More airpower on that upper deck of CVN-78 than in my whole countries air force 🙆♂😁
All good, so in that case it'd be a good move to make friends and seek alliance with the US. Good neighbors can be very useful, but this requires the neighbors to be decent folks, right?
@@Project_-jq7jw We are decent folks over here, but since '94 our government (criminals) prefer Russ and China. We need to find oil so you folks can come and deliver some freedom.
@@Project_-jq7jw yes says Ukraine to Russia
Yeah, any country with more than zero planes can have a bigger air force that another countries. Imagine having two! That’s more than Zero. Wow.
@@cedric182 than Cedric, than, wow 😉
To think about all the different war vessels That body of water has seen throughout history Is kind of mind blowing.
Is is very beautifull as long is not an enemy!
Gorgeous ship.
Awesome thanks to all the brave men and women who protect our freedom and safety , GOD BLESS !!!❤😊
Love these vids of supercarriers in different locals. Some of my favs are when the Ford was transitng the Norwegian Fjords.
Safe travels to all….lots of power and authority.
Always exciting when US carriers visit my home town.
Nice see her in off duty time temporary
My navy ship
Uss New Jersey bb62' visited many times bet

I was on vacation for the first time in athens around the time the uss gerry ford entered athenian waters. I wondered, was she escorted by any destroyer, cruiser, corvette? in all honesty (it's the first aircraft carrier I've seen with my own eyes) I expected to find some Arleigh Burke around it, or a Ticonderoga (rarer) or some other escort vessels...submarines? nothing? I got to see it even more closely, but I didn't see anything.
@flaviosonetti515 More than likely, they were outside of the carriers anchoring location patrolling and guarding the entrance. The carrier at anchor is at her most defenseless state outside of U.S. territory. Rest assured, she is well protected at all times while visiting allied territory.
That’s amazing the ship is flying both American & Greek flag.
To indicate NATO unity. It's a part of the NATO protocol.
@@Headonwriter figured
Sailing customs and courtesies is that your ship flies the flag of the country you are porting in under your own. Military and Commercial ships do it. Not just NATO countries, cheers.
I am hoping to visit grece in Jan or March if still alive. I am us navy man fr 7th fleet
It’s not amazing if it’s always done. It’s just the way it is.
WELCOME TO GREECE FRIENDS..HOPE YOU LIKE THE DAY OFF AND ENJOY WALK AT ACROPOLIS AND PLAKA TRADITIONAL STREETS..DID YOU ENJOY GREEK FOOD AND SUN ?
I wish I had seen Greece when I was in the military. Unfortunately I saw West Germany mostly. But to see the cradle of Democracy would have been life changing.
Who cares they are here for business!!!!
I care why;
I would join the navy just to see Greece .
@edwardcronin943 You are always welcome to Greece, in any case. Stay safe ,I wish all the best. 🇬🇷🇺🇲👏👍💪🌷
Impressive video, an opportunity that you executed perfectly!!!!!!!!
thanks you but we must do it better next time.
@@11AviationVideos we definitely will.....
Liberty call, liberty call!!
Never underestimate the will of a free man
That was wonderful thank you. Cheers from South Africa
100,000 tons of diplomacy and anyone who wants to mess with it.
100,000 tons of Hubris..
@@user-mr4uo5mw9n Try using that ship against a peer adversary.. See what happens..
@@jayspik6498 There are none...
Yessir!
@@jayspik6498LOL, no. Our diplomacy has an excellent track record. Not hubris, but proven results.
America my love and US military my darling and best equipped force on earth, i say this with pride and arrogance, I'm not ashamed and I will not apologize for it
Well, I agree except for the arrogance part. I'm sure there is a better way than that. I don't believe that I'm an arrogant American, but rather confident. So maybe you can be prideful and confident instead. Something to consider anyway. Have a good day.
The thought of waking up just before dawn, and having a cup of your favorite coffee on the deck of an aircraft carrier... priceless.
I miss the Tomcats
Everyone on this earth my friend.
so cool
A show of force to reckon with ! 💪🇺🇲 But necessary to maintain Peace ✌️ ! Peace !
Imagine being a small town fisherman in greece and you turn around and see this coming by or God forbid at you
True, but to be honest, if the ship was coming for you then you wouldn't see it anywhere. Carriers strike their targets from well over the horizon.
Awesome projection of power!!!
So, the design is unlike the Forrestal Class or the Nimitz Class. The island is way back stern vice midships. Greater flight deck area. Better to best!
If you miss the climb up to the Parthenon in Acropolis, your port visit to Athens, Greece, is incomplete. Just an awesome appreciation of how much human energy moved those huge stone pillars up the hill. On top and sitting on those steps around the Parthenon is emotional. It is equally difficult to reconcile how Venice, Italy existed.
I believe the island was pushed aft so the area forward of it can be used as a pitstop of sorts. She also has one less elevator and with the island's new location, taxiing vehicles is still more manageable and more efficient overall.
Yes! Exellent
A menacing display of power to those dictators out there. Please send a copy of this "BAD" music to them-dictators; the music may mellow them down somehow.
Gigante e imponente 💪💪💪
Epic .
The soundtrack fits the film pretty well
Merci pour le partage et les close up sur les CAG birds!
I've never seen anyone have such clearance to see the inner workings of the carrier and to be underneath and around the fighter jets! It's incredible. You even showed the room where the anchors are released! I've never seen that section before. Subscribed!
F18 I LIKE IT
Realy I like this aircraft
It's so beautiful
Jeez, this video has so many cuts and not a single one lasting more than a minute
Awesome video. Amazing ship.
Just got a pic from my boy taking a smaller vessel to shore with the ford in the background. Go navy!
Wow...whatta dirty size of a boat!😮😮😮
BAD ASS BABY!
💖
CVN-78 than in my whole countries air force
Quite a honour for a short term
President!
Gerald ford was a navy veteran
Yep. It's too bad that the US got suckered by Reagan and his Hollywood flair. The oil embargo was a bad deal for Ford. At least we've reduced the risk from future threats like that. Ford deserved better anyway.
An Awesome Ship! All the World's Terrorists and enemies should think twice before going against the protectors of the world.
@@wolfeknighthawke4949 That's a bit high and mighty of you. Protectors of their own interests is more like it.
f18 honnet so beautiful
Wow what a beast of a ship outstanding USA would it be named after P. Gerald Ford think it was term. 1974-1977?? CONGRATULATIONS N.Z. 3:50
Ford was a pilot in the US Navy during WW2.
@@stevenalvarado-doc7334 Thanks I didn't know that
WOW
The Black Sea is in reach - very good to know that US Navy is prepared ! The criminals in Kremlin need a clear message that the democratic states of the world do not tolerate violence - and such a message is: the closing of the airspace over Ukraine and the delivery of long-range missiles to Ukraine for the case that Russian criminals fire from Russia to Ukraine (what they constantly do).
In such case Ukraine is allowed to fire back into Russia. All according to normal logic and international law.
Hooah!! I'm waiting for Russia to make a bad move. We'll sink their damn ships no problem. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy as my kids like to say. And for Putin, "Nah nanah boo boo, stick your head in doo doo, you limey bitch!" :P
While the USN doesn't send carriers into the Black Sea, it does send a destroyer there to exercise freedom of navigation. This usually draws out the ire of Russia so they will send in aircraft to buzz the ships. In the 80s and early 90s the Russians actuall sent in ships to intimidate USN vessels and even make physical contact sometimes.
True story.....the Black Sea is host to the latest Russian submarine......the Slava class missile cruiser named Moskva.....thanks to Ukraine.

