Scary USS Gerald R. Ford - How Powerful is the CVN-78? US Navy's $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ย. 2019
- The new US Navy's $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier features a host of new and untested technology, including the ship’s two main turbine generators, a new dual-band radar system, advanced weapons elevators, and a new advanced arresting gear on the flight deck. U.S. President Donald Trump objected to the installation of some of the new systems such as General Dynamics’ new electromagnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford.

I totally agree, how powerful the Air Craft Carrie' s are. I was USS Frankllin D. Roosevelt 1976. Bring' s back memories. Retired Navy Veteran.
Thank you for your service shipmate

FDR relieved us in in the MED in July 1957, and we were very glad to see her. I was a Marine orderly serving aboard LAKE CHAMPLAIN CVA39. That fall we were converted to CVS39.
@@danielrousseau4842 thank you for your Service.
I can't wait for 80, there must always be a USS Enterprise.
they should have saved it for the spaceforce
Who says we can't also have a space Enterprise?
She will be launched in a few short years.

@@JohnJohnson-dj2dv They will. Not sure why the delays but it is kind of embarrassing what's going on with the Ford. The USS Enterprise CVN-65 was the wonder of her day and age, and deployed in a record 11 months. Go figure.

I like how the US NAVY is by far boss of the oceans! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇺🇸🇳🇱
I served on the USS Constellation CVA-64. She made 280,000 shaft horse power. Kitty Hawk did too. The both of them could haul posterior...without adding to the radioactive waste problem.
One of the red shirts had VAQ-129 on the back. That was my squadron when I was in Vietnam. We flew the A-3 Skywarrior, and was stationed out of Whidbey Island Washington. That was in 1970 and 71.
Once the USS Enterprise goes in service, redshirts die first.
Massive respect, my brother.
Those boats are all dead.. I spent 20 years on them.. They even shelved the Vinson.. First nuke I was on.. I think with politics today is that we are on a downward spiral.. Seriously we are worried about a few billion for a carrier and bezos gave his ex forty billion.. C'mon please!! If someone can buy your military..you don't have one !! It's that simple.
I served aboard the USS Kitty Hawk during the Viet Nam war. This carrier is much bigger and badder than the old ones! Love the video.
Me too .
Being a US Navy Veteran of 20 yrs I truly enjoyed this. I served on 3 Aircraft Carriers and an Amphibious Assault Ship. Looking forward to seeing CVN-79 as the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) was my first Ship!!
My son is on the Gerald R Ford now. He’s stationed in Norfolk VA. Thank u for ur service. I’m so proud of the US and love he’s helping protecting our country.

When You realize that a single Ford Class carries more air power than most modern countries...
I think even the Nimitz class carries more air power than my country's entire Air Force. Good to the friends though!
It houses 90 fighters while japan use carriers in ww2 had 80 such a small leap for such a large price gap
@@michaelgoldsmith9359 You cannot compare WWII carriers with a Ford or even Nimitz class carrier.
The number of planes is a meaningless metric when the planes are so different. An F-18 Is several times bigger and heavier than a Japanese Zero or US Hellcat.
If we are talking size, the Shokaku class carriers had a max displacement of aprox 35 000 tones. Ford class goes up to 100 000 tones. But even that is a silly comparison.
There are a million reasons why the Ford is so expensive but the bottom line is that there no point trying to compare a 1930s design to something from 2016.
Tanks and CV are all irony coffins in modern wars.

