@michaelmappin4425 2 года назад

There's a lot to say here. 1) Running over fuel hoses is forbidden regardless of if they are full. 2) Nimitz class ships have fuel stations all over the port side. 3) We have always fueled, maintained and armed in the same spots if time and operations allowed it. 4) We generally try to taxi the aircraft to where that happens and minimize tractor moves. 5) Most of the time, elevators have nothing to do with sortie rate. All aircraft for the day's events are on the flight deck from the night before. We do most elevator traffic on nights.

@lukasausen 2 года назад

but in a war scenario like for example in ww2 japan battle of midway they lost A LOT of time because their fighters were refueling/rearming in the hangar and they lost one of the 2 elevators on the Kaga, leading to catastrofic defeat because of it, but im sure our engineers know what they are doing with the design just some insght on what could happen if the unlikely happens.

@michaelmappin4425 2 года назад

@@lukasausen in those days they didn't have weapons elevators to bring the ordnance to the roof. Modern operations have come a long way. We use the hangar mostly for maintenance, either long or short term. Aircraft that won't be used for the day's flight schedule are sent below. A certain number of aircraft can be parked in positions we call "ready up" so that if something happens on the flight deck to one of the "event" aircraft, we can swap them out, but that isn't the norm. When the day's operations are over, the Handler, the CAG maintenance Chief, the Hangar crew and the flight deck crew all coordinate to move aircraft up/down to get ready for tomorrow. Let's say one of the planes on the flight deck reaches its hours limit. He will then need long term phase maintenance. The goal will be to get him into a hangar deck, "hard bury" spot because he'll be out of the game for a while. Maybe he just needs a quick repair of a faulty hydraulic actuator. A "soft bury" spot might be more appropriate there.

I served onboard the USS Ranger CV-61. During the 1983 deployment. Ranger collided with USNS Wichita. Among other things, the starboard elevator foreword of the island, was badly damaged. The damage was not so obvious to crew members like myself. But afterwards the deck edged lift was WELDED in the up position, and never used again. It wasn't long, until a large aluminum shed was erected on that unused elevator. From 1983 on, Ranger, a Forrestal class carrier. Used only three elevators for the remainder of its service. It's interesting that the new Gerald R. Ford class. Has only three deck edge elevators. Uncertain as to how wise this is. As a student of history, I know why the Forrestal class carriers were designed with 4 elevators. During WW-II, damaged elevators could have a big impact on aircraft service and maintenance. Some things just were not too practical or safe, to do on the flight deck. Some work has to be done in a hangar bay. All too often onboard older carriers. Damaged elevators greatly reduced the ability of the ship to operate, or service aircraft. So today an extra fourth elevator seems redundant. Yet, no hostile forces have managed to damage elevators onboard US Aircraft carriers since WW-II. I do understand why there are three elevators for the future US Navy carriers. We will see how wise this decision has been. As for the first time since WW-II, there is a Naval power potent enough to damage elevators onboard a US Navy aircraft carrier.

@anthony7697 2 года назад

A couple points I feel I have to point out - - Wasp's deck edge elevator: The deck edge elevator had nothing to do with realizing the elevators being stuck down could be an issue, that was a lesson that wasn't learned till much later and adopted in to Essex and Midway class designs that came late/post war. The reason for USS Wasp's unique elevator is the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty. They wanted to squeeze in an extra Yorktown class carrier within the tonnage. In order to do that they had to save tonnage and make it a bit smaller - so in order to have 3 elevators still the deck edge one was put in place in the most minimalist way possible. - Forrestal's Elevators: It had the same issue as the Midway conversions for the same reasons - USS Forrestal and I believe the second of the class were both already under construction as axial deck carriers. Which to those unfamiliar is the name used for the CV's you see from WW2 and before with straight decks. The angle deck was added to the design late, and so while still under construction Forrestal was modified to have an angled deck - but that meant the elevator was at the front of it. For some reason, unlike the Midway conversions, that issue was never addressed (the Midway class CV's that had angled decks installed later had them moved to the back of the angled deck).

