I served onboard the USS Winston S. Churchill from 2013 to 2017. I was onboard standing somewhere up front in this video. Seeing this from the ships point of view was amazing. Had a great time in England. Thank you so much for everyone's hospitality.
just a heads up. england was amazing from portsmouth to london...we were treated great and everyone was friendly and helpful. i just flew off the carrier on new orders and had the pleasure of visiting your awesome country...the best port out of the 3 we visited thus far.
Brother I served for 12 years and in that time I had the pleasure and honor to serve with many of the different branches of US services and personnel in which every time was memorable, always have and forever will be thought off and treated with the upmost respect 🙏
He was a main driver to U.S. influence during the Second World War, supported integration of U.S. ships into the Grand Fleet (Scapa Flow ) during the First World War as the First Sea Lord. He eventually was declared a naturalized U.S. citizen after WW2. On top of that, his mother was American- born, raised, and lived in Brooklyn until she married Randolph Churchill.
@@peterson7082 Franklin D Roosevelt had french ancestry(delano family) he gave paris back to the france, he saved their ass from gestapo and from soviet but still they don't have a FS Roosevelt. So it's about having a short history and a huge navy.
In itself is a shame, I'm not sure they did research on Churchill away from the war. His human rights record was not what any of us would want to repeat. He tried to persuade President Truman to do a preemptive nuclear attack on Moscow... Luckily they ignored him... And the death toll in Africa was his doing. He was an imperialist and actively sought to create a class system within the country. He wasn't all good, he wasn't all bad.. But he far from the hero that people make him out to be. But I'm not surprised the ship is named after him as he was Anshan British mixed parents anyway
Me too. I love that. Churchill was awesome. Also, I love that our Navies work together. Brits are the p4p best mariners, imo and I love that we keep good company.
As one of the Americans that was on the Roosevelt for that port call, I must thank the British people for their hospitality in allowing us to visit your country. It was my first time out of America, and it was a fantastic time. Again, thank you.
That ship is a commemoration of America's and England's brotherhood stamped by blood and sacrifice towards the freedom of the world. So god bless that ship, God bless America, and God bless England.
Blessed are the gentle for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. ... Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Bit of useless information: Winston S Churchill is the only US Navy boat that flies the Royal Navy White Ensign as well as the US flag at all times and by tradition always has a Royal Navy Officer as Navigating Officer. The Theodore Roosevelt has 6 Royal Navy deck hands on attachment for training in preparation for the QE Class carriers. It is bloody big though!
Wonkabar007 There was a similar tradition where a US Navy Officer was always part of the Bridge staff of HMS Marlborough until the last one was decommissioned in 2005.
1chish The reason that the RN deck hands and Navigating Officers board American ships is because the British Empire became a smoldering ruin after WWII. When an empire suffers a near complete collapse, you need all the help you can get; hence why the Royal Navy must now, like the lapdog it is, depend on American and Canadian assets to survive and operate in the 21st century. As a Canadian by blood, I get a particularly satisfying feeling knowing that the UK is now irrelevant and will soon be in the rubbish bin of history; they've been a plague on mankind for far too long. With Asian emigration into the UK at the levels they are, old Blighty will be dead and gone in my lifetime. Hurrah!
TheCandidCanadian You are no more Canadian than my arse... And I really can't understand why idiots like you feel the need to jump on every Thread to peddle your ignorance of history and shout your personal abuse. Now much as I love Canada I don't think we, let alone the Royal Navy, rely on too many of their assets unless you call our renting a few thousand acres of prairie and providing a lot of employment to Canadians at BATUS 'relying' (Oh Google it I can't be arsed...) For the record: There is ONE Royal Navy Navigating Officer on a US boat and that is because of the high regard the US Navy has for my country and its wartime leader. Its that simple. The Carrier deckhands are on US ships because we need to get our lads and lasses back up to speed with handling fixed wing aircraft ON DECK!. We know all there is to know about carriers as we introduced every major carrier development since building the very first aircraft carrier in 1918! And we have certainly had more carriers than Canada... Oh wait you didn't know that? And here is a thing. We have had Royal Navy pilots with operational US Navy carriers flying F18s and F15s with the USAF in combat and have done for many years. And in return we have had many US Navy, Air Force and Marine pilots training and flying operations with us. (Their aircraft of choice? The Typhoon). Oh wait..... you haven't heard of 'interoperability'? And Asian immigration? WTF? You another Yank Muslim hater peddling the jihadi myth about the 5% of our population? Now jog off and peddle your abuse elsewhere. The people here just like a pleasant conversation ..