Lmao best comment this year
Good one.
Ummmm, how so exactly? Don't even get why you'd say that or the correlation....
yeah. cuz we've been launching aircraft carriers for 20'000 years.
I served both on the USS Midway and USS Nimitz. I always wanted to be on the Enterprise because of the historic name. Can't wait for the new CVN 80 even if they are the same ship. Just love the name.
Bring back these names for an aircraft carrier, Valley Forge, Ticonderoga, Enterprise, Lexington, Yorktown, Bennington, Bunker Hill, Oriskany, Princeton, Lake Champlain and Shangri-la. No more carriers with politicians or ex presidents name.
@@ramal5708 some of those carriers sunk on ww2 how can he bring it back
@@ramal5708 btw you forgot uss hornet
My daughter is an IS1 (AW) (SW) (EIWS) on the Ford and it is a great ship. Also I was a Nuke in the Navy, the Nimitz reactors are good for 20 - 25 years, the Ford's A1B is good for the life of the carrier. You forgot the Air Wing COD's which are very important. You are not pronouncing Grumman correctly. Great video, I really enjoyed it!
I was in the Marines and we got a ride on a destroyer helping us do sub ops . One of the most incredible experiences of my life besides being allows to eat in the Captains mess ..... One of the best meals I ever had also . I can't even imagine how incredible it is on this ship ! ..... Semper Fi to all who serve on this ship ..... and all services !!!
They are indeed a truly awesome machine. I say this as a pilot who flew missions over Vietnam from the Enterprise and America. I never got over the immensity of these man made, floating, maneuvering, machines which housed and supported 5,000 men and nearly 100 aircraft in any and all weather and anywhere on the ocean.
@@rickmurray7123 Yeah,it's crazy how such things can even be built.
I'm in love with the new design.......makes me wish I was 17 again so I could enlist and serve on one of these! One of my best friends joined the Navy and got to serve on the Tarawa, ferrying the Marines around the world wherever they were needed.
USA proved once again to be the leading country in military stuff. Stunning
Yeah, at the cost in a decaying educational, infrastructure, and social system!!!. Just look at the mess the country is in now!!!.
As impressive as their military stuff are, I feel like they're going overkill with their budget.
i find it hilarious when China pretends like they can go toe to toe with the US in the air or at sea. They have a large army but they're navy is a joke, they brag about having an aircraft carrier when the US built their first carrier 108 years ago so the Chinese are a bit behind the game, they use designs like the sky jump deck that are almost never used by serious navies (the Queen Elizabeth being the only exception i know of since WW2), and they built it using Soviet scrap metal they had to lie to get from Ukraine. Those are the sorts of things you see from minor navies like Vietnam or Mexico, not world power navies.
@PCTech Guy the Brits used to have flat tops until recently with the Queen Elizabeth class, Frances is a flat top, Brazils is a flat top but it's a helicopter carrier so it has no use for a ramp, Russia uses mostly ramps because they traditionally have heavier planes and less reason to bother with a large navy (as well as lacking in naval tech since with the exception of their subs their navy is almost all defensive), india imported a Russian carrier so it has a ramp, Italy has 2 flat top carriers, Japan has flat tops, Spain has a ramp carrier, and Thailands carrier has a ramp. If you go by number of countries it's a fairly even split but if you go by raw ship numbers or tonnage then flat tops are more common, and the countries that operate flat tops are typically more advanced when it comes to naval tech since the flat tops are more complicated and usually require more work designing air craft that will work with them. The counties who've traditionally focused on flat tops are ones who've typically had a heavy focus on naval superiority (like France, Japan, UK, and of course the US) while the counties who've used ramps are usually "making do" with ramps to get a couple carriers in their fleets without investing too much.
Even beyond their common political doctrine there's alot of parallels between the old Soviet Union and modern PRC. The USSR knew they couldn't compete at sea with the US/NATO so they used subs to avoid NATO ships and strike at random and focused alot on anti ship missiles to keep NATO at bay. They also wanted to at least give the illusion of a strong navy so they built some air craft carriers and capital ships that were mostly ineffectual with some being sort of "jack of all trades master of none" since they were too small or tried filling multiple roles like their Moska class that was part surface combat ship part helicopter carrier but not really good at either role. The Chinese meanwhile have their flag ship that was first a failed air craft carrier, then a pile of scrap, then was going to be a casino, then was smuggled into the country to be Jerry rigged into a capital ship... not the most prestigious or promising beginning especially since the chinese are just copying the soviet designs that as previously mentioned where kind of a mess and never designed to really compete with the US.
Sorry I kind of went on a tangent there, I've partaken in the devil's cabbage and tend to ramble
Go forward, America! Long live the Nato! Long live freedom! Down with all dictatorships and terrorists all around the world! Best wishes from Germany!
I came here to see if they could carry both Kong and Godzilla at the same time
UK here to say we are proud of our son UK and USA brothers forever🇬🇧🇺🇸
Facianating how far radar has come. Gone are the huge rotating array (s) that have been common place for decades...Awesome ship! Go Navy!
And now with the F-35C proving itself as a distant/over the horizon sensor platform, the carrier battle group gets much more lead time in case any enemy launches "carrier killer" type missiles. The stealthy F-35 will likely have the ability to shoot them down. The Ford class carrier has huge power reserves planned in for future rail guns and laser defense systems as well.
The only problem is that someone didn't design the Ford to launch the F-35C. Succeeding ships in the class will be able to do so, but Ford won't have that capability until her first refit in about 10 years.
and in the meantime, millions of strong young men die! …and they all have family! For some, testosterone only ignited by killing!
I spent over 38 years @ NNSY building and overhauling Aircraft Carriers. Every time I stepped on one, or under one, I'd shake my head in awe.
Gerald R. Ford commissioned USS Nimitz CVN-68 In May 1975, cost 106.5 million
(equivalent to 816.61 million today) The Nimitz was scheduled for de-commission in 2022, but that has been extended for 5 to 8 years.
My dad got Sea-qual'd on the Kitty Hawk. This is a whole other level. The U.K., China, Japan, Russia, and others are in the carrier game now even after decades of the Nimitz Class dominance. Not sure how to anticipate.
I was on the Kitty Hawk I the 60s .
Love it, I served on the USS Carl Vinson CVN 70..
Cheers! West Pac 90.
WHat's it like serving on one of these monsters? Must be like a small city on the sea.
My father supervised the building and installing of the cat and arresting gear and all sea trials on this carrier - god speed 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
God bless my military personnel, in every way possible. Thank you for your service!!
You wouldn't believe what that thing could do. It is literally a mighty fortress at sea.
I'm a certified structural welder, I can only imagine the certifications and scrutiny that go into welding an aircraft carrier.
@Chuck Taylor Cause if they're not...oh dear
I worked on a LNG plant Bechtel built for Chevron here in Australia. Bechtel dont mess around. I know they fired a guy during the initial induction process when he arrived on site due to his perceived poor attitude during the induction. He flew in one day and flew out the next. . Then I saw them fire their own project manager because he was caught in a compromising situation with a woman. There were 9000 people on the project. I saw them eject a entire sub contractor company from the project because of the behavior of a few of its employees. Just tore up their contract and told them to get out. I shudder at what their standards must be like in building and installing reactors in warships for the US Navy. I found their American managers treated the Australian guys on the tools very well but were extremely hard on the sub contractor management teams. You could smell the fear in the air when the Bechtel managers were around....🤣🤣🤣
oh they have more than one welder, never fear.
Most of the big butt welds will by Sub Arc, similar to a Submarine
mattorama I’m a structural welder at the shipyard shown in this video currently working on cvn 79 right now all you have to do is pass the welding school they make you take as a new hire and that’s it lol I came in with no experience what so ever
Awesome... And thank you to all who serve/served...
It is the man , women and the Air Wings that makes these Carries the Leather Weapons that are. Go Navy !
Great video! Enjoyed the update on the carrier.
The best Carrier ever 🇧🇷🇺🇸

