Out of all the carrier documentaries I've seen, this one stands out as the best. The cinematography is simply outstanding, and the story is incredibly compelling.
-
That thumbnail speaks volumes as to the legitimacy of this video. A super carrier with the island in the middle of the flight deck. Priceless.

I'm so sick and tired of these videos that only show the aviation side of an Aircraft Carrier. I was on the USS Forrestal for 3 cruises (the last 3 cruises) and ships crew was about 3200 and the airwing was only about 2000. If it wasn't for the ship's crew the airwing couldn't do their job yet none of these video show anything about what the black shoes do to support the airwing like make water, make electricity, take care of sewage, provide medical and dental care, resupply food, provide the cctv system for entertainment, etc, etc, etc. I earned my Surface Warfare qualification on the carrier and people would be blown away at just the engineering part of operating an aircraft carrier let alone everything else I needed to learn about.

Amazing video... brought me back to 1991 when I had the privilege to spend 4 days on the USS Forrestal in the Mediterranean is a civilian aviation photographer. An experience I will never forget and neither the amount of admiration I gained for these men and later women spending months at sea defending our freedoms. I will always admire them and the people who designed and built these marvels of engineering...

Amazing video, well done to all involved. I did 4 RIMPAC when I was in the Australian Navy. My 1st was in 77 on HMAS Melbourne CV 21, the other 3 on Destroyers DE's. This video brought back many memories and it also shocked me at how far technology has advanced. To all.... Fair winds and safe seas. ❤⚓

'Daddy, now that you're home, here's your to do list.' I really got a kick out of that one!!!
-
When that battleship rolls over and sinks, I couldn't help but think of the thousands of crew that died right then. It's terrifying,
-

Thank you for sharing these beautyful great videos. Blessings to you and your family always from Puerto Rico with lot's of love 🙏👍

Love the triple hull on that battleship
-
So many videos about nowdays to find ones like these are Gold
-
Some of the best times I had in the RCN were on RIMPAC 88
-
Beautiful production 👏🏽 While I know much of this information, the production value alone had me locked it. Great video! Thanks!!!
-
Awesome video thanks for sharing!
-
Some of these guys are right, I’d Locke to see more below deck stuff! The reactor making fresh water and just all the other things that are done and maintained to keep the ship moving!!!
-
amazing cinematography🤩
-
Inviting CCP to RIMPAC was a truly self-defeating idea. I'm happy they have been finally kicked out, hope it was not too late.
-
You show me a WW1 biplane that has anything that even looks remotely close to a M61A2 rotary cannon!!! It's amazing how they get people to do these documentaries that don't have the slightest idea what they're even talking about!!!
-
A great narration at the start to honour a great carrier.
-
@jettron1 100%…. Thank you for your service….. Amen.

FYI this film is years old. This channel somehow got their hands on it and posted it.
