Life Inside Billion $ US Amphibious Assault Ships in Middle of the Ocean 

It was the dumping ground for officers many moons ago. Amphibs and replenishment ships.

Unnecessary death! Yes a hero! But if there is no idea of wars, he could have done much much more. He must be a hero for the colleagues he saved for being humbled by his selfless act which I hope in turn would start to help them learn the stupidity of wars.

Total waste of money

@@billmoyer3254 What do you mean? Soon to retire Officers were sent to Amphibs? And if so, why?

@@milaong9618 No one sane wants war, but you also have to be prepared for it. Truth of the matter is, these men would rather not fight a war, but they're willing too if it means they can protect their loved ones and their rights, and secure their livelihood through a (mostly) consistent way of life. You're naive if you think these men all want for war, or think it's some great thing...

Not to mention "Hot Racking". When I was a non-rate that was hell on earth

Look how seamless they get back on ship. I remember my Amtrak driver taking several attempts in high seas trying to get back on the ship. Nothing worse than being in that steel can struggling to get back on board.

@user-qr8gs8jf1tut the hell up you bot smh

Well there's a fundamental difference; at the end of the day a carriers primary role is to project, establish and maintain air superiority. All the aircraft on an amphibious assault ship however are there as support for infantry and other ground units.

@@PotatoeJoe69 sure sure. Leave the carrier group to establish off shore security, but the amphib can use it's own attack forces.

This isn't a supercarrier. We have already had supercarriers for a long time. The Ford class won't really be bigger than the Nimitz class. It is still very impressive though...

There should be a EU military force hence non EU states would have no say.

My ex wife was on LHA 5 Peleliu. I went on the ship many times. I went on it many times It was a rust pit. I also went on the USS Kitty Hawk. Only two navy ships i have been on.

Was on USS Tarawa from 1992-1995, great times on the Eagle of the Sea!

The concept of Marines goes all the way back to the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans.

LPD-12 USS Shreveport mid '70's also (Atlantic Fleet). Attended basic/school in SDiego . Worst time was drydock for complete repair and overhaul for over a year.

May God destroy America

An evil army

The United States is an evil country. After World War II, it launched the Vietnam War, used chemical agents in the war, conducted nuclear tests on the Marshall Islands, and provoked wars around the world, such as Afghanistan, Iraq, and the ongoing Russian Ukrainian war. All American soldiers are sinners of war, and they will be judged in hell after death

global military hegemony doesn't exactly have God's blessing.

I've also spent some time on the America, but as a Marine.

Hello

How many of these amphibious assault ships with f-35s do we currently have deployed or ready to deploy. Seems like they were great before. But now with 2 dozen 35's parked outside they are damn near unstoppable. I knew we have what is it 11 carriers. I had no idea these ships were so badass. Do they travel with strike groups like carriers do?

Was on that boat as well in 2018. Some great times and some really not so great times. She’ll always hold a place in my heart though ❤️

not many can say that. serving isnt always a cake walk.

​@@davegordon6943Do you guys talk about Taiwan much in your missions? i always though the primary focus mission for the big deck amphib crew with so much firepower is to do with Taiwan but i also know Taiwan and the US military have no coordinated training exercises, so it would be crazy to think crews on amphibs prepare for a mission on territory they have no practice on. The US has 2 with 20 f-35B and is building 11 in total but the remaining 9 will have 1/2 1/3rd capacity for f-35b's, the rest will be for marines/landing forces. currently there are 7 amphibs that the US has available right now that can carry around 6 f-35b's each but they are getting replaced. so if all 11 were active that would be close to 100 f-35B and well over 10,000 Marines. Working with AUS forces you're getting to 15,000 soldiers, 100 fighter jets and a score of helicopters. The one major issue is most of this force projection will be for a Taiwan contingency and none of these forces have any training with Taiwan.

Same here Marine on Bataan and Nassau.

I was on the Nassau for 30 days. Part of the 26th MEU. It was a great experience. That was like 97-98.

Two seven month floats as an Air Wing Marine aboard LHA-4 Nassau. She definitely did not have all of the accommodations they show here. This video doesn’t give you a true understanding of life aboard these LHAs/LHDs.

