Very nice quote...said to Trump from Obama during their passing of the torch.
Mike Rinderle best comment on here! Lmao
You’d be surprised at what something that big can do, tight turns normally is not one of them. I been on three carrier sea trials and shake down cruises. Full speed ahead then full reverses and then full speed ahead. Kind of a weird feeling when something that big is shaking in the water. Or high speed and instant full rudder turns while standing on the flight deck where you need to kneel down and grab a pad eye so you don’t fall over. Then when you looks across the deck on one side and all you see is sky then look the other was and all you see is water. Carriers also have an undisclosed top speed, they can go pretty fast, stopping them might not be as good. I also seen rooster tails of water out the back on high speed forward, something you might expect to see with an outboard motorboat but not a 1,200 foot carrier.
I lived aboard CVN-71 for 47 months. It turns on a dime. 😏👌
"If it moves, it drifts." -America
Our Carriers are amazing. As a destroyerman, it was a well-known fact that they could easily out run us if they chose to. They keep the battle group around to soak up missiles, pick up downed pilots, fetch trash bags thrown over the side "accidentally", and so on. But I'd never switch places because they are without doubt the largest strategic targets in any theater!
They had to stop the bowling tournament during this.
Free curve on the ball
It may have improved somebody's game.
Not really.....it would just have one hell of a hook at the end! :-)
Those imperialist menaces
Damn thats crazy powerful, when you see a vessel of that displacement and weight throwing itself around like that you know there some beefy power sources involved.
As I understand it, it is actually easier to get a larger ship to move faster. The power required relative to displacement is lower. Or at least I think I've heard that.
It makes sense that they have a lot of power in a carrier. That carrier is most of the firepower of the task force. If they need to get from A to B it is the one ship they can't be without. Also, faster speeds mean higher payloads for the aircraft as they will get more headwind taking off.
Finally, the maneuvering might be helpful to evade incoming fire, and obviously this is the ship taking all the fire. I suspect this doesn't matter as much as in the past, but maybe they can do something to evade torpedos, and at least try to get off track for missiles, and unmask defensive weapons.
@@RichFreeman do you mean it's easier for a larger ship to have a higher maximum speed or that a larger ship is easier to accelerate to its maximum speed? (sorry, I hope that question makes sense)
Interesting tidbits I remember reading about the electromagnetic catapults on the Ford class - not only does the EM system require less energy than steam system it replaces, but it also allows for much more precise control over the launch (both in the acceleration and total amount of force applied). If I remember right, it will allow a wider weight range of aircraft to be launched (as well as the same type of craft with differing loaded weight), can handle heavier aircraft, is easier & faster to change between aircraft of different weight, and has a higher sortie rate. I also read one analysis that the precise control makes launches in changing/difficult weather conditions easier for the crew. It's also supposed to be a more reliable system (omce they sort out the issues with using a new technology) despite it being a bit finicky during initial trials.
@@JustIn-op6oy the larger displacement probably helps with both acceleration and top speed. But, I haven't checked the physics. It would make sense for them to be linked since top speed is at the point where drag and thrust are equal. Below top speed you have an excess of thrust and so you have acceleration.
@@RichFreeman larger displacement ships are slower to accelerate but once she's going she's fast as hell. Keep in mind that this ship has enough nuclear power on board to power a small city.
@@josephcaouette for the same power-to-displacement ratio? Obviously you can put an engine of any size on a ship of any size and get the results you might expect.
The most sophisticated carrier ever built and Ma Deuce stands guard. Thank you Mr. Browning,
I was noticing that! 🙂 Impressive as drifting a super-carrier is, it's just as impressive to me that they're still using 100+ year old HMG designs to defend against small-boat swarm attacks and similar. John Browning must be pretty proud, as he looks down on his M2s!
That's one of the ships and those are some of the young folks who are protecting us. As Americans, we have a lot to be proud of on this Veterans Day!

