From Wikipedia: USS Antietam (CV/CVA/CVS-36) was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during and shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. The ship was the second US Navy ship to bear the name, and was named for the American Civil War Battle of Antietam (Maryland). Antietam was commissioned in January 1945, too late to serve actively in World War II. After serving a short time in the Far East, she was decommissioned in 1949. She was soon recommissioned for Korean War service, and in that conflict earned two battle stars. In the early 1950s, she was redesignated an attack carrier (CVA) and then an antisubmarine warfare carrier (CVS). After the Korean War she spent the rest of her career operating in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. From 1957 until her deactivation, she was the Navy's training carrier, operating out of Florida. Antietam was fitted with a port sponson in 1952 to make her the world's first true angled-deck aircraft carrier. However, she received no major modernizations other than this, and thus throughout her career largely retained the classic appearance of a World War II Essex-class ship. She was decommissioned in 1963, and sold for scrap in 1974.
Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother recently xD
@@mathiasuriel6002 do people really fall for this shit? You guys are all obviously working together . Trying to make it seem like random dudes just answer you and agree with the BS you are spouting. Go smoke another one and try again. 🤣🤣😂😂
great to see so many of the early naval jets! ... the Phantom, the Demon, Skyray, Cutlass, etc..... Hard to imagine being a pilot on the straight deck carriers and having to face a barricade if you didn't catch the wire.
Another great offering from PF, thanks. And today it’s a case of not where to park aircraft or how to get the most from the space available, more a case of how many aircraft do you want on deck. Thank goodness the British invented the angled deck concept, otherwise the United States would need an even bigger carrier force. Genuine question, could use Google, but don’t want too, when did the USA switch from wooden deck carriers to armoured, I ask because, although the film might be masking it, the deck on this carrier appears wooden, or it’s an older carrier, just curious.
Check Wikipedia they have a full description of the question you ask.. Basicly during ww2 the brits had armoured flight decks whilst usa had wooden decks. Giving the brits better survivability against kamikaze attacks.

Spent twenty years on these monsters...would do it again.
My father flew the F9F during Korea and the A-4 during Vietnam.
Welcome home, Steven.
Was on USS Hancock CVA -19 when she was fitted with angled deck and Hurricane Bow in1956-1957 Beautiful ship!
Lowell Price thank you for your service!
My father flew the F9F Panther during Korea. He successfully landed after sustaining antiaircraft damage to the nosecone.

I love all the navy lingo. “Strike below.”
Veteran, USS Forrestal (CVA-59), 70-74
Thanks for this 👍
Great video
The first carrier to have an angled flight deck was British. As was the first purpose built carrier.
Description does state it was a Royal Navy officer.
In 1914 during WWI at the Battle of Tsingtao the Japanese navy launched the first successful naval-launched air raids.
outstanding!!!
43 was my ship

Brilliant idea why we (British) think of that??