@@brucew7062 yes, as a former Marine it was crazy! Not the biggest ship but I got lost constantly. Just like always we made it a circus and some things I cant discuss here lol. I was standing in the hangar deck next to the elevator watching the sunset when I realized that in Top Gun, Maverick was in the same spot except on a carrier and I had that moment and about that same moment I looked down and realized my brand new pressed fatigues were touching the chains covered in black grease. Ruined my uniform and my moment 🤣🤣🤣

@@chipburns4123 lol 😆

Soldiers would be from the army. There are marines, airmen and seamen.

more bones for the fire

I used load and unload the Belleau Wood in White Beach, when I was stationed at Camp Foster Okinawa.

They were active in ww2

I found your pint of Jack Daniels hidden in some starboard wing wall ductwork on the Saipan. It went down smoothly. 😆

Just as all carriers in the US inventory. “Don’t let them bring the fight to you, bring the fight to them.”

Tools of the Globalist World Order

Naval aveitiors are the best out there barn nune hands down and yes they are crazy let see an airforce pilot land on the pitching deck of a carrier in the dark of night and launch in all kinds of weather. I have the most highest regards for the US airforce an we all like to think our branch was the best. One old salty sailor salutes you and your service to our country

@@deborahrauth7629 crazy is what Naval aviators are, but yea this crazy Airmen salutes you and your service as well. Without the Air Force and the Navy the poor Marines and Army would have a long way to walk!

@@johnwalden7146 lol

Not really. Taiwan and it’s navy reach is so small, there would be no need to have an Amphibious Assault Ship like this. Amphibious Assault Ships are used for things related to beach landings, mobile command bases, etc. You would only use a mobile command base in the center of the ocean so you can have a sort of base there, it would make no sense to place it by an island, because you could just make a physical base there. They need destroyers, corvettes, etc.

No sir. Those are F-35Bs. VSTOL. Replaced the Harrier.

I was 11th MEU in '92/'93 on the Tarawa and Fort Fisher.

I'm a NAVY veteran Plank-owner of the USS Essex LHD-2 and in 1995 the 13 Marine Expeditionary Unit was re directed to Somalia during Operation United Shield. We were tasked with re-taking the Somalia airport from Somali warlords and defending ports perimeter while the United Nations withdrew its people by sea and air. The assault started around 0330, first wave took off around 0430 and by 0700 a thousand Marines where ashore flawlessly conducting their business . No casualties on our side.

It's a joke It's an obsolete concept

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

@@richardlovelace3849 No They are useless Military procurement is a zero sum game That LHD came at the cost of more useful platforms

Ask the ones who don't have ships like these. Our Navy is looking to buy four 20,000 ton LHDs (smaller than the LHAs, but similar enough in role). One of the main reasons is HADR (Humanitarian And Disaster Relief) Ops. The other is amphibious ops to protect island territories in case Chinese try to take them.

If that ever happened we would not have a bunch of sorry ass leaders in congress or the white house It would be God & country Not God & Cash Flow 4 my Campaigns

Korea has mandatory military service for obvious reasons.Their ROC soldiers are no joke either.

I served voluntarily. Draftees were still around and a large percentage resented being uprooted like that. Many were lied to as to their eventual assignments. Drug use was high. My last couple of years in the Navy involved dealing with the negative repercussions of the draft. No one makes a very good slave.

As a Billion $ Amphibious Assault Ship, I don't approve of these camo ants climbing all over acting like they run me!

Not soldiers; Marines. The Corps is part of the Navy....but I'd like to see the MAGA crowd tell the Marines and Sailors how they're "liberal sheep" for wearing Covid19 masks. Second Amendment: Good. NRA: Lunatics. The NRA Jumped the Shark in 1977. They want the "Shall Not Be Infringed" without the "Well Regulated". I can remember going to pre-77 NRA meetings with my dad. At that time, they were talking about ethical outdoorsmanship, hunting and camping and even touched on fishing. They talked about wildlife and conservation. Not ONCE were the Republicans worshiped or the Democrats bashed. A few years later, my dad said, "I took you to those meetings to stress gun-safety. Now gun safety is 'communism' to those idiots." Dad was a Navy SeaBee before becoming a Bellsouth/AT&T lineman. He voted for Reagan and then Reagan busted up AT&T. Dad missed Carter after that.

Could you imagine a U.S. soldier walking in the U.S. with a live rifle? Yeah, its crazy how they don't issue those to soldiers with means of only keeping them in cages for show n' tell. Better yet, its even crazier that civilians can just go up to any gun store shopkeeper with no ID, stupid little FOID card, concealed carry or background check with no state or federal laws whatsoever saying anything about brandishing a firearm in public or stowing it a legal gun safe and just, "buy and walk around with a gun". And the sad part is, that its all barely contained in that brain of yours too.