Whenever someone says of an aircraft carrier making a turn, it reminds me of that famous turn made by the USS Enterprise to avoid those two torpedoes.
"Wait! Go back! I left my sunglasses on the dock!" - the Captain, probably.
The only aircraft carrier to fall down a few steps while stepping off a plane.
Lol, giving your age away there.
Imagine the waves that beast would kick on a beach wow!!!
If one of my kids were on that bridge navigating the single most powerful warship on the planet, I would never stop bragging about it. People would never be able to shut me up.
"So you drift cars?. Thats cute!."
Wow. The sheer power it must take to move that much weight that fast.
I like how the CO at 4:20 is wearing a white sweatshirt with a picture of the the best naval fighter ever produced on it.
It's amazing how much lateral expansion above the waterline that this ship has, especially compared to WWII cariers. Wonder how much the deck deflects downward near the port side.
Amazing to see how that behemoth can move. I was just standing under CVN 79 two weeks ago. It’s just amazing.
Beautiful seeing this beast in the James River, such a unique view of home from the river as well.
I knew a gent who served in the Navy on a Nimitz class carrier in the early 1990s. He told me of the time where almost all of the ship's crew were ordered to their quarters and no one was allowed on deck or anywhere where the view of the ocean was visible. He told of experiencing high acceleration and extreme banking tests of the ship turning. It's cool to see it for real now.
Very impressive. These ships are the Death Stars of this time.
You may fire when ready!
Wow! What a behemoth! Seeing a boat that MASSIVE move like that is awe inspiring!
It would have been much more *epic* if all the sailors were standing on deck, leaning against the tilt like in the old Smooth Criminal video =)
No. Because there will always be that one the flys overboard lol
The lesson out of this is: Don't drink and drive.
If only my car could handle curves
like this.
Spent two years on a guided missile destroyer, where maneuvers like this are an every day occurrence. Before the destroyer, though, I was on a big repair-ship that really never was underway. We went from Norfolk, Virginia, out to Bermuda and then back to Mayport, Florida. On that trip, we had to test all the functions of the ship which were tested rarely - such as this steering-gear test.
They give you several hours to get all your spaces in order and fasten everything down before they do the test. My buddies and I decided to ride out the test back on the big helicopter deck, which was a fun place to be, when the ship slowly heels over in turn. Helicopter deck was huge, although just a small fraction of the size of an Aircraft Carrier flight deck. Pretty strange to have the "floor" you're standing on start tilting at those angles!
Looks here like they made the entire crew stay belowdecks, or at least standing next to something solid they could hang on to.
As part of a sea trial run I am sure every ship has to do and master this kind of maneuver. But a ship that big is, well, awesome when you see it doing these kind of stunts.
I loved to the sailors practicing with the sextant. Great video.
Who left these kids in charge of an aircraft carrier?
We weren't any older when we did it over 60 years ago !

Seems very amateur.
Nice Burt....I asked myself the same question because decades ago I was that very same 18 years old sailor. Attention to Detail Shipmate! Aye aye Sir!

Well done Captain and crew 🇺🇸.
👏🇬🇧
Nice ship. My dad was a gunner on a heavy light cruiser during ww2. HMNZS Gambia which helped hunt down the German pocket battle ship Graff Spree and they did a high speed run and got up to 45 knots and that was 75 yrs ago!!!
its usually heavy cruiser or light cruiser not heavy light lol
I was on board the Eisenhower during one of these test, it's quite an experience, even with all the planes offloaded and everything tied down there was some damage.
In the early 90's as an Operations Specialist on the USS Lake Champlain I..(and the Aegis system)...hooked a symbol on the Lincoln and it was maintaining 41 knots.
I worked for a company that builds tugs and specifically on the tug in this video (Jack T Moran). A bit unassuming for 6000hp lol.
6000hp?!?! How many engines do tugs have? Are they gas turbine or something?! That’s a huge amount of power...I am sure they need every pony to push those massive ships though. Very cool

My prayers go out to that 1 soul who decided to take a shit at the wrong time.
Always loved those high speed turns, nothing like sitting by our old fly 3 work center cat walk under the finger and lso platform to the flight deck and have em do those sharp turns at that speed. Felt like you could reach out and touch the water as it blew by u the flight deck would carve at times so close to the water it turned so hard. Def miss my navy days. They were always rt. No matter how much u hated things at times with those long hours we use to pull bk in the day or the shit we went thru at times it still was some of the best times you will every remember and wish you never got out.
Very impressive to see a Carrier this large doing high speed turns like that. Now that's what I call Drifting Carrier Style. I served on The Ranger from 89-93. Boats 4th Division Deck. The Ford is a Beast.
Served on the USS Hornet CVS12, as a QM2. At 42,000 ton, she was a baby compared to this. But even so, we could still do 32 knots on a smooth sea.
This is quite incredible seeing that sea monster doing drits.
Great to see the use of high tech navigation equipment. It didn't even need batteries.
Can you effectively use a sextant indoors?
I noticed that too with the sextant. No sunlight on the observer's face; it was for the dog and pony show.

People Who Constantly Point Out Grammar Mistakes Are Pretty Much Jerks, Scientists Find
FIONA MACDONALD
12 DEC 2017
Scientists have found that people who constantly get bothered by grammatical errors online have "less agreeable" personalities than those who just let them slide.
And those friends who are super-sensitive to typos on your Facebook page? Psychological testing reveals they're generally less open, and are also more likely to be judging you for your mistakes than everyone else.

