@Benglator1: You nailed it. I had the exact same thought. Didn’t see one in the video of the surface ships, but there’s no way an attack-sub isn’t nearby, doing its thing and staying hidden. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if there was also a Boomer somewhere close. The Navy isn’t saying! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.
@William Sanders yeah I know what you mean. Just last night I drove by a merchant pier i was so close to this ship and I got kinda gitty about it reminiscing of the Norfolk base. Next year will be 10 since I separated but it will forever have a place in my heart.

@@davebartosh5 Just so you know, American warships are considered to be sovereign U.S. territory. An attack on one is considered to be the same thing as an attack on the U.S. mainland. Whoever fired said nuclear torpedo would soon find it's own mainland being obliterated by a massive U.S. nuclear counterattack.
@@classicgalactica5879 My point is that in a shooting war involving tactical nukes these VERY expensive fleets are sitting ducks. the carrier is frankly obsolete in a real shooting war. China knows this, which is why they are investing in those anti-carrier missiles. Meanwhile, we're planning to build 40 of these Ford Class carriers...while we have homeless and undereducated morons all over our streets. The militay budget, especially the Navy's is a crime.
Even with our newer issues infecting our society & military, we're still the greatest country in the history of the world with the greatest military on the face of the earth. 🇺🇸✝️
Quando vejo navios da MARINHA NORTE AMERICANA meu coração até dói pois meu grande sonho é servir em um desses e também ficaria feliz só de conhecer uma dessas embarcações!
If you have an education you might be able to join, there are non US citizens in the US Military but they have legal residence in the US and will receive US citizenship for serving. There have been exceptions tho.
If you're looking for trouble and you try something within a thousand miles of this bunch, you found it. Good to see other NATO member flags in there as well. Do the US Navy or NATO mind if I use the expression "totally badass"? (I also love that the colors of the brand-new battle flag flying on the Ford bear a definite resemblance to those of Ukraine's flag, although vertically inverted. Possibly not a pure coincidence.)
I spent ten years active in the USN, and deployed aboard four aircraft carriers; USS Kitty Hawk CV-63, USS America CV-66, USS Enterprise CVN-65, and USS Constellation CV-64. A total of 12 years in the Navy counting reserve time. I also did four years in the California National Guard, as a tank gunner on the M-60A3.
At one point usa didn't even have a Navy and was oppressed by the biggest Naval power of the time the British empire. Now look how great it is! Glory usa! What is usa Without the quality of the military? It's the biggest dignified group of men and women ethical and honorable. Cheers 🍻 👏
Lol you must have missed all the war crimes that we committed in each war we got involved in. The military branches are made of humans and thus they have the same problems with crimes. Otherwise if they are all ethical then you wouldn't really need MPs now would you? Let's not generalize them, good or bad
@@thecurlew7403 Get real the QE is the worlds most advanced V/STOL carrier and if you do your homework on data linked integrated sensor technology and how that works you will see why it was built and whats its role is when it comes to NATO and Indo/pacific operations . same with its sister ship !
@@SNOWDONTRYFAN If they are advanced why is pow in bad trouble and dont know if it can be fixed QE lifts they say arr seized if true then like type 45 were never built aright like most of british so called engineering .
US has the power to bring the air force of a small nation, plus a marine strike unit to an area within less than a week. Not to mention bringing nuclear capable submarines (if they weren't already there)
Yeah Spain fucked up sending their ENTIRE fleet after Elizabeth. You would’ve thought they’d know better than traveling those waters during that time which resulted in them losing their entire armada.
yes, NATO allied ships join US strike groups regularly and operate as a member of that group. Especially when those strike groups operate in their region.
God Blessed day to your missions!! There are many innocent people suffering if you see in the Satellite internet connections or in your private Drones!!!
The projection of power that these warships have is insane. There is nothing else that compares.
haha not possible to drop
When you realize it’s not even 10% of power becomes more insane
If we live to be old enough in 40 years
We'll see all 10 Ford class carriers in action

They'll all be sunk by Sweden. Haven't you heard?
Lurking somewhere below all that water displacement is a hunter/killer submarine. Either at point or keeping a close watch covering the rear.