+inselvideo Greetings to Deutschland from MA, US. I got to visit your frigate Hessen (in my profile pic) while it was at the Tall Ships in Boston. You're men were top notch.
+lukeboyuk83 I well remember Churchill's funeral being carried on American TV stations in 1964, receiving almost as much continuous air time as JFK's funeral the year before. Winston Churchill was highly and warmly regarded by Americans who lived through the WW2 era. Churchill kept kicking our isolationist butts and goading us into preparing for war at a time we did not want to do so, and Americans of that era have always been thankful for that.
+Nathan Peterson And America has named ships/boats after Lafayette and Comte de Grasse. Even a Australian city Canberra before Harold Holt... One never knows, but I doubt America will ever name a ship for a Canadian...
Being an incompetent who got so many killed during the first World war and especially during the Dardanelles hardly qualifies you as a great leader. Also being bombarded during the second World war while not having any offensive solutions until being rescued by the Americans and the American lend lease act with equipment and resources. But, hey,continue with your narrative.
Ted Carruthers it’s reality not a dream lot of Americans died for bringing peace into the world it wasn’t for america this world would be destroyed by idiots like you get some rest.
Ted Carruthers that’s madness. The US receives less oil from Iraq than it did today and they have a multi billion dollar bill. If they did this for money or resources it hasn’t paid dividends. This country protects the world and keep you being rules by a chinese russian alliance. Rest assured if america wasn’t strong you’d be u der the boot of communism and many of your family would be dead. I don’t understand how you can possibly criticise them.
Yes yes, this is the spirit we need. Do not threat my fellow Brit, as you can see at 3:29 we are well armed and prepared to invade the US and reclaim it. God save the Queen™ Plan zebra is commencing in 53 days, I am sure you and all our fellow brits know the plan down to the letter by now. Goodluck to you and God save the Queen™
the military people in USA love the size. When talking about Air Craft Carrier you always hear things like "4.5 acres of Sovereign US Territory that can be deployed over 70 percent (or however much water there is) of the world." very valuable asset although the New Brit Carriers aren't as big I'm very proud of the UK getting back into the Carrier game they will do Great Things and give UK great Leverage and Power Projection.
You've got the Queen Elizabeth class carriers coming out right? I believe one is already in service? Anyways....as a yank I always loved the Harrier. The only jet ever purchased by the US military from another nation. We still fly it.
@@dons106 Yes and yes. I thought the Harrier was one of the best multi purpose jets ever made and watched them in action during the Falklands conflict and later in the Gulf. I never did understand why they were sold off, albeit to you guys, with only small consolation that they're still in active service.
@@kenmackenzie9385 I can't tell you how good it feels to hear positive things said about the U.S., even if it is just a compliment on our military hardware.

What a great gesture by the "Yanks" to honour our nation, would be nice if we did something similar but then we don't have enough ships do we, our navy is literally bare bones level,still it leaves more money to give away to the foreigners
166PolarBear I cannot for the life of me wait to see the Elizabeth sailing in conjunction with the USS Ford. You know damn well the Elizabeth is gonna visit her son across the pond lol
I was on that ship when she pulled in, but to see her from shore coming over the horizon...WOW she is a MASSIVE ship. That was a really shitty deployment though...9 months in the blistering hot Persian Gulf :/ The A/C went out long before we reached our mission area.
America and Britannia make up 90% of the alliance's effective military might, Japan's cruisers and helicariers account for another 5%, fact is the alliance can no longer count on the EU for any mining full support so all members of the alliance need to wake up and arm them selves, we can only do so much America simply can't win a multi sided war while defending every country in the alliance, I'm happy Britain is finally building up but we still need Australia Canada and south Korea to awaken if each of them launched a single Carrier task force or at least a few helicariers the alliance's future would be that much more secure.
