Newport News Shipbuilding Aircraft Carrier Update: March 2024 

Thanks to all of our ship builders. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Two Aircraft Carriers named Enterprise in one video. That was a treat! CVN-65 Enterprise next to CVN-79 JFK and CVN-80 Enterprise under construction. HELL, YEAH!!!

From an old Navy vet, God bless all of you men and women who work so hard to produce these fine ships.

Worked as a chemist from two weeks after graduation in 1971 until 1990. Did sea trials on the Nimitz. Great job.

I worked on Nimitz class Carriers for 10 of my 27 years at PSNS. Deadload days were always my favorite days. I was always assigned to the 03 level and above, so it was easy for me and my partner to park ourselves somewhere on the island to watch. One time, we managed to "need" to go up to the masthead for a lighting repair. That was the best!

God bless our ship builders for all that they do day in and day out. Your dedication and craftsmanship are next to none. GOD Bless you each and everyone of you. 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏

These guys are absolutely smashing these projects and deadlines. I’m jealous I can’t watch one be build from scratch day to day.

My time working on the 79 was a blast.

I'm so proud of the Navy naming a ship after Doris Miller. A true hero. God bless you sir. ♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏 🫡 🇺🇸

I LOVE hearing from the workers. Thank you for the great work you do!

It's jaw-dropping to see two Ford class are being built side by side, one Ford is testing EMALS dead load test, and a Nimitz in maintenance. Wow!

Many years ago I stood next to the SSBN USS Newport News and watched her slide down the ramp into the water Fantastic launch I'll always remember

Watching this makes me proud to be an American citizen. In a world of bad news everyday it’s good to see American talent working hard to make us safer and doing things and building systems that are unparalleled in the world. Keep up the good work.

Dang, I spent some time in one of those drydocks on USS Nimitz. God bless the American Shipyard Workers and Riggers! AMEN

We have had an Enterprise in our Navy since the revolution, the original was a 16 gun sloop of war that vanished with all hands....

I thought they changed the name. Glad to see that it's still like it has been...amazing all the way from start to finish! Old man named Mr. LaRue taught me welding at TCC around 1986. He was a 42 yr. Veteran of this if I recall correctly. Wish I had joined the yards many many times.

I worked in the Machine Shops Division from 71-74 while we were building the Nimitz, South Carolina, California, and Los Angeles....G. Edwards

It’s always amazing working here.

You people are nothing short of spectacular! I am so proud of you.

Good bless to all shipfitter. Best of glory

That's some pretty cool stuff right there! I kinda wish I would've chosen a career in ship building rather than my current line of work.

Use to jet blast the boilers tunes great job go.on ships up and down on the east coast awesome food

Let history never forget the name of Enterprise

I visited this place decades ago.

They can build two of these Titans at Once? 😮 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Enterprise will be 18 months behind schedule

I love these videos. She's a "Structural Engineer" and she probably has more education than 97% of the people who will ever operate on that ship. Hats off to you!

Newport News wasn't satisfied skipping rocks - they decided to skip multi-ton orange sleds!

We need a major modern shipbuilder in the Great Lakes. PS - Don't speak of LCS

How are the dead sleds recovered

I get its historical value as a museum piece, but should drydock resources be used at this critical period when the US Navy is facing 2 possible conflicts.

Enterprise 🖖

Amazing to see, but with everything going on, it worries me that we have such vital capabilities so centralized, look at NNS and Electric boat, I'm assuming during wartime everything would be decentralized?

Return of the gray ghost ❤. CVN80

I assume the blurred out parts of CVN-80 are classified?

NCC-1701

''earth the modern world, these are the continuing voyages of the warship..ENTERPRISE her ongoing mission to explore strange new challenges, to seek out new enemies and free civilizations to boldly go where no one has gone before''.

Come on cvn 80

why Dorris Miller? i know his story but there are much better names to call a carrier Kitty Hawk Yorktown Lexington ect ect

They do retrieve those dead weights, don't they ?

would be better w/o the overbearing sound track. you're building an aircraft carrier, not making a movie.

Hiiiiii

The original was spelled with a "Z" instead of an "S" ...

I love following the carrier build program but everyone sounds so scripted and indoctrinated into corporate speak it becomes suspicious.

now the steel is supplied by japan

Defend the interests of the ultra rich 1%.

First

Please make a separate video for the patriotic banter and stick to the updates.

this is so wok it's hard to watch so sad

All this money spent on defense and were still being invaded without firing a shot

Cool but what a phony bologna marketing video probably pushed by the current admin.

Freedom Builders 🫡 🇺🇸

I am from Westmoreland County, Va where George Washington was born and grew up about 4 miles from his Birthplace. I was an AZ2 assigned to the HS-11 Dragon Slayers, on my 2nd deployment in the Navy which was the 3rd deployment of the GW. So to be onboard a ship named after our nation's 1st President who is from my home county was a very awesome experience. '97/'98. A few years later, my brother did a deplyment onboard the GW with the HS-5 Nightdippers. My 3rd and 4th deployments were onboard the U.S.S. Harry S. Truman while I was assigned to the HS-7 Dusty Dogs. '02/'03 & '04/'05. And I did a two week deploment onboard the Stennis with HS-7.
