Not sure the female deckhands are up to it.

Hope it doesn’t bump into anything (you gotta be a certain age).

Poor man. That accident must have been frightening. I’m glad he was ok.

Isn’t it great that they put a 5 foot female in charge of hooking up a 6 ft tall fuel opening? Women should not be on any ship.... Pathetic.

As long as there’s a man there to help her she can do the job. There is a lot of that going on in this video.

It’s one huge target.

Titanic, Yamato, Bismark... “unsinkable” ships have a bad record...

I don’t believe it’s actually any longer than the others.

This one is just more advanced, in some ways.

They can be refitted for space flight, though:

Yes. He had his difficulties but he was a decent man who loved his country and served it humbly and loyally.

This pathetic foolishness will eventually be the immediate cause of death of large numbers of Americans, both military and civilian. My prayer is that the fatalities will include the bass-turd politicians who are responsible for it. It’s a sickening spectacle and President Trump should END IT IMMEDIATELY!

So they have a machine gun on it, if find this odd. Why in the world would they want any potential enemy to get close enough to use a machine gun? And if an enemy vessel did come that close, why would they want to piss around with something that small?

I’m in agreement with others remarks about it being another Titanic.

Bismarck and Yamato were attacked and sunk in wartime.

The Titanic sinking was accidental. Lusitania, however....

Please don’t tell me that was real with the midget apparently fueling an aircraft and she is on duty for real flight operations!!! The concern is not necessarily that she is female but for god sakes she needs a step stool and other sailors! I was not Navy, but I can only assume bad things will happen on a flight deck from assigning tasks to those who are physically incapable on such a complex warship.

She isn’t big enough to do the job. She needs to be removed from the flight deck and assigned to a desk-type job.

No visible steam on catapults - are those the electro mag cats?

Electro mag on both cats and arresting gear. Only steam on the ship is for driving the turbines for propulsion.

Everything is new on this ship except the basic hull design.