The US protects over a dozen countries around the world. However I'm willing to bet only a few of them would have our back if we were ever on the receiving end of an attack. Hopefully if the day ever comes Britain has our back.
The United States and Great Britain have forged a bond that cannot be broken... for the most part we share the same DNA. My ancestors on both sides of my family ALL come from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Many people I've worked with over the years also have British blood. I hope it will always stay that way, as Great Britain is the greatest of our allies 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Scooby Doo no gerald ford is a bit smaller than the current ones. The width of the carrier is reduced as well as the tonnage. It is due to make the carrier aircraft less vulnerable to attacks. But the gerald ford aircraft carrier will have the best technology in it.
+Everythingyouneedtoknow They are the exact same length, and displacement and only a few feet different in Beam. Their hulls are almost identical, the difference is primarily the technology on board. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimitz-class_aircraft_carrier en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_R._Ford-class_aircraft_carrier
To the Brits who showed up to welcome our ships.. those who remember history,, many thanx. It's sad to reflect upon the many members of the British govt who don't recognize our partnership with the UK during WW2. D-Day was accomplished thru cooperation and logistics.. To be honest, as England is an island, the logistics end was our responsibility, and we met our shared goal. And here's to the merchant Marines who perished in WW2.. Their sacrifices , the many lost lives bringing needed supplies to the UK for the war effort, basic needs for the civilians and all, many gave everything. God bless the US NAVY, GOD BLESS US ALL. Allie's forever.
"And here's to the merchant Marines who perished in WW2" No doubt. Those guys had it rough at the beginning of both world wars. Both were "the happy time" for U-boat cmdrs, if memory serves, due to the lack of escorts. Their odds of survival weren't much better than the early (again, prior to sufficient escorts) WW2 bomber crews, I'll bet. Big brass ones on those fellas.
It's worth noting that the Majority of Supply's, ship's and aircraft on D-Day where British around 35% of the US divisions that landed on D-day's supply where manufactured or produced in the British Empire, this is not meant to suggest the US contribution was not critical, to suggest that would be pretty nuts but you are wrong on the logistics front for D-day itself... It's also not having a go because the US had the Japanese to deal with so naturally the overwhelming amount of American naval effort was directed to the Pacific.
THE USS DEODOR ROOEVELT CAME OUT ON THE 700 CLUB! YOU ARE SO VERY BLESSED BECAUSE YOU CARRY WITH YOU THE MOST #1 IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE....JESUS CHRIST ON YOUR VOYAGE. AND YOU CANT BEAT THAT!!! GOD BLESS!
I've always wondered, if *a U.S. Navy, 'SuperCarrier', has/had ever been to England!* It was one of those questions that small kids, might have such as... *Does the 'light' in the refrigerator, go off, when you close the door?* Well... Thankfully, your video has, finally answered a question that has vexed me for 'YEARS'!
No one, not even the Cheeto Benito, can dampen the brotherhood of Great Britain and America! Thank you to the Brits for: - The steam catapult - The angled flight deck - The mirror landing system - Microwave radar - The mighty Merlin, that gave the Mustang (a British name given to the P-51) the performance it deserved - Chobham armor (debuted on the M1 Abrams, but invented in England) We are best together, fighting for freedom, equality and justice.
Yea Arleigh-Burkes are beautiful ships! The carriers are absolute massive monsters of the oceans! Oh, guess what - there’s 11 of those things out prowling the oceans..
Glad we have wonderful allies like England you guys are our brothers and sisters we had a bad past but got threw all of that ! We will rush to your aid if ever need be and im sure you will rush to ours like you have done in the past ! thank you !

Her call sign is 'Rough Rider." Any questions?
Most Impressive!!👍🏻
To the Brits who showed up to welcome our ships.. those who remember history,, many thanx.
It's sad to reflect upon the many members of the British govt who don't recognize our partnership with the UK during WW2. D-Day was accomplished thru cooperation and logistics.. To be honest, as England is an island, the logistics end was our responsibility, and we met our shared goal.