Yup and that thing has a much better chance of sinking, burning, losing power, etc. like so many cruise ships over the last 20 or 30 years have experienced unlike supercarriers.
sevenrats Great.
@@sluggoman2551 You aren't very smart. Do you have any idea how many cruises sail every year? Do you have any idea how rare it is for there to be any problem at all? Do you have any idea how many accidents there are on the very small number of aircraft carriers there are? Obviously not. It is much much more dangerous to be on an aircraft carrier than any cruise ship.

Yes, makes one suspect the rest of the video when you can’t get something as simple as that correct.
Referring to classes by their hull number is also kind of awkward.
LtVoyager. Yeah, I agree
nothing can possiblee go wrong
The fact that the background music is the Battlefield theme is just awesome
Imagine an aircraft carrier going fast enough that it can pull a water skier. Now THAT is power!!
I hope the Nimitz class carriers are not fully retired. I doesn't hurt to have a few carriers available for mainline defence. My guess is that they semi-retire these ships. I hope they continue to maintain the Nimitz while in drydock.
Truly amazing Carrier! Congratulations from Brazil!
you want one ?
I was on the Stennis (CVN-74) and there is no way to show in a video like this what just one nuclear powered aircraft carrier is capable of. The USN currently operates 11 of the worlds 44 aircraft carriers. That is some scary firepower. This taken with the fact that the USN is the second largest “Air Force” in the world, should give any nation pause when thinking about testing our waters.
Totally Amazing, Cat drags on CVA 63 took my hearing as a ACC Tech BT But overall Amazing, that was from the late 60s to early 70s. I still work for the Surface Navy.
The fourth and fifth Ford carriers have been authorized. CVN 81, the USS Doris Miller, a great name for an American Hero and CVN 82, yet to be named.
Excellent 🙏🏻
No matter what company owns the shipyard it will always be The Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company. Great job on the Ford.

BECAUSE CHINA HAS BOUGHT A HUGE AMOUNT OF USA FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEBT FROM THE US Treasury, and they receive bug bucks in interest payment every damn day.
The US treasury in turn owes the “Federal Reserve” as well but I really don’t know how that happens.
Seems more like the Federal Reserve just makes up money out of nothing and the US taxpayers gets to be indentured servants ....... I dunno.
It’s weird.
@Ho Chi Wang an aircraft carrier has a very large and effective defence system to tackle threats which is constantly advancing.
Ho Chi Wang What are you talking about Its not world war 2 technology its modern and nothing could ever get in range the carrier to attack it with missiles with the defending aircraft it has
@Ho Chi Wang You're fucking idiot, you know that?
From my knowledge from VA 75 A6A Intruder squadron that was on the USS Enterprise before I went over to Nam on the USS Coral Sea (CVA43) in VA 35, also an A6A Intruder Squadron, guys I talked with said the top speed of the USS Enterprise was top secret. It was also a nuclear carrier. VA 35 and VA 75 were stationed out of NAS Oceana, Virginia. One friend from VA 35 said the rooster tail was above the flight deck,, that's moving. The Coral Sea was an old carrier when we were deployed in 69-70.

