The flight deck is not dangerous. It is hazardous. That is why only carefully selected and trained personnel are allowed on the flight deck during flight operations. The officer in the "bubble" adjusts operation of the catapults he/she controls based on what aircraft is being launched. Most of the "bubble" is actually below the flight deck with only the observation windows above the flight deck.

This is a cool video but a few errors. Pilots do not bring modern jets to “full power/maximum thrust”. Rarely are afterburners used on modern fighters off a carrier deck. In fact they haven’t done this since the original Tomcats which with later versions had better engines that prevented the need for this as well as helped with flat spin wash. Pilots are bringing up to “MIL” which again isn’t max thrust (afterburners).
afterburners are used basically every launch when tankers take off, otherwise they would never make it off deck even some growlers in my squadron would go full AB on takeoff.
On the Indy they would sit on the deck, no windshield, no room, an open door. On one cruise an a/c landing gear collapsed, hitting the open hatch and crushing the young enlisted mans legs. No Officer before, just one man, an enlisted man.
I had a chance to sit in the Bubble on the Nimitz while it was under construction. I was a NNSY nuke so didn't understand what I was looking at it is a neat little room that appears to have a lot of functionality!
@@randyrodgers1265 I was out of the Navy by then and as a nuclear guy employed by NNSY, was part of the crew that did the Nimitz initial reactor fueling. Back in '75 or so??

This space will NOT amaze you... unless you've been living under a rock all your life. There are WAAYYYY more interesting spaces on a carrier. Also the view from these bubbles is so obscured by everyone walking around on deck and the fact that your view is at deck level there is a high chance you'll miss something, there has already be alot of incidents because of this.

I can see that from the video, your right on with the downside of the bubble. Process can fix some of that, but you would need to still "keep your head on a swivel". Same as the old days.
An airport covers a wide space and there are troubles by the minutes. I can't imagine how tense it is to squeeze everything to the size of a car parking lot. These people are amazing and under-credit for their work.
After watching this, I decided to watch 'The Final Countdown' with Kirk Douglas. Back then the Nimitz was still a very new ship. I was just a kid when first seeing that movie. Like the Nimitz, I suddenly feel old.
Adorable of you to be forced by DOD to say they wear ear plugs to soften the blow by the sound so the DOD can claim your hearing loss isn't service connected 😂
i lived on on for a while it's a floating building you cant even tell your on the water most of the time. Back in 98 there were already nice amenities on a carrier i can only imagine what its like now with all the new tech.
Thanks for this video. I've wondered about the bubble for a long time. On my Tiger Cruise aboard the USS America I don't remember seeing one. I think the America had a station as seen at 3:39 in the video.
America is not an aircraft carrier, it's an amphibious assault ship. Even if it carries aircraft these aren't naval fighters they're Marines, Marines use helicopters, F35-B's and Harriers which they can take off vertically or use very short runway so the ship doesn't have any catapult system.
@@MrUNCLESAM84 there was an aircraft carrier called USS America that was CV 66 which is now decommissioned. There is also an amphib class called America
Testing the catapults at Newport News Shipyard involves the use of these LARGE things shaped like rounded cereal boxes. A small one and a large one. They have airplane wheels down the sides, 4 per, and put enough water in each to get the required weight, hook one to the catapult being tested, and shoot it into the James River. Rinse, get the weight where you want it, repeat. Shoot the little one to check basic functionality, shoot the big one up to the fully loaded weight of the biggest airplane (and then some) to validate all the launch systems.
Great vid. I was Army 11B in Nam but got great air support from Navy F-4' s in I Corp They made mince meat of 20 Cong we spotted humpin' supplies up a river valley 30 miles NW OF Chu Lai in '69.
Obviously, one type of bubble 1:12 retracts back into the deck with a flat surface on its roof that allows it to be flush with the deck. What about the other type that does not have a deck section on top? Do they always protrude above the flight deck? What causes the hold back bar to be released when the aircraft is launched?
The holdback bar required so much force to be released. Greater than either full force ship catapult or aircraft engines thrust (include AB) OLDER Aircraft - was a single metal piece - single use - broke after that. (such as T-2 and F-4) - Guessing other type- bet it retracts also- cover when retracted - moves aside stay below deck for bubble to rise. Any Idea - what was first US carrier build with the bubble- oldest carrier retrofitted with the bubble before decom?
He won't be able to explain because 1. He doesn't understand how the catapults work 2. He won't understand the change in how the catapults work between Nimitz Class and Ford class
Well you should have clarified that you are referencing the older steam driven catapult and not EMALS. They are different beasts all together. If this was an old video I could understand but it isn't.
There are EM's running the controls, but they're connected to and they're taking orders from the flight deck officers. You might see an officer squeeze in there every once in a while, but it's pretty cramped quarters inside there.

There’s a hatch in the middle of the ICCS on the port side for the bow and the stbd side in the waist. The one on top is for escape and also gets used at other times.

Now the bubble off the side cat, probably IS the smallest COMPARTMENT built on a typical Nimitz class... 😄 but thats a guess. I served on CVN69 for 4 years and there are still (non Reactor related) spaces I've never been too, all in all.
I believe that you’re thinking too much into it. If you’re referencing because it’s a “removable component” you might be partially correct. But, because it’s an “operational” compartment, voids your theory on the rest of your “smaller” areas on a ship.
My eldest brother spent most of his 20 year career on the flight decks of several USN CVNs. He always said, it was one of the most dangerous workplaces in the world.
The frigates and the CGS also have that room and they control the helicopter coming over the deck. Actually on the frigates on the cruiser guided missile ships one of the officers who fly the helicopter is in there they also are in there to move the aircraft in and out of the hangar. The next time you see a frigate or a CG look at right near the starboard side of the hanger and you will see it.

Haha it's funny how some guys want to spread their hate or bad vibes in anything possible. What level of evil, buddy! Anyway, is that safe for the landing gear to put all the stress in that single point? I assume they replace the landing gear of these planes that are catapulted, often.

They should make one with a nice comfy couch. Would make a great lounge.
Super cool video. Really fascinating
Haha it's funny how some guys want to spread their hate or bad vibes in anything possible. What level of evil, buddy! Anyway, is that safe for the landing gear to put all the stress in that single point? I assume they replace the landing gear of these planes that are catapulted, often.
Great info. Even though I’ve seen them on one documentary or another. But I still enjoy them. Thanks 🙏
They got a stealth fighter simulator welded to the deck! Awesome!
Chinese is watching 😁
Why? They already stole the plans.

* Billy Clinton exchanged ( sold ) them for money.
Just Another forgotten historical fact . . .
It's not rocket science it's a steam operated piston. If they need to steal the plans for that then I doubt we have much to worry about.
Damn according to this video they launch carriers!!! Wow!!
I want to hang out in there so cozy