And here's to the merchant Marines who perished in WW2.. Their sacrifices , the many lost lives bringing needed supplies to the UK for the war effort, basic needs for the civilians and all, many gave everything.
God bless the US NAVY, GOD BLESS US ALL. Allie's forever.
"And here's to the merchant Marines who perished in WW2" No doubt. Those guys had it rough at the beginning of both world wars. Both were "the happy time" for U-boat cmdrs, if memory serves, due to the lack of escorts. Their odds of survival weren't much better than the early (again, prior to sufficient escorts) WW2 bomber crews, I'll bet. Big brass ones on those fellas.
It's worth noting that the Majority of Supply's, ship's and aircraft on D-Day where British around 35% of the US divisions that landed on D-day's supply where manufactured or produced in the British Empire, this is not meant to suggest the US contribution was not critical, to suggest that would be pretty nuts but you are wrong on the logistics front for D-day itself... It's also not having a go because the US had the Japanese to deal with so naturally the overwhelming amount of American naval effort was directed to the Pacific.
THE USS DEODOR ROOEVELT CAME OUT ON THE 700 CLUB! YOU ARE SO VERY BLESSED BECAUSE YOU CARRY WITH YOU THE MOST #1 IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE....JESUS CHRIST ON YOUR VOYAGE. AND YOU CANT BEAT THAT!!! GOD BLESS!
From 2:00 onwards, feels like the opening scene to Spaceballs.
I've always wondered, if *a U.S. Navy, 'SuperCarrier', has/had ever been to England!* It was one of those questions that small kids, might have such as...
*Does the 'light' in the refrigerator, go off, when you close the door?*
Well... Thankfully, your video has, finally answered a question that has vexed me for 'YEARS'!
Churchill's mother was a Brooklyn-born socialite and Winston was granted honorary American citizenship by JFK in 1963.
I was actually there, even went in a small boat that we paid for to get a better look
No one, not even the Cheeto Benito, can dampen the brotherhood of Great Britain and America! Thank you to the Brits for:
- The steam catapult
- The angled flight deck
- The mirror landing system
- Microwave radar
- The mighty Merlin, that gave the Mustang (a British name given to the P-51) the performance it deserved
- Chobham armor (debuted on the M1 Abrams, but invented in England)
We are best together, fighting for freedom, equality and justice.
Steam catapults and aircraft catapults overall were not singularly British designs, steam catapults were first operated by the Brits however.
Don't forget computers, the internet and the Rolls Royce engine in the P-51 Mustang
A wonderful, powerful battle group - what a sight!!
'God Bless America', And' God Bless England.'
As Scotty said, "that's a big ship" lol
Yea Arleigh-Burkes are beautiful ships! The carriers are absolute massive monsters of the oceans! Oh, guess what - there’s 11 of those things out prowling the oceans..

Jeez the Air craft carrier is freakin huge
It has to. It's a floating airstrip
Think of it this way: it's a floating nuclear power plant with an airport on top.
Great video
That tanker is a baby compared to carriers 😂
Simply awesome :D
My last carrier I helped build the radio room
Impressive indeed
Personally, I think the Arleigh-Burkes are beautiful ships.
Fooking massive m8
Can't know for sure but I imagine TR would be absolutely tickled that this monster of a ship is named after him
It is the biggest of sticks, after all.
There's an invisible sign on that boat. It's 1092 feet long and everybody can read it. It says.... Don't F with America!!! lol
Even in shadow, the new Winnie is beautiful.
And to think that all of those Nimitz class cv's are slated to be replace by Ford class ships.
Carriers are for heroes.
amazing
Nice vid Wonkabar.
Awesome 👍
Theodore Roosevelt is massive.
EVERY other country in the WORLD can dream !!!!! This carrier just oozes !!!! right who wants a Fight then !!!!!! are you sure you want a fight
Churchill is the only foreign head of state to receive the honor of having a US naval vessel christened in their name.
God bless usa

I do NOT wanna be in charge of docking that monster at 1:50 : D
Ok captain we're gonna need a bigger port