No need.
Russia would reduce your fleet to ashes with TU-160 Blackjacks before you were in range to launch your aircraft.
Which is kind of funny because this was a British play from the 1950s. The Royal Navy realized it could never match Soviet Sverdlov cruisers with cruisers of its own.. so it invented the Blackburn Buccaneer.

its interesting how difficult to understand the size it is, certain angles make it look kid of normal, then from a distance it looks huge.
The most powerful carrier in the fleet an awesome force to be deployed
If you never seen it up close. Its atleast 5-6 times as big as you imagining it in your head right not.. its ENORMOUS.
😀 how epic does this look would be brilliant to see it sail into the UK 🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
Wow, it’s a “sports” carrier. I’m really hoping for a muscle carrier
That means it can hit 30 knots faster than you can wash your car.
Trojan war was won by brains.
Makes my old carrier I was on look positively puny but then my chances of getting lost were a lot less I suspect.
The Americans have managed to lay down an impressive weapon indeed, this ship alone is more powerful than the entire armies of many nations.

The Captain of the Zumwalt's name is James Kirk. I'll put fifty bucks up that says he'll be Captain of the new Enterprise within ten years of her being commissioned.
Commissioned her with a 'live long and prosper' even. However he has been on US carrier command staff before and is now captain of the most advanced destroyer that doesn't really work.
If keeps growing them brass balls 6-8 years before he will be commanding a US carrier but not the Enterprise. No way they will give command of the Big E to a inexperienced captain.
Not likely. Zumwalt is a destroyer, and therefore commanded by a black shoe, surface warfare type. Aircraft carriers are always commanded by brown shoe Naval Aviators.
@@patricklappert7420 facts, black shoes largest ship would be a LHD amphibious assault ship which both sides can command, I was on the bataan lhd5
@@patricklappert7420 and said fly boys got to go to Nuclear power school as well in order to even be an XO
At that cost, they should be helicarriers like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s in the Avengers.
Your an idiot
Joseph Muncie your a buzzkill
Beautiful information , God bless America .
They should put a giant bumper sticker on the rear of the ship - "FUCK AROUND, FIND OUT"
Is more what represents than what it is, like the Yamato and the Bismarck is just a big target at sea, nothing is unsinkable.
Franco Barone the carrier is you can't beat it with ships you can't beat it with aircraft and it's also the most protected ship on the planet because the first time something even shoots in the carriers direction the USA is gonna own the nation that fired the shot and if the carrier sinks the nation that sunk it is gonna sink
Except Molly Brown.
If anybody shot as the carrier they would be completely destroyed
Vegan Jerry no Molly brown would be ashes
@@timburm8847 Exactly what I said, is more what represents than what really is, that's the main reason people thinks two tor three times before shooting at it.
Can't wait for Enterprise to come back.
THE BIG E
hi M Y...
'
yeaaa would be nice Enterprise re-duty ship
I honestly believe we should NEVER be with out a USS Enterprise active in the fleet. The history of the namesake should justify always having one active.
Was on it in Oakland as a kid!
@@gadget19k76 ; that's what SECNAV said during the decommissioning of the last Enterprise.
Ty for updating me U.S.military hardware's
I love military engineering 👍🏻👍🏻!!!
The music🤩
Battlefield 1942 omg i love it
I love how they say 30+ knots - when you are on a CG going full power close to 30 Knots and a nuke carrier disappears over the horizon because its going so much faster - its so much fun to do an unrep next to one of these when they go to flight quarters
GREAT Video !!!! Great presentation !!!!!
The levels of savings from automation is awesom. I served on a destroyer in the mid 70s had 400 men. that workload could be manned by less than 200 personel.
That's 200 less jobs for people. Not good for the economy.
As robots and automation take over people will be forced to have a universal basic income.
Basically everyone will be on welfare.
How long do you think the scum running the world will allow that?
It will just make it even easier for them to justify genocide.
Think its a joke?
Its already being planned...
6:56 It's 50 cent! He works as green shirt now...
"Grum"...sounds like Drum
Sure wish I could do a cruise on the ship. I served on the Midway during the early 70’s. V-2 div arresting gear .
Outstanding content.
USA, USA, USA, USA....
The best.
Are you mispronouncing Grumman? Maybe you're thinking of Groom Lake, NV.
USS Gerald R Ford : somos lider de la flota😎 , grande y orgulloso 😎
