The plane at Coronado is grounded off the runway. It's a display piece. Also Coronado literally surrounds the San Diego naval station. So really it's more like 1 super sized base. Thank you for your service Ryan, my grandfather was a US marine in ww2 and I appreciate you and Luke sharing your experiences. Have a great day sir.
Yeah, optical illusion. It's parked well off the runway, it's just such a large aircraft that the eye tries to put it closer. It looks like a C-5, so it's a big boy. Could be a C-17 but the nose doesn't look rounded enough. Watching those things take off in person your brain is just screaming at you "nothing that big, moving that slow could ever fly, it must be fake".
That's crazy because you just need to add on Naval airstation Oceana and Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek they techilnically are subsidiary bases for Norfolk bith California and Virignia have stupid large military installations as well and you got larger Naval Base real estate wise. Even Pearl Harbor over here you got west Loch thats across the water you also got Lualualei which is a Naval magazine supporting us here at Pearl, Keena Point supporting Hickam, NCTAMS in Wahiawa which are all subsidiary bases of Pearl Harbor its a good 20% of the island that belongs to the Navy or Airforce.
Yep and not far away is MCRD San Diego, which is as much as it pains me, technically a navy base.
Lol I was wondering what Ryan was talking about and when he walked it back a couple times, I can see that he thought it was in the air. Kinda funny because that would mean there's no landing strip for it. Also I didn't know that about Coronado so thanks!
In 1978 I was cargo on the LST USS L'Amour County for Operation Reforger. We docked at Rosythe and I took the train across the firth to Edinberg. I climbed Dun Edin on the Royal Mile and toured the castle. Frankly, I was more impressed with the city of Edinberg than the Naval Base Rosythe.
United States Marines on active duty are only stationed at Ft. Worth if they are acting as Reserve Training Instructors. Also called I and I duty.
I was stationed on the USS Eisenhower CVN-69 in the mid 90's and Naval Base Norfolk is its home port, and is indeed F-ing HUGE! It had a very large shopping mall with the Commissary in it. It had its own multi screen movie theater, McDonalds, a place called the Wind and Sea club where you could rent movies alla a Blockbuster, but you could also play pool, rent video games etc. Then Newport News Shipyards is right next door, that is where I saw (in the mid 90's) the USS John C. Stennis CVN-74 who was going through final testing, and them building the USS Harry S. Truman CVN-75, it was like watching a Leggo project on a massive scale. Newport News had at that time the largest crane in the world, the thing was MASSIVE and was driven around on train tracks!!
JRB Ft Worth was the old Carswell AFB IN Texas. It was closed in the 1994 and the navy, having a small base in Dallas (NASA Dallas) grabbed the opportunity to expand into the old Air Force base. The base was build in 1941 and is occupied pretty much by reserve forces of each of the services.
I'm kinda surprised, as someone that's lived in the Norfolk area nearly all of my life, that NAS Oceana wasn't on this list. That's where the air wings for the Carriers are stationed while not deployed.
When I was a Hospital Corpsman, I was stationed in Portsmouth VA across from Norfolk...its massive. There are ships everywhere there. Hawaii is awesome too, but there's so much demand in the Navy/Marine Corps for Hawaii, it can be tough to get too in my experience
I guess it's true what they say about dream sheets then. Put your favorite places last. I asked for a ship out of A school and got a shore command in Hawaii from 03-08.
Fun fact.
Those nice brick houses on base, were supposed to go to Portsmouth, NH.
Housing was ordered for both locations, at the same time.
So, we got houses with severe hurricane bracing, but, no overhang for snow,, and ice.
You got some nice brick houses, with no hurricane bracing whatsoever. But,, I guess the overhanging roof keeps some rain off of your windows.. 😅
Seeing a super-carrier up close filled me with pride, they're truly magnificent beasts.
