- This visit, the first by a U.S. aircraft carrier to Norway in over six decades, is aimed at strengthening the U.S.-Norway partnership. Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram, during his tour of the ship, emphasized the importance of the visit as a demonstration of the security guarantees through NATO, particularly Norway's close ties with the United States.

Restrictions while the vessel was in Oslo
"Inner Oslofjord is now a restricted zone. Operation of aircraft - including drones - within 0.5 nautical miles (926 meters) of military vessels is forbidden without prior permission. The restricted area also applies at an altitude of up to 3,000 feet (914.4 meters).
Aircraft can operate normally outside the restricted area of 0.5 nautical miles and an altitude of 3,000 feet.
First global assignment
The USS Gerald R. Ford is on its first global mission. The ship accommodates a crew of 4,500 and 90 aircraft and helicopters. The ship sailed from Norfolk in the USA on 2 May. It passed through the English Channel and on into the North Sea. USS Gerald R. Ford is named after the 38th President of the United States. It is the first aircraft carrier of a total of ten in the Gerald R. Ford class. The Gerald R. Ford class will take over from the Nimitz class and is the first new class in the US Navy in more than 40 years"

Thanks from Norway. We are lucky to have such a strong ally. Someone to protect our democracy and freedom. Hope we can give back and defend you as well (hope this day won't come in a very long time) should it be necessary. Thanks for protecting democracy, we all need to stick together and prevent the world to go in to darkness. Im happy today there is so many free countries. I don't take it for granted. Thanks 🙏🙌
Respect to our USA friends, God bless America. From Portugal an american friend.
Always friends and NATO partners.
Welcome to our NAVY friends 😀.
Wish you a happy stay in Oslo.
Holy Crap! It makes me proud to be an American.
Welcome to all of you on the ship! Good to see you! And we love guys (Americans)! :D :) Og takk for at du lastet opp videoen Odd Bakken!
Llegaron los chiquillos a colocarse minifaldas.

You are most welcome to Norway!!
THIS THING IS ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. BEAUTIFUL! WELCOME TO NORWAY!

As an American, I want to thank our friends from Norway for welcoming our ship and I hope our friendship endures forever.
Don't deceive yourself and don't lie to people! There is no friendship and there never will be! You have attacked Norway, in fact, America can only destroy countries (for example, Iraq). Russia is not what it used to be. We will beat all the fascists, as in 1941-1945! Anyone who is not a fool understands that it was Russia (the USSR) that won the Great Patriotic War, and stupid people do not even know history and mistakenly think that the United States and other countries allegedly played an important role in the victory over fascism... Sooner or later, everyone will find out the truth that there are real heroes in Russia! And the NATO fascists will get in their teeth!

Such a massive vessel and it leaves less wake in the water than some of the small boats next to it. True marvel of engineering, and as stealthy as 4.5 acres of floating land can be.
It is travelling much more slowly than the small craft, and at a much smaller fraction of its' displacement speed.

One ship with more firepower than most countries! Amazing. Respect to the USA.
It's also the biggest, heaviest (at 100,000+ tons) and most advanced aircraft carrier ever built. Newly commissioned, and this is the destination of one of its first voyages.
You really can't make a more profound statement than that.
True, but it's a lot harder to sink a country.
I wouldn't say most but alot yes
What'd you say is irrelevant, its still true, and most is definitely
the accurate statement. Consider Norway has about 100 combat aircraft and ranks about 75th in nations by that metric. A nimitz/ Gerald ford can carry, arm, support, and deploy 75-90 aircraft that can accomplish 240+ sorties a day. the readiness rates are also going to be far higher on a carrier, meaning more of those 90 on a carrier are operational /flight ready with less downtime.
Yes inded it have more firepower then the whole Norwegian air and land forces haha! And i find the Norwegian military force as joke it is defentless almost because of a idiotic goverment!
As a charter member of NATO in 1949 and previously occupied by the Nazis in WW2 thanks to the traitor Vidkun Quisling, I salute Norway on their welcoming of the CVN 78 Gerald Ford. Let freedom ring in Norway and may they forevermore be free!

15,000 Norwegians willingly fought for the Nazis. Authoritarianism runs in their blood.
Oh and definitely don’t ask them about their part in Lebensborn.
And because that’s was so dark, i’ll leave you with a fun fact. You wouldn’t have ABBA (yes the musical group) without the Lebensborn program. As the lead singer was a product of it.
Also, makes sense why Norway is so homogeneous nowadays. It wasn’t always like that, lol.

Sono arrivati quelli che vivono di guerra, uccidendo le persone.
@@milesduggan All of what you said is nonsense. Norway has had a very liberal and democratic political system for far longer than almost any other country in Europe. The pro-fascist party was tiny and irrelevant during the inter-war years. The ABBA member was not a product of Lebensborn, but just the quite ordinary child of a German soldier and a local woman. Norway is also not very homogenous, about 1/5 of the population are immigrants. You can google any of this, and I would challenge anybody who comes across your post to do so.
As native Russian I have nothing against americans but I dont like idea of havibg Norway as colony of USA - nothibg personal but we dont want any bases near our country

@@kjetilhvalstrand1009 it's not. American military personnel can purchase alcohol on base at 18. 21 is for civilians only. Not to mention that younger than 21 can still pay someone to purchase alcohol for them. I posted a heartfelt thanks to your people. YOU hoped to disparage mine. Keep trying.
@@Debaucherousgeek Not true! The drinking age is 21 everywhere in the US, even on base.
@@Debaucherousgeek Cool story about 1988. If the base (only allowed on base, not in civvy USA) is within 50 miles of Canada or Mexico (aka San Diego, i.e. the pacific fleet) it's not allowed.

