It was an honor to be a member of the original crew who got the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72), commissioned. I am a Plankowner of this great ship and I am very happy with the dedication to restoring this carrier. and everything we have accomplished! God Bless you all for keeping, Honest Abe Alive... “WE SHALL NOT PERISH!” ⚓️🇺🇸
It was cold on commissioning day and cold when we got to Alameda. Lol
I am a proud plank owner of the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, CVN-72! Great to see new life in a magnificent ship. Retired 1996, 22 years.
Hail Fellow Plankowner
Hi good to know you also work in that ship Im looking for a man who also work there I met him in Subic on Oct 1991,maybe its a little bit batchmate during that time
We got 12 of those cities and they are the pride of the navy and the nation.
Anthony Heflin 23 aircraft carriers now but really only 10 or 12 of them the navy actually calls carriers.
Only 10 nimitz class carriers
Mmm the smell of floating cities...
@Kevin Laughlin no
I,as a 19 yr old kid, was a member of the aircraft carrier, USS AMERICA- CVA 66, with a vietnam war deployment. PROUD MEMBER OF THE GULF OF TONKIN YACHT CLUB ! LONG LIVE " THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!!!!!!
So Proud of You Captain Ronald Ravelo: Greetings from Philippines
My son serves on the Abraham Lincoln and I am a proud mother. I am proud of our country. God bless them all.
That's a beautiful ship
As a Plankowner it is such a proud moment to see her in service again. I was there for the rescue in P.I. Hanger bay was nicknamed the dog pound because we also rescued many dogs.
Hey!!!! FELLOW PLANKOWNER!!! MT.PINATUBO!!!
Gods speed to the ship and crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln as you go forth to protect and serve a thankful nation.
Amen~
@ Shut up.
Served four years on board CVA-42. I had a blast! 3 deployments in the Med with the US 6th. Fleet. Completed 25 years of service in the US Navy.
Go Navy! Anchors Aweigh! 😃👍
Makes me proud to be an American 🇺🇸
You weren't proud before? Make America great again!
Mike Luccketta lol 😂
Merica
I served on the USS Abraham Lincoln back in 1993. It was a great experience!!!
I'm a Plankowner. Her first 2 deployments. Weps Dept.
maybe if you were senior leadership or an officer
JSS 66 Thank you for your service.
This Carrier is beautiful!
OH YEA YEA
Glory to America
the first Carrier Capt Filipino America!!!!!!! so much respect for the captain!!!!!!!
Andrew Villanueva it’s about time! They’ve always been a flip Navy in the United States Navy! So much so as an African American we ran across multitudes of Filipinos!
Actually deyum
@@waynefletcher9884 I am a retired Army disabled veteran, 99.9% of Filipinos join the Navy, I spent 20 years in the Army as an Infantryman, never have I met a Filipino, they don't join the Army or the Marines, they go for the easy jobs.
rahims abdel oh but they do join the Corps too! In fact one of my Drill Instructors SSgt Dellion was one of the meanest mother F’ers ever! We called him Duke of Darkness & Prince of Pain! He was only 5’ 6” maybe 137 but cut and he’ll of a Marine! Yes there were a few other Filipinos eyes to see in the Marine Corps from time to time!
I actually wasn't a huge fan of him. I was there for the last 1 1/2 years of RCOH and he always felt like he actually didn't care. He also was accused of theft. he was ok. most people called him Ronnie Ravioli or ol' braceface. I think the coolest thing he and the rest of that triad did was when they made announcements they each had their own phrase. I can't remember them now, but they were like strength and honor/valor/glory.
I did my last cruise on the Lincoln in 1993. God bless her and all those who sail on her.
Thank you for your service
@@researcherdr.bryansanchez5543 Thank you for your support
Awesome.. the family continues the tradition
I was privileged to sit in the Captain's Chair in the CIC (Combat Information Centre) in Nov (?) '89. The Abe Lincoln was moored along-side at Alameda Naval Air Base, San Francisco. This was during the period when the Ship still 'Belonged' to the Ship-Builders (Norfolk Ship-Yard VA), prior to going on 'Sea-Trials' with the Navy, out in the Pacific. Talk of being Overwhelmed is an understatement, It wasn't until I was stood on the Dock-Side, looking up to the Flight Deck, and above that, the Superstructure, did I realise how BIG, this Ship really is. One other thing, I know how big the Flight Deck is (as i've walked it, Twice ! LOL) but them Pilots sure have my admiration for having the Cahonies to land on it, when it's Pitching and Rolling. God-Speed to All who Serve and Sail Aboard.