Regarding Coronado, I know that plane is very loud when it takes off, I was lucky working as a contractor 20 years ago, early morning we heard those massive engines reve up, building was shaking, this was around 7am, Naval Station San Diego is actually right across from North Island, so if we had combine all the Navy bases I'm sure we be in the top 3. But if you combine all the bases including the Marine bases I'm sure we be number 1. As a kid I enjoyed going to the air show when it was NAS Miramar, Top Gun, hearing and seeing the F-14 Tomcats with their full afterburners was an impressive site,
yeah i think i heard it included MWTC Bridgeport too whicjh is about 5-6 hours away
Every time I see someone lane split around Bremerton, I'm like, "That's a Socal Squid. God speed sailor. "
I have been to or have been stationed at 7 of these bases. Retired at NAS Corpus Christi. Started at San Diego. My OS A School Dam Neck was close to Naval Station Norfolk. Spent some of my free time from A School there. 2 Years at Pearl. Number 8 NAS JRB FORT WORTH, used to be Carswell Air Force Base.
@1:38 I live in Norfolk VA which have 7 cities in one area. You can see how massive they are by driving your car near and around the base
I live in Fort Worth, was originally Carswell AFB. It's been around decades, but the recession took place around that time and became a victim of budget constraints. Shortly after, it became NAS. Also, it doesn't mention Lockheed is next door, where the F-35 is manufactured. So, various fighter planes from all branches use it.
Great video sir! Thanks for your service, Semper Fi from an old Jarhead, 85-90
Old but never out of the fight. Thank you for serving brother
It was a support logistics base then ft. Worth was expanded into a mass reserve and training bases. Also, Coronado is 5 minutes from sand Diego and where Seals are trained for BUDS.
You can drive by Norfolk shipyard and see the ships being built from the highway 😊
Yeah, I was stationed there, the crane that was there was driven around on tracks by two locomotive engines and in the mid 90's was the largest in the world.
It's beautiful at Pearle Harbor - Hickman is absolutely beautiful but expensive unless you're a senior NCO or don't go out often you don't have much money.
The Reserve base in Fort Worth is for all branches of military reserve forces, which is different than an active base. Marines have their own bases which will be a camp.
The irony between naval base Coronado and naval base San Diego is they are right next to each other. It’s just the Navy seals train at Coronado and they also have the buds program at Coronado.
Marines are fall under the Navy since 1834 so yes Marines can are based at all Navy bases plus they also have their own such as Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in San Diego, CA
I've been to 4 of these bases, courtesy of my badass brother. Our military is incredible.
The Forth Worth jrb use to be a huge air force SAC command so been there since the end off WWII.
I was stationed here as an active duty Marine working on KC-130 at VMGR-234. This is a 4th MAW base so reservist for air force, Navy, Marines and a small security army unit.
There is just the MAG, the kc-130s, and a unit of F18s. Navy has like 3 F18 units, and the air force has f16 and c-130
Some are stationed at NAS Jacksonville also
I've worked at a few of the bases on the west coast building/refitting naval ships. I've been to Norfolk and San Diego bases as well. I'm always as impressed as the first time I've ever seen them. Working at MCAS Iwakuni in Japan topped the list though.
Norfolk is Amazing was there early 2000s visiting family saw the aircraft carriers they are tall as buildings in cities!
That C130 is on the landing field. Look at the lines on either side of it. It is sitting next to the taxiway on its left. The Main runway is to the right of the plane. It's in the grass area.
Love your perspective on these videos, glad you are doing more lately.👍
Nas Jax, Jacksonville Florida. Got Mayport and other bases. So far been stationed on all bases listed.
Hey Ryan, keep the following: The total area of the UK is just over 93,600 square miles, about 40 times smaller than the US, and there are 11 states which could fit the UK inside them. BTW, at around 12:47 or so in the video, that plane is parked off the runway. It's a BIG plane.
"and their families" so serving members, is maybe 1/3 to 1/4 of that number. I was based at Bremerton (PSNS) in the early 90s aboard the USS Nimitz. Since then a lot of bases have undergone consolidation
Interesting you mention post Napoleonic war period. I've been reading Patrick O'Brian's books on Royal Navy historic fiction and just started a new on set immediately after Wellington trounces Napoleon at Waterloo. Talking about all the ships paying off and crews and officers being beached with no further employment in sight.
