It must be so much fun to fly with friends on a mission like this. I am joining as soon as I am competent enough not to embarrass myself or let my mates down. I love watching GR interact. It makes a good mission great. RIP to Tanky's dad. I know EXACTLY what he's going thru. But the best way to honor him is to keep chuggin' along and handle life like he would. No better way than that to keep his memory alive.
1:08:15 Unfortunately, this isn't the first time the CVN-71 has hit another ship. We smashed in the front end of the USS Leyte Gulf a month or so after I attached to the TR. We were backing up during propulsion plant drills. The TR was without a rear-facing CIWS for at least several years afterwards.
Condolences to Tankie and Family/Friends. MEMORIES - I cruised about the Persian Gulf from 1988-1999 aboard various Frigates, and then a series of Carriers. In the last few cruises I worked on the Staff of "STRIKE" and we plotted out hundreds of "possible" problems.
I still love the fact i got to grow up on the TS Calverton NY Grumman base that made the F-14 ,Introduction 22 September 1974, what I didnt know was the first batch was sold to Iran in 1973 ,during this test flight at Andrews , they also got to see the F-15 fly. from the 1973 test:"At this point the F-14 had one thing that the F-15 didn’t have. Variable-geometry wings that would make the difference for the grace of the flight demonstration. Don and Dennis pushed both throttles to full zone-five afterburner -- the maximum thrust setting for the TF-30. “The Tomcat’s crew, during the knife-edge pass, decided to sweep the wings from fully swept to fully forward and then they executed a turn at the maximum of the Tomcat’s performance [envelope], producing a large cloud of vapor off the wings due to the shock wave,” Leone wrote.The shah was blown away. That’s how, starting in the mid-1970s, Iran became the only country besides the United States to operate arguably the most powerful interceptor jet ever built"
Sorry for the loss. That F-14 Launch was hilarious! I can hear the ship commander now, just mark that accident as training and we will get the upper brass to decommission that Tomcat… “YOU DONT OWN THAT PLAIN, the Tax payers do”
@30m "Fire and turn cold" With a Semi Active Missile? Do you know anything about this tech? Aim-7s were hopeless shooting at targets below them anyway - the Missiles onboard the Mirage 2000Cs you disparaged had much better ground reflection rejection (as did the British version of Sparrow called the Skyflash)
@Grim Reapers - 20:12 - Well Cap, that is why half of the flight deck crew is not even looking at you at launch. The carrier just ran through a ghost ship! LOL!!! Flight deck crew: "Yes, hurry up, get on the cat!" Cap: "How dare you disrespect me guys! Look at me!" Flight deck crew: "Uhhh guys, does the bridge know we are about to hit that ship in front of us!!?" Cap: "Guess I better leave now." Flight deck crew: "Ohh f*&% it! Quick, get him off this deck before we hit that ship!"
Sorry for your loss, Tanky. Just know you are among friends here. I lost my dad in 2021 and my wife in 2019. Papa Cap, your director is afraid you see your sleep deprived face!!! 😄
This was crazy on the Enterprise en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-crossing_ceremony. Picture the flight deck with a huge number of naked sailors being hosed down after the ceremony because we covered with things like chocolate milk and parmesan cheese. This was before they had women aboard.
If challenged by radio...well, responding in halting and grammatically questionable Klingon worked in Star Trek VI, but it probably wouldn't work here.
My condolences to Tanky for losing her beloved Father. May he rest in peace. 23:26 Iran's army doesn't have any carrier; also, the Iranian air force is a combination of Western and Eastern aircraft, like F-4, F-5, F-14 tomcat (nowadays just 20 of these legends are active) and Mirage F-1 from the Western block, and Mig-29, Su-24, newly-received Su-35, Mig-21, Mig-23 and Mig-25 (less than 5 airplanes) which are at service. Meanwhile, most helicopters in Iran are American like AH-1 Cobra, CH-47 Chinook, Bell-212, Bell-214, UH-1and Bell-206 ranger.
Guys, why do the Iranians have Phoenix missiles running on every F14 but the US Navy doesn't? After the revolution in 1978/79 the bulk of their AIM54Cs were inoperable. They used some as rocket artillery during the Iran-Irag war but had none operable in 1988. Instead they used the AWG9 radar as a form of AWACS. It makes no sense whatsoever to prevent the US Navy side from using them on the Tomcats while Iran can spam them all over. More have been fired by Iran in this campaign than they had functional in 1979.
You seem to think you know everything, and disrespect the memory of others. This does not make you a superior human. It make you and asshole that no one likes. Hope you enjoy dying alone and being eaten by your cats.
Question for CAP,can you shot a harm missile at ship radar? That would be a game changer agenst the jap fleet and Russia fleet ? I don't know any one of you know if it's possible or am I stupid
Fun campaign, sorry for your loss, Tanky.
My condolences to Tanky and family. Thoughts and prayers to them. 🙏🛐
Condolences Tanky on the loss of your DAD. God bless.
Rest in peace. I lost my father when I was only 1 year, he did only make 24 yr old. So I ll know how its to lost someone near. Great video as always.

Oh Sad news Tanky, chin up me old fruit and bless your family and kin.
So fucking weird watching this as an Iranian.

Im sorry to hear of your loss Tanky, I know what your going through .. 😢😢😢 fly and be free ✈🛩🚁
Sorry for the loss.

An aircraft carrier ploughing through a merchant ship with no apparent damage to either and they still have the audacity to call this a simulation!
Thoughts and Prayers to you Tanky. 🙏
Condolences, Tanky.. Chopsticks deserves a medal for taking out the sites/Mig-29 then using his face to get rid of the Tor
Sorry for Tankie's loss. Sock's performance made me dream of a motor glider again.

Great campaign, gents. Really enjoying these missions. Sorry for your loss, Tanky.
Sorry for picking some nits, but pretty sure Dubai didn’t have the palm in 1988 😂
Well spotted!
Seeing the flight deck reminds me of FOD walkdowns and steel beach picnics.

How dare you shootdown Tomcats! ;)

Condolences to you Tanky. Very sorry for your loss.
Really thought that container ship was going to take out the Enterprise😲 My sympathies to Tankie for his loss...
The Enterprise!!! woohoo! My Navy experience :) I'll be looking closely at the model ;)
My condolences to Tanky for losing her beloved Father. May he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and minds are with you Tanky
"Yellow shirts" responsible for the ALL movement of aircraft on the flight deck and in the hangar bay.
#GR The correct to way display Rudy pride is too just say "YCBAR" (pronounced YUCKBAR) which means to all the peons "You Can't Beat A Redcock".
thx
God Bless Tanky to you and your family.🙏
Sorry the loss :(
May his memory be eternal...
The phantom boat though.
Tankie much ❤Aroha ⛳
Gd Hop!!! nice vid CAP! ;)

Guys..love your channel. Can you do a "Fail Safe" scenario based on the movie? Thanks in advance.
I think this qualifies as a pyrrhic victory
LOl already a ship collision!
Love the hornet & viper 🎉

Couple od daisy Cutters would have fixed them....
God bless his soul
Painful to watch.

Yes possible BUT doesn't actually damage the ship in the game.