We arrived in Alameda Nov 1990 2 days before Thanksgiving. It was cold. I remember manning the rails. I remember commissioning day. It was cold then too.
USA the greatest country in the world, I am a retired U.S. Army Infantryman / paratrooper with the 82d ABN DIV, 20 yrs of service, disabled veteran, 22 surgeries, will fight again for my country at all cost.
I was on USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN CVN 72. WAS A great ship.
Charles Smith is* is a great ship*
Charles Smith Me too! I was among the first group who made Chief after our commissioning 11-11-89! I served 2 yrs and transferred while we were in the Persian Gulf/Desert Storm. It was Operation Fiery Vigil when Mt. Pinatubo erupted and it 4500 dependents not 45,000 that we evacuated from Subic to Cebu. It wasn’t always easy but alike you, very proud to have served on her.
@@Halo9K I was there too! Remember all the pets we evacuated and kept in the hangar bay? I remember giving up pillows and racks for dependents. And, Subic was a mess with all that ash... I was an AT2 with VAQ-135. After coming off of the aging Enterprise, the USS Lincoln was a Cadillac!!
cw guy Those were pretty interesting days and you are right. She is still a great ship! That was a long time ago, but seems like yesterday in many ways. Hope you’re doing well, shipmate.
I know I’m late but my father served on the USS Thomas S. Gates and USS Oak Hill. Glad to hear she’s up and running again👍🏽😁
these machines are awe inspiring...
Thanks to CBS for a great story! Go NAVY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MISSIONS!
What a beautiful thing to behold. USS Lexington was home ported in Pensacola Florida. What a beautiful thing.
Proud. Patriotic. Dedicated. Loyal. Everything that the mainstream media is not.
I was honored to serve her December 1993 til July 1995 went on Westpac cruise some of the best time of my life my uncle served on the USS Ranger CV 61 would not have any regrets
Wow, beautiful ship and what human stories behind these behemoths. And no other nation has successfully built 1 ship of this calibre. only the French has come close...with Charles De Galle. All other aircraft carriers are simply put no match for America's mind boggling and elegant super carriers. I am in love with the US, the people are kind and California is just beautiful.
The Charles De Galle is a terrible ship , from the day it was commissioned , toxic fume leaks , reactor faults , catastrophic prop failings and the starboard shaft and propeller vibration and noise making aft areas unusable .
@@UKOGBN dude, its French ! Mayonnaise anyone?
Really? The U.K. has two new 65,000 tonne ships that don’t need thousands of personnel, the ship has a crew of 1500. It’s fully automated from weapons selection through selecting the perfect position the ship needs to be in to launch its F35’s more effectively. They have full laser communication upload and download links to the Jets and have been made to fit a compliment of 40 Drone jet bombers, 32 F35’s jets from the UK, 32 F35’s from the USMC, not counting choppers and Ospreys.
A true collaboration of both nations.
Without these American aircraft carriers with its heroic sailors and naval aviators during WW2 the history of the world would have been told differently... In 2012 during the aftermath of tsunami that devastated Leyte in the Philippines it was an American carrier that was swift to respond & lent a helping hand to the victims..... In war as in peace these carriers are a great help to humanity.....
Ray Queipo britain invented carriers ....
British are Best HAHA and the Americans have 11 of them extremely modern while Britain is struggling to build 2 xD
British are Best Yeah and yet you people don't even rival us in the Navy anymore.
British are Best yeah, prior to WW2, since then not so much
Actually The British did come out with the first carrier of sorts but it was the Japanese who saw the first real benefits of them,then the Americans learned and away we went,but Americans went for large scale carriers which many other countries could not sustain so in a way the British invented the Escort Carrier and the Americans Invented the Small city Carriers,but to give the British there due they also invented many thing's that are still used on American carriers but just more improved.
Proud to stand there in the yard and watch her underway down river and pass by the Big E (our oldest nuclear carrier) and by the Ford, our newest carrier in the fleet. The pride from my coworkers in this isn't staged, we take these vessels very serious. #merica
Indeed now is time to send the Lincoln back to work and do what it does best defeat ISIS
your a damm idiot lmao
Hylton Vaughan *You are* or *You're*
Careful who you call and idiot when you can't handle 3rd grade vocabulary.
