This ad popped up in Oslo, in anticipation of 4000 sailors and shore leave.Awesome. While there, it should be given the Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously.
I still remember how they made fun of Ford because of his tripping somewhere. He was the kind of Republican that Democrats liked , someone who only offered weak opposition to them.
Nice video. I enjoyed it. My dad was on a carrier in WWII. The FDR. They had just left NY Harbor and the war ended. He was the helmsman and 17 years old. Imagine that!
Thank you!
VERY nice.
Oslo... as in Norway’s Oslo??
Thanks for posting, interesting video. Looks like the Norwegian public enjoyed the vessel’s arrival also.
Imagine seeing the Ford sailing up the fjord.
That thing is truly awesome .. thanks for posting!
Another bit of proof that, no, all cultures are not equal.
The video must be CGI. Nowhere to be seen were the Rainbow Colors! (sarcasm)
Read the headline too fast… wondered how they got an aircraft carrier onto Lake Erie 😂
This ad popped up in Oslo, in anticipation of 4000 sailors and shore leave.Hmmm, is it on the way to the Ukraine?
The election of 1976 was rigged!
Our Fighter Jets have the sound of Freedom and our AC Carriers have the look of Freedom.
Thanks, devane617! It did make me feel proud :-)
Magnificent ship! When I lived in Alaska a Nimitz class CVN sailed into Cook Inlet. Those are HUGE boats.
It doesn’t look much different because of the sheer scale of a flattop but the GRF is radically different than carriers that preceded it because they moved the island back 140 feet and three feet closer to the edge of the deck.
This gives enough extra aircraft parking space between the island and the flight deck that the ship needs one fewer elevators.
Add that to the fact that the magnetic catapult “reloads” quicker, is smaller and needs less maintenance than a steam catapult, and the GRF can conduct 25% more launches per day with 25% fewer crewmen.
