In 1965 My great-uncle became the commander of the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier. We got to be there for the ceremony. As a little kid, it was an amazing sight to see. I don’t remember everything, but some. I remember riding on the huge flight elevator, and guests being told “No photos allowed” in certain areas. The Kitty Hawk is no more. She was recently dismantled. It was kind of sad to hear that, only because it was such a special experience to see her up close and personal. My uncle continued his naval career until he retired as, Admiral Martin Doan Carmody. He passed away about 15 years ago and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He was an amazing man. Just like his big brother, my grandpa. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Definitely!!! I just wish a Strike Witches fanfic would be made where a U.S. carrier with a complement of these amazing fighters arrives at the doorstep of the 501st or 502nd JFW.
I used to have a 'USS America' baseball cap from the early 1970s during the Vietnam War - not the same ship shown in this video. Have been on the USS Hornet, USS Ranger, USS Enterprise, and I think one other that was in Alameda during the 1970s.
@@jskelly1979 What? I was only complementing her on her beautiful long hair, I have a thing for ladies that grow their hair to luxurious lengths and I find them the most beautiful one's of all. Wouldn't you agree to that?
@@danielobrien1571 Do you think she came here to be complimented? She was looking to express her opinion/thought/memory, and some guy has to always comment, without regards, about their looks. Save the compliments for a club or some place you go and try to meet another person and stop trying to make a love connection on a bus, train, plane, TH-cam, etc... people need safe spaces, free of creeps. Try looking beyond what you just see in a picture or name, their comment makes no sense from that. USS Kitty Hawk, World War 2, Subic Bay... all things of the past and no longer exist. She is obviously not that old, so maybe you should question the reality in which exists around you. And I do agree that I prefer long hair, but I will not make a comment on it about some random person on TH-cam.
You love weapons that Will destroy You and those You love ? Weapons built at extra vagant costs.such enormouse expenses could better be used to improve the world population living conditions!!
I enjoy these very much and watch regularly. Regrettably, some of the background music on this one has some high pitched ringing sounds that are most annoying to myself and also my dog. Just something to consider in the future.
There was an international treaty signed after WW2 that limited total naval tonnage that countries could have. Not sure if it's still abided by today. That's possibly why Gerald R Ford class are replacing Nimitz class, or just that the US doesn't need 20 super class carriers. Or the Nimitz are reaching end of effective service life.
American Carriers have enough power to not need a ski jump .From personal experianece I know that any American carrier can launch at least 80,000 . lb aircraft
Russia may not have very many airplane aircraft carriers as in they only have one, but, they have several several several submarines that will kick our ass, cuz we don't have very good C2 air defense
@@henrycarlson7514 I concur. Guess he hasn't seen what the Ukrainians have done to the Russian Federation navy and airforce etc. Yep they do have good submarines, however they never built anything with the crews absolute safety in mind (Kursk etc.) Must be a bot as they neve ever made a reliable carrier and the Ukrainians built them for the USSR.

The Gerald Ford class is on another level of aircraft carriers.
LONG LIVE THE F-18 "SUPER HORNET"🥰

Very interesting videos as a love Naval History. Thank you it is always interesting when you see how far we've come in Naval Warfare

Fyi, the Hornet is in Alameda now.
That Great, like Thank You, Perfect video as Always
Great video very interesting 👍
The Elizabeth can actually carry up to 72 planes and helicopter.
40
You rated the Kuznetzov higher than the Nimitz??? or was this in no particular order?
The order they showed them does indeed point to it being in no particular order.
The fact that they rated the prince of wales at number 10 also suggests this is either in no order or a load of nonsense

Since your converting imperial to metric (length, beam etc)can you please do the same for tons to tonnes?
Did you seriously put the Nimitz class carrier at #15??? It should be second only to the Ford class
The Nimitz is a great class but it's not exactly cutting edge, Ford and Queen Elizabeth for one and two out of that list.
Essentially, this is nothing more than a list of carriers.
this is so out of date. 4 years ago the Russian CV was damaged so badly as to be unrepairable when the floating dock it was in sank.
Nimitz should be ranked #2
Most folks would call me crazy, BUT, DAMN, I miss being at sea on a bird farm.

Chris Kane showed Tom Cruise the highway to the danger zone.
Not accurate!
bullshit
the nimitz class is certainly not down at 15 complete bollocks

Are there countries that makes and sells these to opposing countries?
There was an international treaty signed after WW2 that limited total naval tonnage that countries could have. Not sure if it's still abided by today.
