Exactly, why do you think they didn't build a bunch of them. It was a total fail and the unfortunately the Navy found out the hard way by spending money that could have built tried and true ships instead. Ex Navy and proud of it , except for major fails like this and the Littoral ships as well. None of these worked out well.
The US carriers have also been used during natural disasters across the globe as well. They provided power to cities and aid relief flights, provided air traffic control etc during the tsunamis in Japan and the Indian Ocean.
Overall a good documentary of US naval vessels. Needs only to have the title changed and some historical corrections, such as the comment about the year ironclads came about. Last time I checked I was during the Civil War.
I was lucky enough to see the last slider back in 1994 . It was the last sub to launch stern first and slide down the ramp in grotten CT. Was a pretty cool sight for a 13 year old.
Yeah, but the Merlin engine in the P51 Mustang came as part of a total package. The Zumwalts are so expensive that their development is limited to three ships and they can't fire the Advanced Gun System because the rounds are too expensive.
I served on the USS Wasp(LHD_1) and had the privilege of riding on LCACs too. They can stop in the water, shut their engines down and float fully loaded if need be. I also had multiple opportunity to be dunked in an AAV to make beach landings. (USMC vet)

HMS Argus was the first flat top aircraft carrier what this showed was the second HMS Illustrious aircraft carrier built in 1976 the first was built in 1937.
HMS Argus was built in 1918 as the first flat top carrier for planes. Cant imagine why u stated 1937? as that was the year the keel was laid for the HMS Illustrious. so where did 1976 come from?

I suppose that quality journalism also includes getting the name of the vessel correct. After almost 2 million views, you'd think the poster would make a correction. Especially when the headline is wrong. :(
Yup, that's what they advertised and why I'm here,they start showing a carrier towards the last part of the video but yeah this video is supposed to be about Nimitz class carriers.
It eventually gets to the carrier, but it takes a long time. This video is 45 minutes long, and gets to the carrier at about 35 minutes. It's more of a documentary on the evolution of ships, ship power, design, and capability
This video is miscaptioned! It is more about submarines than Aircraft Carriers! They simply made a honorable mention of Aircraft carriers for less than ten minutes in the whole video. Dang It!
When I was in the Navy, i have to do a 6 on and and 6 off... it was insane. withless people on the ship the watches have to be longer which puts more fatigue on the crew .
Joe mcginn if you know about that I worked the flight deck in my squadron worked all nights on the ship. The yellow shirts turned an A-7 where the exhaust was blowing me down I thought I was going over the back end of the ship. Working the flight deck is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. I was lucky to get off the ship then still on one piece.
While I do love the Iowa Class of Battleships (the USS Missouri being my top cat!), can we also mention the Japanese-built Battleships? The Yamato was one of the BIGGEST of any battleship built, and seriously was no small fry.
Why is the US not USING THE POD MOUNTED PROPELLERS ON CARRIERS ,to maneuver themselves in docking and on tight area...and even in cases of avoiding something. THIS TECHNOLOGY WORKS ON BIGGER SHIP VERY WELL...Like the new cruise ships all use it...also save on the use of TUGBOATS....EVEN SUBMARINES can be EQUIPT with it TO BE MORE AGILE UNDERWATER OR ON SURFACE...
I want to see the Ford class carrier documentary But since it was commissioned there were no documentary about it except about the electro-magnetism catapult....
US CARRIERS HAS LESS SELF PROTECTION, COMPARE TO THE ONLY RUSSIAN CARRIER...THIS CARRIER IS LIKE A BATTLESHIP WITH ALL GUNS AND DIFFERENT MISSILES FOR PROTECTION...IT CAN PROTECT ITSELF DOES NOT NEED ANY SHIP TO GUARD HIM...Maybe it is only one in the Russian Navy and cannot assigned other ship to protect it...
34:00 minutes in and still not a peep about a carrier....or hardly a boat. Don't get me wrong, I love submarine information, but so far this is a historical submarine documentary and a TINY mention of a stealth destroyer documentary.
M8 stop showing HMS Illustrious (R06) which is an Invincible Class aircraft carrier which was commissioned in 1978 when you are talking about the HMS Illustrious (87) which was a Illustrious class aircraft carrier commissioned in 1939
Unfortunately, the Zumwalt ended up being a complete failure.

Titled "Aircraft Carrier" and the video doesn't cover this ship type until minute 33 of 49. What?
Why do carrier groups not fly "radar drones" 100 to 200 miles out and around the carrier group?

Especially because I have a phobia of submarines
The number just a id of the craft.