13:19 ❤😂 LOL that plane is parked it's not actually on our own way I believe that's a parking area for a bunch of planes see how it's so close to the hangers
Fort Worth Base has been renamed and reproprist over the years it was the home of the 4th Air Force Division in 1947 where Jesse Marsel was sent with disburses from Roswell NM. What it was is open for debate
Having served with some of the greatest men I know, the Navy and Marines are always hard on each other, but you can’t mess with one of us without messing with the other.
I live by NAS Ft. Worth and it's always a treat going down the highway and seeing our planes fly above following the highway. I think it's a huge base whenever I see it but knowing it ain't near the size of our other bases truly amazes me every time. Love the videos and wish ya well.
Hi Ryan, I really enjoy your channel and the content is great. If the navy has ship at number 8 you can bet the Marines are there. Hello from the Great Lake State Michigan USA. Marines are together with the Dept of the Navy. Thanks for your service.
There is like 5 naval bases in the Norfolk area, Portsmouth, Little Creek Oceana and others
Great Video Ryan! I feel its a bit inaccurate to separate San Diego from Coronado. I was stationed there in the early 90s 21st pier just about under the Coronado Bridge. Coronado is home to Buds training (Seal) as well. North Island i believe is home to Top Gun now whereas it used to be Miramar. I think the plane is actually sitting on the tarmac lol it looks like its on approach but i think it may be a c130 with its landing gear and belly being really close together. New subscriber! Keep it coming.
You ever make it to Seattle area Look me up. As A retiree I still have access to limited access but not the secure areas of AF, Army Navy bases.
Joint bases are a mix of branches, Ft. Worth is Navy, AF MC and Army.
The plane was on a taxiway not in the air.
The plane that wasnt moving "in mid air" was actually on the ground parked lol. Perception is a hellofa thing :)
The USMC have their own bases but all US Navy bases have Marines for security on the base and assigned to the ships moored their. When the ships are being upgraded or repaired, the Marines attached to them are sent to the various USMC bases until the ship is ready to sail.
Norfolk is 3400 acres or 13.75 square kilometers, so you can have a size reference.
The Subic bay in the Philippines will open back again bro. It was the largest U.S. Navy installation in the Pacific and was the largest overseas military installation of the United States Armed Forces after Clark Air Base in Angeles City in Philippines also.The base was 262 square miles (680 km2), about the size of Singapore.[
Number 4 and Number 9 are pretty much a part of the same base in San Diego CA
Hell Ryan. Great shit as always. 🤙🏼🔥
I'm a simple man, I see an upload from my favorite bootneck, I watch. Great vid, the only contact I had with the Navy was working with a unit of Sea Bees (Construction Battalion, I think deactivated) they seemed like pretty chill good guys, had guard duty with some of them and I think they got a kick out of an Army grunt being interested in what they do,lol
Love your videos man. Btw, that plane was in the background sitting in a field 😁
Naval Base Kitsap consolidated several naval facilities on the peninsula of Washington state. Depending on the route taken, it's between 30 and 50 miles from Seattle.
The plane is a display plane on the side of the runway, I have been there for training and seen it, look crazy but it’s there
When a plane seems to be frozen mid-air it is an optical illusion called the parallax effect.
You’ll defend strong as you should my guy, and we’ll be coming in hot like big brother!
🇬🇧🤝🏼🇺🇸
Ryan great video as usual , 🇺🇸🇬🇧💯
If you are a marine chances are you will get stationed on a either a Naval Base or Navy ship if not on a Marine Corps base but by same token if you are enlisted Hospital Corps [ Medic to Army & Air Force ] or Religous Personnel you may in addition to Navy schools get sent to a Fleet Marine Force [USMC school ] training then assigned to USMC units/base - In My day it was mandatory we wore USMC uniforms but with our USN rank/rate which looks different than the USMC rank as never enlisted in USMC but in USN however this is possible because if you look at the official seal of the USMC it says: > their Pilots and Navigators go to NAVAL aviation school Naval Base Pensacola to earn their wings and they get carrier take off/Landing training that the Air Force does not get. Retired HM1 ~ HM 8404/8407/8425
Coronado is the other side of San Diego Bay from Naval Station San Diego.
what i wanna know is WTH is that Squid doin to the sub hull at time stamp 7:42.....LMAO
Hey, did you see the article in "The Telegraph" by Col. Tim Collins (Ret. SAS) "Britain no longer has a military" regarding the MOD and the state British Military conditions? Do you have any thoughts?
the army was testing a new airframe for a stealth like attack heicoptor to replace the apachie it was called the comanchie yea the helicoptors where named for native american tribes
Hell yeah. Keep ‘em coming my boy! Love your content! US/UK ALL DAY!
NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport are both in the city of Jacksonville along the St. Johns River.
Hawaii is.... ok. Honolulu has a pretty cool nightlife if you're a young single guy, and water sports like surfing and diving are readily accessible, but I got tired of everything after a month or so there- the island is TINY. Pearl Harbor has a really huge Base Exchange, though. We'd go down once a month or so to buy stuff we couldn't get on Schofield Barracks.
I was stationed at all the East coast Naval based except Maine. Pax River is mostly testing.
Well, that’s not how you say Norfolk definitely doesn’t have the Appalachian accent lol love your videos keep going
That plane not moving is probably on a hot spot, loading hazardous cargo
Joint base means that they combined differnt service bases into one location
Ryan, I don't think they mention anything about the national guard. Each state has a national guard controlled by that's State's Governor. They train with the regular army then report to their State. They mostly take care of natural disasters tornados, hurricanes, etc....but are soldiers. Also the Coast Guard . And also space force has been added.❤ message from old M1A2 Abrams operator.👍
That plan you said wasn't moving was on the ground it is just that big that you thought it was in the air closer to the camera.
Brother you have what we have to America is with you
Also Ryan, I think America, UK and the Aussie will never fall-out with each other. It's such a power alliance of course ( America Jr. will want to help, I sorry I mean Canada). I realized now this is Naval video.
It looks like the plane at Coronado is sitting on a path, but not a runway. But I'd wager it was either moving at slow speed or would be in the near future
My grandfather told me if he had to fight with another group of shoulder other than the US military it would be the British he said they feared death but they would never show it. He said that if one knew he was going to die he would apologize to everyone around him for not being able to keep fighting.
I’m an American and damn proud of our Royal Marine brethren. 🫡
Man who’s been on Pearl Harbor/Hickam it’s much larger than it looks in that photo that’s a little one photo it’s there’s a island called Rhode Island and paired in size of Matt that’s tiny but that’s the size is huge and then you have the 800 acres of land that that’s around Ford Island
Fort Worth has a lot of aviation training. I know they train foreign fighter pilots there. Its a joint base though.
10. Is known locally as Pax river
That plane is in fact flying .. well.. in this case getting ready to land. The reason the plane appears to be floating is called the “Parallax effect”. It is defined as a type of visual illusion in which the position of an object in 3-dimensional space appears to change, due to a shift in the position of the observer.
The USS Winston Churchill is stationed at the naval base Jacksonville in Florida. British helmsman steer the ship and a member of the royal navy is permanently assigned.
Norfolk navy base in Virginia is 10 minutes from my house depending on the traffic on the bridge
Not sure why they separated san diego and coronado. Basicly its in the same city and they are across each other. I live in san diego and been to both bases. So its kind of missguided that they have them separated. They also forgot to add coronado houses the most aircraft carriers on the west coast, we always have 1 or 2 on port and 2 or 3 deployed at once.
It is a very large plane in this park Thank you
A lot of the military bases in the US were built in the middle of nowhere on government owned land left over after the Homesteader's Act ended in the early 1900's. The bases are built on land the gov't couldn't give away to settlers because it was too inhospitable for farming. The farmers would starve to death trying to get the land to support crops, so they grabbed nicer plots of land to settle on. The US gov't owns more land in the US than any other entity because of the Lousiana Purchase, when the US bought the rest of the west from Mexico, and the Alaska Purchase. I'm pretty sure the US gov't had to buy most of the land from citizens to set up the naval bases on the US coast.
