USS Nimitz View Of Carriers Closing In On North Korea 

My son is serving on the Nimitz. Very proud of him and all the vets that are protecting this country. Thank you all who have served

The last carrier my father was on... He was on it on 1986 and gone for a year... he served almost 21 years.

I’m currently serving on board this mighty carrier

Greetings to the US Navy from Australia. Thank you for your service and protection. We sleep well.

As a young man I was in the Marine Corps. As a old man and uncle of a sailor on the Nimitz I was fortunate to have taken a 4 day 'Tiger Cruise' on the Nimitz in, I think, 1998 or 99. It made me wish I had joined the Navy. Sailors are badass too. I loved it. Two of my sons joined the Navy. One made it and one passed away before he made it to boot camp. North Korea better stand down.

Hopefully they won't be caught in a freak lightening storm and end up fighting Japanese Zeros again...like that one time 😳

There's always that guy standing in the rear of the bridge, with the "ear cans" and he's always got a mustache!😂

The air power in this US Naval battle group is more powerful than most nations entire Air Forces .

WOW, Awesome. I knew there were three carrier groups headed there but I had no idea they would be in such tight formation. Quite a sight. An awesome display of power Feels good to be a Veteran

I was on the USS Eisenhower CVN-69 for three years, our Navy and our Aircraft Carries are just plan Awesome. Totally Bad Ass.

Deployment 2017, remember hauling ass from where we were to get there. Go Reactor Dept for turning those screws hard to get there. Called Nimitz home for 8 years.

USS Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she has been operating all over the world for 42 years. USS Nimitz is still in the front line, and strong enough to eradicate North Korea. It`s an amazing worship.

I bet seeing that from land would be one hell of a sight

3:25, that aircraft carrier in the background, that’s the USS Theodore Rosevelt, I just saw it in San Deigo docked at port.

As a child in the 1980s I was able to get on the USS Kitty hawk during San Francisco Fleet week. They allowed us on the bridge and was asked by a Sailor if I wanted to sit in the Captains Seat. I remember being in utter amazement looking out those massive windows surrounded by buttons and levers. I was too young to understand the privilege being given in the moment. I recall the saoilors being so friendly and helpful it was an amazing experience.

Nimitz museum right here in Fredericksburg, Texas. Beautiful. Please check out their FB page.

Wait !- that oil painting shows the admiral SMOKING !

Nice video. As a child, I attended 6th grade at the Chester W. Nimitz elementary school at Pearl Harbor. My father served aboard an APA in the Pacific during WWII, and later in submarines in the 1950s to 1961. I served as a hospital corpsman, 1970-1971. My brother later served as a chaplain for four years. More often than not, I can be found wearing NAVY and USNA t-shirts (although I'm not a graduate of the Naval Academy). We McKanes dearly love the United States Navy. Go Navy and see the world! Thanks for posting this video.

Also in the video JS Ise (DDH-182), a Hyūga-class helicopter destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force

thank you US Navy

The only thing that would make this better would be to see Tomcats still on the carrier deck ready to go. Anytime baby.

One thing to keep in mind is that this is a dog and pony show, with the ships lined up impressively close and rigidly in formation with each other. This was done purely as a PR stunt, just as a cool demonstration of this incredible international teamwork. There is a very rare photograph on line somewhere of all four Iowa class battleships together, off the Virginia coast. The only time all four were ever together. This will almost definitely be the only time three Nimitz's will ever be together, so document it for posterity.

I call your nuke.... and raise you a 1000

My FAVORITE ship i was in CAG 8 with VA-35 from 1977 to 1982 unless you've been on her you wouldn't understand her capability.....Living in Taiwan now nice to know she is off our coast!!!!!

The water is so calm and the crew at the helm were calm as a table top. True professionals indeed.

Glad to see that the Nimitz has finally left Bremerton. When I moved from there in Oct 2016 they were doing extensive repairs. Going to be a sad day when they retire her.

I served on board her 84 thru 87 road her around South America man you talk about a trip watching her roll and heav like a small boy

It gives me shivers to see this mighty show of force . If the US is on our side who can harm us . God Bless USA .

I was newly assigned to the USS Kitty Hawk in the Persian Gulf back in 1993 when we were relieved by the USS Nimitz. The Nimitz was bigger than our carrier and nuclear powered but the Kitty Hawk was still a kick ass carrier and got the job done. We just wouldn't sleep much, always working on the flight deck.

Quite a busy place, on the bridge...I love to watch that movie "final countdown"!

NAVY.None better on the planet.i was privaled and proud to serve under her.

Goodluck out there,stay safe.

I am curious why the CO and the Officer of the Bridge are look off the port side at the other craft? It did not look like anyone on the bridge was facing and looking over the bow. Was it to maintain spacing and speed? The helmsman seemed to be doing a lot of see-sawing. I love watching operations like that, orderly, efficient, and professionally well done.

I remember when Nimitz was the newer carrier in the fleet....man I’m gettin old lol

I love the movie The Final Countdown.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

So young. Proud of them.

How can you avoid confusion when there are so many people on the Bridge?

Things sure have changed! I was a helmsman/leehelmsman (50%/50%) at sea. We had a big ass wooden rimmed brass wheel and separate controls for each engine order on the engine order telegraph. The way that guy is turning the wheel back and forth doesn't make any sense to me. Ex-TM2 USS Piedmont AD-17, Uss Dixon AS-37 USN 68-72.

Can’t wait to be an officer on this beauty🇺🇸

there are a lot on the bridge, when I was on the USS curts: Boatsans mate of the watch, quarter master, officer of the deck, conning officer and helm, and lookouts port and starboard

Damn that's allot of fire power.

