few more billions to burn up, money that should go on better healthcare and infrastructure

“The US has more than 10 carriers on service”
Actual count: 11
You are wrong 11 nuclear powered carriers but it also as 8 non nuclear baby carriers or as the US calls LHDs which can carry F35s l may be wrong there maybe more
@@redrb26dett I didn’t know that, thanks for the info.
@@redrb26dett the us doesn t classify the as aircraft carriers.... even though they are bigger than most.
Well, 11 is more than 10 anyway. lol
They also keep a few in reserve that are essentially mothballed, yet could be pressed into service in a short period of time if needed.