Hylton Vaughan who are you calling an idiot? take back what you said or your post will be deleted and you will be blocked.
I wont take it back,that's exactly what Us government did to president Duterte,when he exposed them as hypocrites,they with held their add.Do you really think i care about being blocked.
Welcome back Abe
God bless HER.
Damn, the Lincoln is still going to sea?
Everyone has a memory of one big beautiful thing
Simply AMAZING WOWWWWWWWWW
I was USN from 74-81 and served onboard the USS Independence, CV-62 and remember seeing her for the first time in Napoli, Italy. It was anchored 2 miles away and it looked big and as the liberty boat go closer and closer she got bigger and bigger and bigger. I was ships company and she was my home for 3 1/2 years. Times have changed, today people respect our military.
friend in north island's son played little league with the captain's son - got to take the team tour, which had some "captain's bonus points" such as sitting in the captain's chair in the war room; amidst the quiet bustle, a sobering moment.
the professionalism of the Navy, compared to say the 70s or even the 90s, the training, personnel, the ships and hardware, is an impressive achievement by any standard. Kudos to Captain Ronald Ravelo.
It's like the print edition of the old Sunday New York Times; you might not need it all, but it's nice to know it's there.
We love you we all support you Great navy ❤️🇺🇸💪
CVN-72 "Shall not perish". Good to see it back on the open seas.
"Fair seas and following winds" my friend.
Proud to have served aboard the Abe during this overhaul process. Even more so to see her back in action. #WeAre72
ty all who who have been a part of this ship, may she always sail true and bring her crew home
FINALLY!
I miss that ship
master Pan
I was onboard on the Lincoln, during Tsunami.
I was as well.
Andrew Lucero thank you both.
So was my husband. He is looking to reconnect with his shipmates.
Thank you sir
I'm a Plankowner. Did her first two deployments. Mt. PINATUBO!
ready💕
I like ship uss Abraham Lincoln still the best , cool air grafiter uss Abram Iincoln , I like carrier Abraham Lincoln , tank you very much
This is cool. Me being a shipyard worker and a navy veteran, this gives people insight in what happens to these ships while they're being repaired.
That ship has more residents than the town I live in. That's really something!
No other country will ever surpass America in military strength! Proud to be an American!
I wasn't stationed on the USS Constellation CV-64...it was a Conventional Carrier we did or Yard period in Philadelphia we stayed there for 4 years.
They perform multimillion dollar overhauls to keep shipyard assets active.
My Dad built carriers in the 50’s and 60’s in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I went on a tour of one in about 1960.
My neiphew is now one of the chopper pilots that's a sign to the abraham he makes me and the rest of the family proud and I know my late father that was a recon pilot in WW2.
I found it providence that I served on CVN 72 and was born in 1972
Zaid Holl ---1972 is also the year the Miami Dolphins won every football game And the Supet Bowl! No team has Ever done that. Cheers,
Back on the job🇺🇸
Seeing some of your ships in Portsmouth England off shore it's amazing .city of 5000 people. And when needed you help to patrol the world as peace makers.but warm if you have.i thank the crew on your ships .let's hope we can have peace.from.a Englishman age 75 yrs old .I salute you all mike mcgarity england
I was on the Lincoln for the last 1 1/2 years of RCOH, and I took it on the first deployment after the yards. It was a good ship with a good crew, and for the most part we had good leadership. This ship would not have gotten done as quick as it did without the guidance and leadership of Capt. Scott Tasin. he was the Reactor Officer, and I never heard a single of the ~500 people who worked for him say a bad thing about him. #ATFB
we around the free world love you. us carriers from ww2 to now and the future will always be welcome in or ports. god bless.
When it comes to military technology, US is the best hands up....mad respect
One day I will be here in The Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier as a mariner
There's no way indeed like the american way. Hope its still the same for many times to come the world needs a stronger america
My dad was on The Lincoln and helped with the Tsunami
Served on it myself sea to shore carrier airwing 11, battle gruope fox trot, VFA 22 was planecapt /amsmech/training to be truobleshooter days after ops desert storm
Weps Dept. Plankowner
Hope our love of carriers does not blind us to the realities of modern missile warfare, and we have countermeasures in place to protect these crews.
They're CHARTS not maps. And you can bet they still have paper charts on board and still use them.
@Steve Koch Yep, maps are for land, charts are for water. 😁
0:47 amazing how all of that heavy metal can actually float simply by the water it displaces. wow buoyancy is fascinating.
