A Starbucks? From what I read about the navy, this sounds about right.

My grandfather was 1st Lieutenant on the Bunker Hill. A lot less creature comforts on a carrier back then, but still the challenges of keeping a floating small town running.

A Nimitz class carrier has a compliment of over 6,000 sailors including the personnel for the air wing.

I'm an old Army guy (enlisted,with encouragement from my draft board,in 1969) who loves to watch the many youtube videos showing operations on a carrier's flight deck.But not many that I've found show what goes on below decks.

I learned to cut hair on the ship (USS Tripoli LPH-10)because the Squid barbers purposely screwed up Marine hair cuts.

OK, Listen up "ground pounders":
Most sailors have two "jobs." One is their vocation, like barbering, the other is some kind of "fighting the ship." By that I mean manning (sorry snowflakes) a gun, torpedo or missile, standing by to do fire fighting, standing watches, the list is long. And often dangerous.
