Mike Rowe is an American Hero
I was on the crew that built the first 10 F18 Prototypes for Northrop at the Hawthorne California plant in 1978. All great people on that crew. None of us knew then that the F18 would still be in service as a great Aircraft over 4 DECADES later. Haven't seen any of those guys in the last 30 years, but am sure they are proud too.
So you worked only for ten years and were laid off then...
@@marcelbork92 No when that project was done, Northrop was building a new manufacturing plant in El Segundo for the actual production line of the F18's. It was a few months out, so I got a job offer on the Lockheed F117 prototypes being built at Burbank Skunk Works. A big deal in those days when the word actually got around and people worked together. Knew quite a few people at Northrop, Lockheed, and Rockwell. So when the F117 prototypes were done, ended up at Rockwell on the B1-A Bomber Flight Test Program at Edwards Air Force Base. Both of those first 2 Bombers were fully operational.
So that was different than building prototypes that were not operational and with many new challenges. But the old guys out there were great to work with!!! Funny too with all kinds of old jokes, but they all knew their trade extremely well. Back in those days if you helped them guys out they would teach you like no one else can, if they knew you were serious to learn it all. The B1-A at Edwards was the best job of them all. There are none out there today like that job was.

Mike Rowe's commentary makes me proud of my fellow Americans.

I'm so proud of everyone in the US Navy
(including my favorite cousin who recently got admitted to the Naval Academy). You guys are the best.
Good luck to your cousin especially serving during this administration. ~ retired Navy vet
Maybe they are, but armed with obsolete weapon. Russians are far ahead in iz, they are MARSIANS!
Beat Navy!
It’s too bad that they won’t let us older 47 year olds join. I am at a place in my life where the kids are gone and I would love to be able to serve my amazing 🇺🇸🇺🇸 I know what dedication and life experience is about and I have a good 20 years until I retire…. This needs to change
Your mind is not as malleable
Great point Joshua. People live longer now and are healthier longer. I agree with you that the minimum should be about 65. I worked in a large corporation until I retired at 65. No one suggested I quit when I was in my 40's...
@@mookisabatuki4201 Malleable as if in conforming? That is "EVIL communism-socialism!" What the world needs are FREE THINKERS! A mind open to all options and full of HIGHLY individualistic initiatives based on SHEER INDIVIDUALISM while coordinating with a cohesive fighting group force with tons of common sense and experiences under all kinds of severe conditions. TRUST BUT VERIFY-RECHECK ALL THE TIME AND IN ALL PLACES!
The us navy is not Thr only way you can serve your country. It’s just the best way to serve Thr military industrial complex. If you care about serving america, start a charity, volunteer full time, become a teacher.
@@darthvader5300 you clearly have never served and think that the military "on the ground" is always logical. if you at 45 clearly see danger and your 20 year old officer tells you to go regardless of the danger you will not go. war is a business older then any of us, there is a reason why people must join before a certain age so that there is no free thinking- some must take the fire while others take the hill.
hello from Las Vegas Nevada
GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Mike Rowe, And Dirty Jobs.
Giving Respect For American Military
And Blue Collar Workers.
Good tribute to our Navy and its men and women who are on the frontlines in every war since 1941. No fighting force in history has developed tactics, weapons, and battle orders like the US Navy...thanks Mr. Mike Rowe for this program
This is exactly why China is desperate to try to assume the position of superpower, make no mistake about it they know what we are capable of doing in a moments notice, USA
No doing too well in Ukraine, what happen to your weapon ?
@@JohnLee- what weapon brother were not in Ukraine if we were the whole world would know about it,put down the crack pipe
America is getting weaker with a corrupt administration in the White house.
@@FlipSideGarage actually what I have observed is that we are getting stronger because of the war in Ukraine more nations are joining the cause and when we flex our muscle 💪 they will know why we are still the superpower
@@antoniobarreto3960 prbly a Russian troll.
