Thank you so much for this video! I have watched it many times. My dad was in the Navy in WW11, which must be where my love of aircraft comes from. He was also on the flight deck. Dad has been gone over 30 years now, and watching films like this brings back so many memories of him, and it just takes my breath away. Thank you to the men and women out there working to protect us. God be with all of you…..Mary

I spent 1969 and1970 on the KEARSARGE CVS33 on the flight deck and in pri fly it was great WE decommisioned it in long beach in late 1970. IN 1973 I worked on all the carriers at north Island san diego.The new carriers make the old ones look like toys.I loved my time spent onboard.

Spent ’59 – ’60 aboard USS Essex CVA- CVS-9. She looks like a PT Boat next to Stennis and all the newer carriers. I was in E Division and on MAA Force while aboard. I guess we’re shaving with the razor blades made from the ol’ pig iron SOB! Great experience, though.

Having spent time earlier carriers (Saipan, Anteitam, Bennington, Saratoga, Forrestal, Intrepid, Enterprise & Vinson) I fully appreciate aircraft carrier documentations such as this. After serving time on any aircraft carrier, the experience stays in your blood and you feel like you can and still would like to be part of current carrier ops. Each and every time I watch a carrier video, I still have the itch to be on board. Loved carrier duty.

AT3 with VA 176 in 1972. Worked on the A6. Flight deck opps were an adventure. Lot more space now.

Having serviced F4s in the air force (63-67) I’m amazed at how navy jocks can “put-er-down” on the dime. Air force guys always had to have a mile to land whereas navy/marine guys mostly hit the first turn out.