Imagine the ancient Greeks seeing something like this in their waters.
A vulgar display of power! 💪✌️
Umm, I don't know how to interpret your meaning. I would have said, "A strong display of power!". The word vulgar has negative connotations to it. The US has a moral responsibility to use its resources to help maintain peace in the world. We don't want war. NATO was formed after WWII to help prevent war. Millions died in WWII. People (not necessarily you) keep acting like the US and NATO are the bad guys, and I'm sick of that crap. Bad actors in the world say crap like that. Anyway, have a good day.
Boo hoo
What you call 'vulgar display of power' is what we call 'show of support to our allies and a military deterrent to hostile countries'

National ensign and Courtesy flag.

What would Aristotle think of this? 🤔
*Why is there a Greek flag on a US aircraft carrier?8
My knowledge about ships is not the best to answer, but i beilive because it is official visit in the country. But still the carrier is USA soil.
Love seeing the CAG planes
Go navy 🇺🇸
as the west said 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧🇯🇵🇰🇷🇺🇲🇪🇺 free and open INDO PACIFIC 🌏
Huh? Quantum- Entanglement?
Wait. Let's start slow here. In school, I learned that Athens is in the Mediterranean Sea.
The ship needs to visit Istanbul next, or Erdogan will feel slighted.
Need more Carriers!! And we need to get these arsenal ships fielded also! We need more bigger ships that can put out hundreds of planes and thousands of missiles, because of assholes out there who keep flexing on us!

Please stay away from us
God Name Is Rubbish
Our newest SuperCarrier and No F-35s or the V-22 Osprey? Whats up with that?
I guess Hornets will not fly forever. Everything will be replaced by F-35s
F-35Bs and V-22s are on LHDs and LHAs.
Yes they are, they are also on some of the super carriers that has been drydocked to prepare the decks, you would think our brand new carrier would have that already apparently they do not??????@@Gridlocked
@@michaell.8513 Yeah, I’m wondering too as well.
@@michaell.8513 It is best to test everything with aircraft you already know the ins and outs of. They replaced other carriers airwings first but when there is enough F35Cs it will get its own wing.
😂 what !!?? This is a vacation for this carrier 😂 why are we in Europe for what !!!???? For waisting taxpayers money that's WHY 😂
i can not answer you on that. Those are 100.000 tonnes of politics. I am just an aviation enthusiast!
How long before it sinks?
I'd say longer than the Special Military Operation.