Hey, komrad, how'd that whole cold war thing work out for ya?
It's not always on the pilot. Sometimes the movement of the ship (up and down) on the waves can also play a factor on those skid marks, cables, etc.
Nope 👎🏻.
I served onboard cv66 uss America vaw 123 during 1981 split med IO Gonzo station cruise

"A melting pot and a meritocracy" say less. The powers that try to weaken this country are trying to undo both of those core pillars of american greatness. Chipping away at racial, gender, religious, cultural and ideological differences, and rewarding laziness. I served in the military in the Army and can state that america and americans at their greatest exist when people from all walks of life come together with a common mission, put their differences aside to get the job done, and work ethic and character are recognized and rewarded as an example for others to follow. I wish more people in this country could have had the experience I had by serving their country. Looking back on it, it was truly a privilege more than anything else.
well said
I absolutely agree as well I put that 3 years spent in the US ARMY as some of the best years of my life !
Hooah!
And nothing like a war to make us all come together right, let’s do it Biden, fight china, oh wait he has started already.

1971-1974 I was aboard USS Constellation CVA-64 for about 800 days/nights. Glad you enjoyed it. There is so much to these mighty ships, even with 800 working days aboard, I feel like I barely scratched the surface of her complexity. BTW, Connie was very well maintained propulsion-wise, and made a Subic Bay, Philippines to Yokuska, Japan flat-out high speed run, reaching 36.2 Kts. Picture a rooster tail flying off the screws that was about 300+' long and 125' high. For some reason that top speed was classified for many years.
I commissioned that ship, qualified EW, made Chief and finished my MBA! USS George H.W. Bush CVN 77 Plankowner proud!
A Goat. Cool. Rule 1: a Chief is always right. Rule 2: if you think a Chief is wrong refer to rule 1. Im a retired Senior Chief MMCS/SS. Thanks for your service. God Bless our Troops.
I was so fortunate to work aboard this ship as a civilian shipyard employee.
Worked on the resupply ship.
Hi Cathy! I commissioned this ship and spent LOTS of time in Newport News.
They all work together imagine that.
God bless America❤️🙏. God bless The United States Of America forever and ever amen ❣️❤️🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Made respect to our servicemen and women for the time they put in to keep this country safe.
These vehicles are not meant to make "this" country safe, but to make other countries unsafe.
God bless America, thanks Mike.
During WW II it is the beginning of the era of the AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. But now it is the era of the MULTI-ARMORED ship with high cyclic rate anti-missile cannons and guns and missiles and anti-cavitation torpedoes against submarines and surface to surface anti-ship missiles. And complete with DECENTRALIZED systems alongside with centralized systems. And designed with 15 to 16 crosswise watertight bulkheads from bottom to top deck and with 6 to 7 lengthwise watertight bulkheads from bottom to top deck. Each room and each corridor section equipped with fire foam extinguishers-sprayers.
Great Job Mike 👌
I can't imagine walking the length of that flight deck to know this massive floating piece of steel was made by men and those working on it do so as a team.
I don’t mean to be corny but women too! I commissioned that ship, USS George H.W. Bush CVN 77 Plankowner proud!
I walked the flight deck of the "Mighty Ike" CVN69. I had NO IDEA just how big the ships are. I'm just amazed at the sheer size of them. And when they pull in to Port it was just awesome.
I hope that all the Sailor's on this ship are taking care of all their needs. Too many are not well. Keep them in your thoughts! ⚓️💙⚓️
Mike Rowe is an american treasure. change my mind.
Thanks so much 🥰
When I was in the Navy in the 70's the Russians hadn't quite figured out how to do under replenishment (UNREP) so they was always a Russian ship following us to figure out how we did it. At the time they would have to go into a safe harbor to refuel or replenish supplies and they refueled anchored and in tandem, i.e., the fuel line is passed from fantail to bow. I don't know how they replenished supplies; probably by small boat.
