These suck The holes let in too much water. Literally after 10m of wet grass your feet are soaked.

Thank you for the video

Ha Ha, plenty of space.

Much better than the 3-6 high canvas racks I slept in on my first 3 commands, and the one small locker. CWO4 USN Ret.

Can you take a guitar on the ship?

Looks like the new L racks are lower then the standard ones , when I first got abord CV43 had a bottom rack next to the head , completely sucked. Fortunately after a few months people left and I snagged a middle rack which made life so much easier.

didn't realize tatoos were allowed to the extent you have them on your arm. CTRC ret.

You a size 12 in vans? Or 11.5 in converse? Lol trying to figure out if I should go 12 or 11.5

It.s not an unbox. WTF.

Thanks a lot my friend for your video. I’m a very old Air Force guy, but I love touring Navy ships and watching your videos.

Are these the ones issued in buds? Im trying to train for buds.

Have to say the messdecks on American ships are pretty shocking. Most of the Royal Navy ships I served on the messdecks were pretty good. Plus we had beer

Are they light weight?

I build these berthings for navy vessels and the heads and fan rooms, and galley’s

Wow, way much more than what we had on DD's back in the 70's

my buddy went to an amphib and was talking about the L racks. for some reason i was picturing it like an overhead L shape, but this makes way more sense lmao. we still have the coffin racks

Ack! I thought I saw the last of PHIBLANT 40+ years ago, when finally escaped and went to sub school!!!

I’m getting claustrophobic just looking at that bed

How do you actually sleep? Do you have Navy issued pajamas?

Great video! I served on an old Norwegian frigate in the 90’s. Even though it was an old ship from the 60’s - and the berthing is way more upgraded than what we had on those ships, the overall «vibe» is still the same. Take care and all the best! Cheers!

Better berthing than I had on CV 61,CV 66,CVN 69,CV64 and CV 63.......😃

And that locker beside you at the pull-up bar is hanging storage?

Every submariner be like: “lucky surface fucks…”

Great Video Bro. Remids me of my 3 West Pacs. Was on LHAs though. Keep the content coming lets get some underway stuff

Times have changed,You new sailors got it made.

Very nice...Ritz-Carlton should take note. 😄

Been doing that for years best hack and you get one better wash as well

I spent 5 years on the America in the early 80s and like others have said the racks were 3 high with the same basic under mattress storage and a wall locker, the EEBD was in a holder in the sleeping area by your feet

Big improvement from my rack on the USS Tarawa in '98. We were stacked 4 to 5 high and impossible to sit up. I had only one tiny locker. But i was allowed special dispensation to bring my dive gear with me as my Platoon Sergeant was also my dive buddy. 😊

Hasn’t changed much in 30 years

Are middle racks still the preferred rack in the Navy lol.

Much nicer than what we had on the USS Iowa BB51 in the late 80's.

Sure wasn’t that way in 1967. We didn’t even have air conditioning for the first 2 years I was on the ship. These berthing compartments are really nice.

A lot better than I had on the USS OKINAWA (LPH-3)

I was on an AOR from 84-87 and had a basic coffin rack, not the L-shaped, with a stand-up big enough to hang up some shirts and a jacket. My boy is on an LPD now with L-shapes. He just upgraded to a middle rack. I had bottom for 2 years.

As a 23 yr army guy I slept in mud, rain and snow many nights but was never in a cramped area. But the navy sure had better food than I ever got

Would have liked to see the mess deck engineering rooms and work shops.

Changed quite a bit. There was no way to sit up in the old coffins.

Way nicer that what we had on the Forrestal in the 80's! Glad they added frew creature comforts. Thanks for sharing!

What if you have a bunk mate that snores?

I really wanted to join the Navy to travel the world but after talking to the recruiter and him telling me that most of the time I’d be deployed to sea 2 to 3 months at a time or longer (depending on the patrol assignments or something), that pretty much was deal breaker for me because that much time away really puts a strain on relationships…….some are made stronger and others weaken and don’t make it because of the continued separations of deployments. I ended joining the Army, was 63E10 H8 M1A2 Tank Engine Mechanic and Tank Recovery Specialist with the M88 Tank Recovery Vehicle, had a blast made plenty of friends and served Operation Desert Shield/Storm Aug 90’ - March 91’……..I’m in my retired years now and regardless of which branch of military I enlisted in, overall it was the best decision I made coming out of high school. 😎👊🏾✌🏾💪🏿🔥

Oh what fun! Nothing like being in the head out at sea after a 12 hour shift and taking a shower and there's two people like three feet from you taking a crap!!

USAF is the only way to go! Plenty of room! Plenty of fresh air and sunshine and not stuck on a ship for 9 months!

Actually that’s an improvement from the way ships berthing used to be.

Nice view. Too bad that we can't see the berthings of the "higherups" too.

Thank God I chose the SeaBees! Yea, we live in the mud during FEX, but we build our comfort! If you don't want us to steal it I would say nail it down. But we have claw hammers, so good luck!!!!!

Vent fan doesn't work, facet doesn't work? Is this the Moskva?

L shaped racks came after me. I have had top, bottom and middle and prefer the bottom rack. Mine even triced up.

Much nicer than the USS Tarawa and Okinawa.

No curtains?