The USA baby!
I'm always going to regret not being able to go when the commissioned the Lincoln. They didn't have a female escort for me and it still is such a let down to ha e missed it. But proud to see it stand the test of time. So proud.
BasketBall falls off the deck. Captain: “that was our only ball” 😭😭😭
top gun
2019 These are Real True American heroes God Bless
the USA NAVY.
Sea doggs forever !!!
What happened in Afghanistan searching mercy
Damn I miss the Navy.
Now John Bolton is sending this valuable USA navy asset in range of Iran's missiles in Persian Gulf
Arrrr, The “Black Pearl” lives again lol
Navsta Everett 08-10’.
Great Americans!
The captain is a FIL-AM makes me proud!
AO,s make the earth move!
CVN 72
My GodFather Work in the US Navy on USS Abraham Lincoln.
Nimitz carriers could in theory be RCOH'd twice though this is not envisaged.
We might need to do that to keep our CVN force up to 12 in the near future.
During war and peace, or during times of crisis or disasters, and when the US need to respond immediately, the US would always ask,”where are our aircraft carriers? “ They are always been our quick response team! 👍
2:37 lol wthe way that girl stared
how many battles has it been in
Do the all planes have to get flown onto the carrier, or do they get lifted on?
They fly out to the carrier when she deploys
This is a true extension of global power. No other country has a fraction of the aircraft carriers we maintain. These are critical to our ability to maintain freedom for ourselves and for the world. Makes me proud to be an American!
Snappiest Salute
to Filipino American Ravelo❤
There is always money for the weapons of war but never for the men who fight the wars. You know, once they return home and need help.
Pres.Trump is fixing that.
they better priotize their weapons for the invasion
I guess that’s karma for fighting a useless war just for money. No one enters the military except for the benefits. Signing your life away is serious. You basically are an object at that point... a tool. When tools aren’t needed anymore, they’re discarded.
@@MSNBCensorship you went to battle for your country right?
@@MSNBCensorship just curious where your loyalty stands. We (I) don't didn't fight for a rich man or a poor one. It is to preserve the ideals that the United States of America was established on. Usa my home greatest place on earth.
A naval station...that's our LARGEST station.
PERSIAN GULF GULF PERSIAN😍😍😍😍😍
I fully support the U.S. NAVY !!! I still think there has to be a human being in control of the ship !!! I wonder why there have been so many accidents involving navy ships and large shipping containers....????🎄🎅😔
We need a few battle ships
That ship is huge at 100 thousand tons but what is even crazier is the new mega cruise liners. They weight in at almost 200 thousand tons. Twice as heavy.
Erik 567
How come they float ?
Las Vegas Valley Accountability Watch because they displace more water then they weigh...
"Pride" is in virtually every individual who serves in our dearly beloved United States Navy. Some of our younger sailors may take a bit of time to develop pride in their Navy. But, virtually every sailor and every young officer who will ever wear the uniform will, sooner or later, develop pride in our Navy. My late father was a Navy doctor. My brother served as a Navy chaplain. Andrew "Andy" McKane IV, former hospital corpsman, United States Navy, 1970-1971.
25 years of new service is a bargain for 4 billion. New Ford class carrier has 1 launched and 2 under construction now.
Cal Crappie erm really? The U.K. built 2 carriers for 3 billion 50year service life still seem cheap?
Go get them Abe! Time to tell ISIS don't mess with the Lincoln!
Dude y are american choppers flying Isis fighters from Syria to unknown locations...maybe their taken on board of the lincoln.
Hylton Vaughan lol
Hylton Vaughan
USS Abraham Lincoln had just finished her RCOH and not yet sailing in Mediterranean. CHILL DUDE!
Isis is a product of the CIA.
That is almost half the cost of a new one!
Way to go CBS you got the weight wrong
@3:20, “Conceivably, one of their sons or daughters, will be a member of the last crew of this ship, 25 years from now. That’s how much life we’re putting back in: it’s another generation of sailors, maybe two.”
1991!!! I was there. They FORGOT MT. PINATUBO!!
Her highlighter is poppin
Change your course by 15 degrees
God bless! 🇺🇸
Largest warship in the world very vulnerable to hypersonic missile attack - especially if navigated in confined areas very close to land based hostile entities. Keep her activitees in safe waters plz.
What does noon thousand ton ship mean?