We also passed personnel ship to ship this same way; like on Sundays the chaplains would come aboard on a high chair this way. If they were lucky they'd came across dry.
Our aircraft carriers are the best in the world and are a force to be reckoned with.
That is true the US can plop one on those off the coast of any country in the world a wreak havoc. But basically we keep all sea lanes open. We have 10 or 12. God Bless our Troops
God Bless these young men.
Thank you that was very very interesting.
The Chinese are able now to pinpoint US carriers sailing anywhere in the world via their satelite systems. Combine that with hypersonic missles, with 2500 mile range, (fighters range is under 500 miles ) and it becomes apparent 6K men and a 6-13 Billion dollar singular vessel could all perish in a moments time. The Navy /DOD should find a way to protect our sailors and second put 13 Billion dollars to use address the new technolgy of the 21st century vs the 100 yr old carrier system.
We can do the same to China’s only 2 operational carriers.
The Navy is so Awesome
Makes me miss my Navy days
I guess Mike was too scared (Fraidy Cat) to visit an operating Submarine. Aircraft carriers are targets. Try to find a submarine before its too late. Actually I respect all those who serve our country. I just happen to like lethal undetected submarines. God Bless our Troops.
The Silent doesn't advertise much. I am Canadian and when I was about 11 my mother somehow found out about a nuclear sub docked in florida. Being a Nieve Canadian family we drove out to see it...lol the armed guard that stopped us at a checkpoint said something to effect of you can look from here but if you drive any further I'll have to shoot y'all....lol I bet someone got in trouble for that security breach.
@@philhutchings7354 You made me laugh. I was stationed on Subs that went to Port Canaveral for some visit or mission. Had a blast. And we let special visitors visit depending on our security status. Small tours mind you. If you worked out there you probably had clearance. and you and your visitors must definitely be on an entry list. With an approved guide. There are armed personnel everywhere.
I did a dependent cruise on a sub from Maui back to Oahu with my then boyfriend who became my husband, later my ex after 13 years. The ride WAS AWESOME!
@@iamkesha. Something you will never forget. The submarine visit that is. Now you are a US Submarine Ambassador. And no longer A NEWBIE.
THANK YOU for your services. We are very grateful. You are the pride of Freedom and humanity.
I love these tidbits. But where the hell can I see the entire episode?
May God bless America !!!!
CHICLAYO PERU 🇵🇪 🤝 ALABAMA US 🇺🇸
How do we see the full version
Awesome 👌
Excellent ☆☆☆☆☆.
The navy is cool. Its to die for
Very cool mike

God Bless All American NAVY or Servicemen. I thank you for your Service
Probably can be sunk by a single hypersonic missile.🤭
RIP to the country that fired that missile.
If only our government spent this kind of money on high speed rail, infrastructure, and investments in education/training
Oh you mean education like critical race theory transgender ism to first graders?…. just checking
@@randallparsons3626 no I was thinking more like Skilled labor training, cyber security training, coding, etc.
@@mikehawk4856 o k I’ll retract my smart-assed statement..
The Nimitz class carriers aren't even as powerful as our Gerald Ford class of carriers.
Amazing American made power. USA baby. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Flint Michigan in the house hell yes
Imagine forgetting something on the other side of that ship that you had to have. Or if you where already running late for duty and you forgot something on the other end of the ship down 6 floors in your room.
I wonder how much less it would cost if it was made in China?
I love your narration , your the new voice for generations to come , your definitely the smartest guy in the room 🤙🏽
As long as it's not made by austal it should float..
Go Navy! 🇺🇸⚓️🏴☠️
That’s at least $8 billion carrier my friend
Sooo expensive but sooo worth it. Must control the oceans.
👍✈🇺🇸👍
1Key to military is fuel.(food)
My father in-law LSO WWII pacific.
6 billion dollars...