In other words, they're exactly who you thought they were.
That sounds pretty obvious, but this paper, which was published in PLOS One in 2016, was actually the first time researchers were able to show that a person's personality traits can actually determine how they respond to typos and grammatical errors, and it could teach us a lot about how people communicate (or miscommunicate) online.
"This is the first study to show that the personality traits of listeners/readers have an effect on the interpretation of language," said lead researcher Julie Boland from the University of Michigan back in 2016.
"In this experiment, we examined the social judgments that readers made about the writers."
The researchers took 83 participants and asked them all to read email responses to an ad for a housemate, which either contained no errors or had been altered to include typos (e.g. "teh" instead of "the") or grammatical mix-ups, such as too/to or it's/its.
Those 83 people then judged the person who'd written the email based on their perceived intelligence, friendliness, and other attributes, such as how good they'd be as housemates.
They were also asked at the end of the experiment whether or not they'd spotted any grammatical errors or typos in the emails, and, if so, how much it had bothered them.
The researchers then asked the participants to complete a Big Five personality assessment - which rates where they are on a scale of openness, agreeableness, extraversion/introversion, neuroticism, and conscientiousness - as well as answer questions about their age, background, and attitude towards language.
Overall, everybody rated the fictional housemate applicants with typos and grammatical errors in their emails as worse than those with perfect spelling and grammar. But there were definitely certain personality types that judged the typo-riddled applicants more harshly.
For example, extraverts were generally much more likely to overlook both grammar mix ups and typos, whereas introverts were more likely to judge the applicants negatively because of them.
And people who tested as being more conscientious but less open were more sensitive to typos, while those with less agreeable personalities got more upset by grammatical errors.
"Perhaps because less agreeable people are less tolerant of deviations from convention," the researchers wrote.
Interestingly, how neurotic someone was didn't affect how they interpreted mistakes.
The differences picked up in the research were pretty subtle - and it's a small sample size in general, so we need to take the results with a grain of salt. But the results couldn't be explained by people's age or education, which suggests that personality traits were playing a role.
More research is now needed to confirm these links, but for now, take comfort in the fact that typos can happen to everyone, but it takes a particular type of person to constantly point them out to you.
The research was published in PLOS One.

Top Cardiologist: This One Thing Will Properly Flush Out Your Bowels
I was onboard the USS Nimitz when they performed this maneuver. I was working in my space on a stool with steel feet, on a steel deck. They would announce “heel port” or “heel starboard” and I would slide from one side of my space to the other. It was quite a ride.
I have a question that you might be able to answer. If they were anchored side-by-side, how does the size of a Nimitz stack up with the size of a Ford? I mean, you can read the dimensions but that doesn't really paint a picture for me so I was curious if you'd be able to give me a better description.
@@NoOneLikesVegans If a Nimitz-Class is a cruise ship, then the GR Ford is a ULCC oil tanker. Hope that helps the size visualization.
@@kellymc239 It actually does! Thank you.
Proud that I served but this a stark reminder that if I never step foot on another ship again will be fine with me. 🇺🇸

Terrorists? Nah just making sure when the Captain says don't scuff my ride he means it
...because only carriers and tugboats exist.
Unarmored naval vessels are extremely vulnerable to shaped charges. If someone can get close enough, they can do many billions in damage just by lobbing a small package.
Ever heard of the USS Cole? SOP now.

I of course know this is on a different scale but I went to Mount Pleasant South Carolina and visited Patriots Point. They have a ww2 carrier Yorktown their and its self guided. That thing took 3hrs and my girlfriend and I didn't even cover the whole thing to tour. Those carriers are massive.
Ran T I spent the night on it with the Boy Scouts I walked miles on that thing!
I've been there too at least 3 times...
I still don't know how to reach the top deck.
This is some incredible footage
After making my ford see this video I can see pride in her headlights....
Neat video, but one thing missing: It would've been great to show more bridge footage while the ship was performing those high-speed maneuvers.

It’s amazing something that size can move like that.
Sea and anchor detail. When I went past pier 1-2 at NOB Norfolk, the USS Iowa, America and Nimitz were moored there. Many years ago. It’s funny to watch them try to use a sextant.

It's amazing that the largest warships ever built Ford, Nimitz, and JFK classes are faster than just about any destroyer and frigate from around the world including the USN because the carriers are all nuclear powered.
Actually, it's because the hull is longer. Basic physics of ships. Top speed is set by the square root of the waterline.
Equal in need for speed are the ability to create proper air launch capability with minimal course changes and evasive capability to lose subs and other surface threats.
The fastest warship ever produced was the Enterprise. It hydroplaned during sea Trials. Actual Top Speeds are classified but I'll just say that they can out run you on the freeway. Your Governor will kick in as the carrier passes you up.
@@victoreous626 My uncle worked on the design of the nuclear power system for Enterprise, he said the sea trials were wild. He even attended the de-commissioning ceremony. It was designed to last 25 years, but ended up double that in service.