Bath Maine. BIW. Bath Iron Works. Produces world class destroyers DDG 1000
I am sure how crazy it gets we will always be on the same side
Militarily, the western world seems to have shifted to a modern form of chivalric defense. The exception, of course, is the United States with its power being similar to the Roman Empire. After the decline of Rome, many small nations broke away. As such, there were very limited resources for defense, unlike the massive budget the Romans had for professional soldiers. So, these smaller nations focused on equipping highly-skilled individuals with the best equipment they could afford. In today's terms, the militaries of most European nations have focused on training commbat troops to be special forces, essentially. So, even though they may be small, they still pack quite a punch where it counts.
I wonder if it counts joint bases like Pearl Harbor/Hickam
There are multiple dozens more Navy bases not mentioned here both at home and abroad. And this is only the Navy. Don't even get started on how many Army, Air Force, and Marines bases there are both at home and around the world. I don't care what others say, I am dam proud of our US and fellow UK countries and militaries. We got each other's back, especially in these uncertain times and emerging threats.
I've been stationed at a majority of thoes bases, some of that info is a bit off, also, the airplane was parked on the airfield, not flying, any questions please ask....Fly Navy!!!
I do believe those numbers are for military when they say and family members that would be those numbers plus family members.
Every single naval base around the world has a Marine detachment assigned to it. They are the security for the Navy.
Nearby NAS Fallon where TOPGUN is based has small numbers of personnel in comparison but land mass is about to be a million square miles with decades of dumping and permanently uninhabitable munition ranges. Local tribal people were granted it back after wwii but had it taken gain with the Korean War onset. Contamination and resource consumption here is obvious, these massive bases are beyond environmental reclamation.
🤣🤣🤣 dude being at hickam and you dont live on base is probably the worst traffic i have ever experienced and i was stuck on the M25 going to Heathrow
By the way, just cause I was curious... according to Google, the US military has bases around the world & in the US totally around 27M acres.
... the UK as a whole is 60M acres.
Also, the US Fish & Wildlife service manages over 850M land & sea acres, 20M of it wilderness, :)))
Doesn't even count state wildlife areas!
Its a paramanic camara picture
They Navy only has about 200,000 active duty sailors. About 125,000 Marines. The Army is by far the largest military branch. Not sure what the Air Force has typical since the introduction of Space Force.
I got to take the Boy Scouts on a tour through San Diego
I agree with you there mate I'm a fellow sand dancer from south Shields and I think our forces definitely need to up our game the marines have downsized asmuch as the navy what happend to the good old days where Britannia ruled the waves man!!! We should be once a conqueror allways a conqueror Britannia ruled the waves 100 year ago what has actually happened man we actually trained the Americans tactics of the 1st and 2nd world war they have listened and learnt while we have just stood back!!! We wouldn't have been anywhere if it wasn't for the ww2 commandos paving the way for the rest of the world why have we actually let it become the way it is!!
Technically the US Marines are part of the US Navy. But I'd keep that quiet when walking around a US Marine base... (Discretion is the better part of valor, and all that.) Make no mistake, all branches specialize, and when it hits we'll need all of them.
also, your question at 11:35...there really isnt any marines at all. Mostly reserves. Think you got the uniforms mixed up.
The plane not moving is sitting on the ground, it's an optical issue that w/o careful analysis it's actual position can be distorted with a 2D photograph. Ray
Naval Station Norfolk is also home to one of NATO’s Joint Force Commands
If your a Marine chances are very good you'll end up on a Naval base of some kind somewhere. The Marine are part of the Department of the Navy, Soooo, They tend to go where the Navy goes.
Population of USA.
Approximately 330 million, GB is approximately 70 million. Unfortunately shows they have a few more people than us.
Unfortunately our fighting age young men are mostly
immigrants . Great channel 👍
11:49 so the Marines are actually only deployable if the president says so like the army in the Air Force they need Congress and house to tell him to go to war but the Marines only work for the president and yes the Marines do have some bases but primarily the Marines use the Navy and the Air Force basically as a taxi service the Marines will live on naval bases Air Force bases and operate out of those bases