@marksauck3399 Год назад

I served on the USS Midway and unlike her sister ships, had an angle deck so big it looked like a wing. Can someone explain that one oddity that no other aircraft carrier ever had. I liked it because it made our ship unique. You’d never mix up the old Midway with any other carrier.

@anthony7697 Год назад

@@marksauck3399 Midway underwent a rebuild in the 60's that lengthened the angle deck among other changes that made it a bit more similar to the John F Kennedy Class (when viewed from above) in terms of base layout and deck shaping. However - in the end doing that cost almost as much as the JFK so it was decided to not make the same change to the sisters, and the look is somewhat more pronounced on Midway because it was an older, smaller carrier that it was all added onto (having been built with a straight deck only originally) it gives it more the look of a huge wing. When you look at Midway bow on from elevation - you can really see the original design and layout but with the big old wing added to it. The reason it wouldn't look as big on the JFK and other carriers - the fact they were bigger ships with those angle decks designed from the start so even when roughly the same size they appear smaller.

It actually makes a ton of sense. Nascar is not purely won on driver skill. It's won through sheer efficiency and luck. You don't know when a tire is going to blow or something, but the efficiency with which you can get the car back on the track is what wins the race. That is definitely a mindset that can be scaled up to carriers. There are other races they should consider looking at for inspiration. Like the 24hr endurance races.

Having been in the Navy and on the first supercarrier (USS Midway) I need to correct your statement that the flight deck is the most dangerous place in the world. According to the Navy ever since WWII more flight deck sailors have died or have been injured in automobile collisions than on the flight deck. (the flight deck is a LOT safer now than it was back then)

@wheels-n-tires1846 Год назад

Thats probably true- but I had an SK1 on my ship that had previously been an aviation rate- until he was tumbled across the deck, missed the net, and went overboard from jet blast, and spent about 9mos recovering from the injuries. To be fair, he obviously did somthing dumb to earn that epic voyage. But still, much admiration to all those flight deck folks who perform and survive that dangerous ballet daily...!!!

@Anthony-jo7up Год назад

Are you related to the general?

@chrisneumann4202 Год назад

I get your point but let's look at this another way. I also served on the Theodore Roosevelt and what you say is true in that more sailors probably have died in auto accidents (I'd be curious what number were NOT alcohol related) but that fact doesn't negate the fact that it is still one of the most dangerous environments to work in. It's never "safe" up on the roof but this danger has been mitigated by 70+ years of angled deck operations and hard lessons learned in blood and death. These lessons, along with constant training, and (let's say it shipmates) 'Attention To Detail' is what makes survivability high, affords relative safety, and incidents low. Comparatively speaking, yes the flight deck is a lot "safer" now, (probably safer than when I was on the TR in the early 90s') but what's missing is the context. You have multiple fixed and rotary aircraft running, jet blasts, intakes and props spinning, fuel everywhere, open hatches, aircraft moving around sometimes inches from each other, live ordinance, huffer hoses to trip over, and people running around. Compound this danger in orders of magnitude at night where an unseen open hatch and shadows will really F with your head. Been there, done that, have the scars to prove it. Or you can be cruising down the road at 75MPH surrounded by airbags and crumple zones. Then the question arises; Which is more Potentially dangerous?

@richinoregon Год назад

@@chrisneumann4202 A little more nuance is probably in order. It isn't the most dangerous place in the world, but it is possibly the most dangerous work environment. The Navy has a great record at making dangerous environments safer. (How many civilian nuclear accidents have you heard of vs. Navy? At least 4 civilian to 0 Navy) One has to keep one's head on a swivel on the flight deck even when flight ops are not in progress. I recall one evening when I was walking from the island to the balloon room, where I was a radiosonde operator, and almost walking off the edge of the flight deck as I was trying to avoid Tilly (the mobile crash crane) while it was being moved.

@chrisneumann4202 Год назад

@@richinoregon You're right in the clarification in that it's the most dangerous work environment. I worked primarily nights on the roof and once walked right into an open deckwell hatch and hit my shin so hard I thought I broke it. Then another time I was carrying a heavy piece of aircraft equipment on my shoulder and walked right into the leading edge of an F/A-18 wing, breaking the bridge of my nose. None of these small incidents were done during flight ops, but they were at night. That's what I meant by shadows messing with your head.