Why is that dude turning that wheel like he’s in Tokyo drift ?

Why is the guy steering the Aircraft carrier at the beginning of the video turning back and forth so fast. It's such a large ship that it doesn't effect it that much. Is there Anybody that can help me answer my question?

How Brave US NAVY proud of you Salute you soldiers Well Done

ONE powerful ship. great views too..that's one statement. send him straight to hell exercises or not ..excellent job..thank you

Damm , seeing huge fleets sailing is awesome

"..Hey Bill." "Yeah George?" "There's a whole lot of asswhoopin' going that direction." "Well, George, when you've a lot of grass to cut why use one mower?" *Continues fishing*

Would appreciate some hindsight as how the steering is oragnized... if anyone know pls share.

History coming alive . . . thanx ! What a tradition . . . 🇺🇸

Great and Powerful disposition

Gigantic floating target. With six thousand on board. You know kim is going to give it a shot.

Why does the helmsman have to move the wheel so much?

I steamed with the Eisenhower. Always glad to have it around.

I saw a video 12 to 18 months ago that was longer in duration but had this six+ minutes of video, I am curious if you have that longer video? It is an impressive video, both that one and this one as well. Nice job.

Your channel should be DANGER MINDS Awesome stuff!

I believe this is classified as a Freedom Of Navigation (FON) exercise which serves multiple purposes in the current international climate.

if you Use the control tower as reference to the sea, you can see the carrier moving up and down with the waves.

Wow.. They look happy in their roles.

What a wonderful way to make your day. Closing in on another country with enough fire power to start a nice little war.

GREAT VIDEO !!!

Love my USN....MA2!!

Thank u for those serving.

Iam from Indonesian, Verry like see about USS nimitz, Verry big, Verry strong,i have knowledge about Admiral nimitz,hero from world war in fasifik ,if sir have portrait from USS nimitz ,please send me one pct,thank , great

Right about now im thinking that in the near future theres gonna be an exchange between some high ranking U.S. and DPRK officials, where the U.S. official is gonna say, ''We want our fucking boat back''....(the USS Pueblo, still commissioned, still sitting in a river on display since Vietnam like a trophy in Pyonyang)

This is why I'm proud to be an American because we are kicking ass on a daily basis

What Re all the rpm call outs for.?

Back in 1992-93 in my former self while on deployment on USS Ranger CV-61, during Operation Southern Watch, we pulled out of the Gulf and went off the coast of Somalia for show of force. I was working in the hanger bay (V-3) and the morning we awoke to arriving there. Imagine this large carrier off the coast and showing its force. Very impressive. I was part of history. Yea part of the team which was on board. Now fast forward to this show of force in 2017. You cannot phatom the show of force here. It just blew me away. This brought up a point of a Law that can apply to show of force, even though the law was for computers. The value of your network Squared. In this case if you have one Carrier squared, it equals = 1 Carrier. If you have two Carriers squared = 4 Carriers. If you have 3 Carriers squared = 9 Carriers. So in the show of force for this operation taking all the aircraft all the missiles on site with the other ships supporting and protecting the Carriers, you really do not want to mess with the USA.

When you see these huge war ships up close it sends shivers down your spine knowing what they are capable of - these things can bring down whole countries without having to put men on the ground - that is one hell of a frightening thought - god bless the navy

I’ll be on the Nimitz for the tiger cruise December 5th - 10th can’t wait

Nimitz and Spruance are buried next to each other in Golden Gate National Cemetery. About 1 mile as the crow flies from SFO. South San Francisco.

wait is he steering the carrier or thinking he is in need for speed?!

Truman CVN-75 represent!! Glad our Pacific buddies are holding it down ;-)

Probably some strength under the water also

Sailed alongside the Nimitz many times during deployment.

We love you usa. From south Korea

From a historical perspective and hoping all military personnel will check out the biography of Admiral Chester Nimitz one of the greatest of all United States military leaders.

Very proud of your men. SIR very powerful and Beautiful Sign of Freedom and strength

My freind was a parachute rigger on the Nimitz 1989

🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍thanks very much for all service men and women ☝️☝️☝️☝️

Our NAVY is #1

So thats where Ronal Regan was.. She left the yokosuka nava, base a few weeks ago so i was wondering

Is that Izumo at 4:55?

I'm the captain I have a chair, you lot can stand up for your whole shift.

Why is the helmsman constantly fiddling with the wheel?

2:17 HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKET SHIPMATE!!

Were you stationed on board the Nimitz and don't know how to get from the O3 level to the flight deck or not know how to get to vulture row which is about the 06 level which is on the island? Amazing, we used to FLY even in heavy seas and high winds.

Question, calm seas, barely moving forward, why the hell was he constantly turning that tiny steering wheel back and forth like a speedboat pushing 80 knots on choppy water????? What was the constant calling out 5.2, 5.0 5. Something rpi non stop?

Anchors Away!! Go Navy!!

Wow, that is one crowded bridge!

that's a whole lotta firepower

Murica!

God Bless our sailors.

nothing says you are about to have your ass handed to you quite like a carrier group. magnificent!

MUCH RESPECT TO USN! Ed Victory- USAF.

There are no people to be seen on any of the ships except for the bridge of the Nimitz. The quiet before the storm.

Scary sight

Who's the man with no eyes sitting in front row? Captain?

Now that is a modern day armada, Talk about projecting force! Thank you for your service sailors. As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m so thankful that we have yourg men and women protecting our six. As for the 81 North Koreans who gave this video a thumbs down, bugger off.

Where is the change from knots to rpms?

Kim Jing-Un was probably saying by then, "Guys, guys, I was just kidding. Come on in for some margarettas. I will let you come with my Soviet tank."