"Friend prices"
sincerely speaking at this age and time aircraft carriers are obsolete in other terms they are big sea targets,unless you are fighting an insurgent ,a well organized army would target it very easily
I tend to agree. In a real war things would go nuclear in ten minutes and everything would be sunk or vaporized. The military knows this, they all know it.
For the new ballistic missile threat against carriers we also need a anti ballistic missile cruiser with a special weapon system which reliably takes ICBM's down
3 Doors Down produced a video on this ship!
Kudos to all those surface sailors!! Of course that 6 billion dollar aircraft carrier would not make it in a week, some 1 billion dollar sub would have it to the bottom of the ocean.
Thats why its called a carrier group. The battleships and corvettes etc around it serve an individual purpose. Some are specifically for sub detection deterrent and anti-sub. That 6 billion is nothing compared to the carrier (FLEET)
Including our own subs
@@doubletappem just more for the bottom of the ocean. The other subs will be something but hose surface ships will feel lonely as the slowly get picked apart.
Well now Mike . . . welcome to my home . . . The United States Navy.
"24/7, 365 TRADITION IN. EXCELLENCE!"
Let's be clear, it doesn't cost $6 billion dollars to make these ships. This is just what they are selling them for.
The fake Rage Against The Machine soundtrack is wild.
god bless america
At 4:42, why is an image of a Russian carrier used to show the three cables used to recover aircraft on a carrier? Also, the aircraft used to show an example of a recovery is obviously an F-15.
Where's the rest of show?
Where are we gonna get the fuel for it? OPEC?
The USA has the most professional soldiers, sailors, and airmen in the whole world.
I pray to God 🙏 to set everything right now 🙏
Only $6 billion of our money. Oh come on, y’all can spend more than that.
Go Navy!
You cut it off? !
President Donald Trump already taken care of those landing cables.
For your information, the Royal Navy first carried out ship-to-ship re-supply around 1870. I believe the USA conducted trials some 20 years later.
Couldn't have given the ship A better name
Why? the bush family are war criminals blood on their hands what is the matter with you.
I could say the same thing about the USS Jimmy Carter or USS Lyndon Johnson. Deal with it.
Yes indeed I can't stand Johnson and Carter was weak 😤
Deal with what
@@johndodge2188 Haha. My mistake. Completely misread your comment. I took it the other way.
But did you see any UAP?
If nuclear power is good for the ocean it is good on land. WHY ISNT THE SHIP SOLAR POWERED OR HYDROELECTRIC?
🤷♂️ good question
Is there any defense against a surface to surface hypersonic missile striking an aircraft carrier?
Do aircraft carriers get "pot holes" 🕳?
yup..thats my grandson….
Boy Mike, those hoses connected to the jets look a lot like fuel hoses…..not charging cables 🤣🤣🤣🤣 don’t tell Joe
3 strikes you’re out!
why did they use a soviet carrier 3d render lol
Yes, all say, all agreed, at the expense, neglecting other important infrastructures. These infrastructures are to employment for 10 of thousands Americana.
MADE IN USA ALWAYS POWERFUL
USS Washington ?
So we could give you Ukraine 15 of these with the the money we're spending on their War.
Why do you use a F-15 in your computer visual graphic?
🙃...what sort of evil cliffhanger did this doc end on?!
Beautiful....all except for the name. I personally don't believe in naming ships after questionable individuals.
Jimmy Carter a Submarine/ Robert E Lee a Submarine/ Stonewall Jackson a Submarine on and on. Despite the name of the ship. The Mission is the same. Defend the US. God Bless our Troops
Did you tell him about the force field that's around it oops my bad it is what it is sorry
1 df17 missiles it gone
We could of built 6 more of these with money we gave Ukraine
Much of what you show gives away how to operate a high speed flight deck. This is a 100 year old technology. 3/1922
Useless as a stone age hammer, without computational power. Who protects the chips?
American military might depends on computational power. In our own time, the question of this power's nature is still largely unanswered.
What is computational superpower, hic et nunc?
The noetic scientivity of the noosphere.
And getting Bigger?