Norway have a border with Russia. These days it is more like us Norwegians thanking the US for bringing USS Gerald Ford and parking it right in the middle of our capital. There are no practical reasons for doing that, most large allied ships go to Northern Norway. This visit by the USS Gerald Ford to Oslo is a big FU to Russia. It shows the strength of NATO while our neighbor Russia is going to war against Ukraine. When the US parks its newest and best floating war machine in downtown Oslo to visit their Norwegian friends, it is a hugely important message for the US and Norway to send.

It was claimed that "...nothing compare to it it's massive...". Fact: There are tons of ships which is bigger / more massive.... So here we talking are about the size of the ship.

I don't know how the new sailors feel about the Navy today, but a scene like this in the 60s "and there were many" where you were coming into port or leaving , and all the people on shore waving was really some kind of feeling. I feel it right now looking at this large magnificent machine, I actually can still feel that 58 years later.
Norway is such a beautiful country.
WOW, What an incredible piece of engineering !! It's MASSIVE
Most of it is below the water line :)
Let me say that there is not much to be impressed by concerning the "engineering". The hull of the ship looks like it is designed in the 1960's. But I guess that there isn't much else to expect since the US is not a shipping nor a shipbuilding nation.
@@Dan-fo9dk, right. So where is yours, ace? How many nuclear powered carriers do you have?? It may look like something from the 60's, but it isn't. Nuclear powered. The overall design isn't something requiring massive change because it works well. Your carrier builders know that, right?
@@carolnelson9269 .....well....working with construction of ships for a life time makes one to have some ideas about such. Your statements are just a clueless mess. It is a simple fact that USA is not a shipping or a ship building nation.....and that shows..... The claimed "engineering" clearly show where USA are to be found on that scale... The knowledge needed to make a modern, effective and sea capable design of the hull of the ship isn't there. How many air planes it carries and that it is nuclear powered ....are irrelevant to this fact ....and does not help the ship a tad to perform better at sea.....
@@Dan-fo9dk What is the value of a (war)ship that is nuclear powered? Start with that. Carriers are not tankers, nor are they cargo ships or cruise ships. They are a warship designed to transport aircraft (and the support the aircraft require), be they offensive, or defensive in nature. NAVY carriers are large. Not as large as most oil tankers, but large. How many tankers or cargo ships can reach 30+knots? The A4W reactors (two) that power our current carriers can generate 140,000 shaft horsepower each, to drive a ship displacing in excess of 100,000 long tons to 30+ knots.

God that's so fucking sick, I wish one day I could witness a ship like that. An enormous vessel filled with killer aircraft is a wet dream. The people working on it are so lucky.
We're lucky too to have engineering masterpieces like these on our side
my brother is on there
If you can get to San Diego there are usually 1 or 2 in port depending on their deployments. My son is on one of their escort ships.
@@stevenalvarado-doc7334 San francisco is across the world for me, a plane ticket will be expensive. But I'll be visiting the US one day anyways and visiting these ships is on my bucket list
@@degenetron7590 there are some in Portsmouth, Virginia as well. East Coast south of New York City.
Wholesome thread and I agree it's a great piece of engineering. I hope everyone has a nice stay. Friendly visits from friendly countries are always welcome.
If you return, take a trip up the fjords and the mountains that we are so proud of to call as our home!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Ótimo vídeo.
It's like a star destroyer coming to visit
Great video! I come from a family of usn sailors going back to the uss constitution, and thanks for your filming, the tug, the choppers, the locals cruising about ,always the case when large ships arrive in Port going back thousands of years, thank you for sharing
Freedom at its finest. I imagine Norwegians are saying holy shit that's big
Great camera work, Odd Bakken. And to think, I got to pull in to Naples, Naples, Naples. Would have loved a visit to Norway!
Big respect for this big ass GRF .💪🏾 wow
Forget the Political crap for now. Just imagine the awe the People of Oslo are seeing first hand and up close. They have never seen behemoths like this in person ever. Puts quite a perspective of size and scale against the Beautiful Surroundings.
I live on the island the ship is anchored by. Tiny roads and it feels like the whole of oslo drives in to see. There is chaos here every day now because people want to see it hahah. And in the city i hear more english than norwegian now because of all of the sailors😂 Talked to some of them, they’re chill af
It's basically the empire state building on the water..for a sense of scale
Yes and She has Many Sisters, 12 With more under Construction. Tell Putin to Kiss your Butt, we Got your Back!🇺🇸✌🏽🤙🏽👍🏽😎
Hey if any of you are interested, there's a 10 1 hour series titled "Carrier" on PBS (Public Broadcast System). Back in 2004 or 2005 a PBS film crew was given unrestricted access to all crew areas on the USS Nimitz on a deployment to the Middle East. Basically an aircraft carrier is a floating city of some 5,400 residents. The average age is, I believe, 19. That's crazy.
Nuh nuh nineteen?
@@biddyboy1570 Yea. One of the sailors in the series Carrier referred to the Nimitz as a "floating high school'.
RIP USS Nimitz
Yeah, a lot of the sailors are young kids, but as you move up the command ladder that changes. Commissioned officers, Senior Chiefs, and of course Master Chiefs who've been around forever with tons of experience.
