How Does World's Largest Aircraft Carrier Stay Level?

  • One of the biggest concerns for aircraft carriers is the risk of US Navy sailors or planes falling overboard. This warship has more than 6000 sailors on board, nearly 100 fighter jets worth over 30 million dollars each, and many luxury amenities you'd find in a city. It weighs more than 100,000 tons and is over 1000 feet long. On July 8th 2022, a fighter jet flew off the deck of the mighty USS Harry S. Truman due to unexpectedly violent weather in the Mediterranean Sea. This shocking incident raised suspicion as to how the events took place considering the capability of the aircraft carrier to withstand harsh weather conditions.
    How did this happen and what happens when an aircraft carrier runs into a heavy storm? How does such a massive ship manage to stay level and prevent millions of dollars worth of aircraft from drowning in the deep ocean? #aircraftcarrier #usnavy #sailors

    I was on the carrier Constellation in the 70's. We were caught in a typhoon off Thailand and even for it's massive size and weight it was quite a ride. The flight deck was closed off to anyone and all hatches and doors were secured closed. All aircraft were tied down with 24 chains ( if you could find that many ). We watched the sea through our shop bulkhead door and it would scare the death out of you to see how powerful the sea can be. 80+ foot swells and rollers is a sight you will never forget. Hitting the swells at 90 degrees to keep from rolling over would cause the whole ship to hesitate for a second from moving forward . For a 100,000 ton ship that was impressive.

      I think there numbers for the amount of ballast the Ford can handle is a bit off. They said 4 tanks at 7 million gallons each. At 8 lbs per gallon and 2000 lbs per tonn, that works out to 112000 tonns of variable ballast for a 100000 tonn ship...that amount of ballast would sink it...

      I was on the USS Independence in 1969. We were in the north Atlantic when we encountered an unusual typhoon. Green water over the flight deck. 75 to 80 foot swells. Scared the hell out of me. Will never forget it, ever. I still don't know how the destroyers made it through, but they did. Water was seeping through the hanger deck doors. Peanut butter and crackers to keep from getting seasick. The ocean has unbelievable power.

    I was air wing on USS Enterprise two cruises. We were part of a 3 carrier battle group off the Aleutian Islands in 1983 with USS Midway and Coral Sea. We encountered heavy weather with waves breaking over the bow, damaging some aircraft on the flight deck. Many were sick. The raw power of the ocean is unbelievable and can toss around a 100,000 ton ship like a matchbox. God bless our shipmates on the destroyers and frigates who had it far worse then we did.

      I was stationed on a 109' tug at Adak, in the Aleutians, and we went out and worked in those conditions regularly. But nobody cares about tugs because there are no officers strutting around on them trying to buff up their careers. We got over the seasick thing pretty quick. Then we served tuna and pickle sandwiches to the cocky big-ship sailors when they happened to be aboard as passengers. :-) I know it's mean, but anyone under 45 is really still a child and we were only in our 20s, so barely past infancy.

      I was not in the military but one time I was on a 174 foot decommissioned navy ship being used as a freight carrier to Alaska. Before we entered the gulf from the inside passage a huge storm started to rage. Not yet entering the Gulf, everyone said I needed to practice putting on a survival suit and go over what everyone's task is in the event the ship were to start sinking. The zipper on my survival suit gets stuck on fabric just below my chin so I couldn't see it to break it free and my hands were in those mittens.
      Just as we start entering the gulf, the chief engineer comes up to talk to the captain and says, we have 3 stress fractures in the engine room taking in water faster than the bilges will pump out. Me still my survival suit with a stuck zipper and can't get out listening to this conversation. Captain says no we would capsize the winds are 90 MPH gusting higher. We put wood shims with rags in the fractures to slow the water intake.
      I finally get out of the suit and the captain says we need to protect the winless, so it doesn't freeze in case we have to drop anchor, so we carried a walking board (thick sheet of plywood about 3/4 to 1 inch thick) from the back of the ship to the front, which wasn't too bad as cargo shielded from the wind.
      That changed once we got onto the bow. Carrying the walking board like a knife into the wind so its not like a kite, the wind rips me off the back and blows me across the bow with nothing to the grab and 8 inches of half frozen sea water on the deck slippery it was. Railing fast approaching I spun around and grabbed the railing with my right hand but my left hand missed the railing over. This was at night so it was pitch black couldn't hear the see the ocean but could hear it. I thought I was going overboard for a second month was November/December I forget.
      Get back inside and after a while the captain invited me up to the wheal house for a view (2 or 3 stories up) from the deck. The waves he said we 45 food swells so 90 foot from bottom to top. The sheer power of the ocean crashing into the window of the wheelhouse was truly awe inspiring and a little terrifying, I thought it was going to break through the Window.

      @@UnknownMoses The Navy was trying out survival suits while I was in Adak. We put the testers in the water and plucked them out after a while and they sent reports to somewhere. A day in the life of an actual working sailor. 🙂
      You clearly get the idea of the weather we dealt with, but one thing I'll say about our tugs: they were built like battering rams. Navy ships are built for speed, tugs are built to bash into things. I recall an incident when a tug was pulling full reverse and the pilot ordered it directly to full forward. It hit the side of the ship HARD, bent up the hull plating on the ship and buckled some of its interior bulkheads, but no harm was done to the tug and it continued to work daily. There's no way they would experience stress fractures just due to some waves.

      @@briangodfrey7424 I did some research to job my memory and it was the Typhoon in January 1995. In my case, I don't think stress fractures were caused by waves, I think the ship was hull under a poor maintenance plan. We eventually made it to Ketchikan Alaska. But on the way the waves were so big it was like the movie "Perfect Storm" The boat would climb one wave then crash into the middle of the next. Fortunately, the ship was longer than the waves were tall. The captain did say it was the worst storm he'd ever seen and he'd been doing it for over 20 years. This was a decommissioned Navy River ship; it had a flatter keel to work in shallower water. I was so sick!!!

    I served onboard the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 back in the 1980's. There was only one time during the 2 years aboard that I felt the ship rock.
    We were skirting along the edge of a typhoon in the Indian ocean travelling from Gonzo Station outside the Persian Gulf to a port visit in Perth Australia.
    In fact, we were so used to having a stable environment that we had never bothered to tie down the computers on our desks. And when we the skirted the edge of that typhoon, several computers in different departments had slid off their desks onto the floor. We actually had waves coming into the hanger bay. Fun time.

    I've been in rough seas all over the world. Experienced my first rough seas off the coast of Georgia in 1983 on USS Semmes DDG 18. Seas were 25-30 feet. Semmes was only 437 feet long and 47 feet wide. Getting caught in between swells, the ship took deep dips and rolls at the same time. Got severely sea-sick that night. Had other bouts of rough seas in the Indian Ocean, Southern Pacific off the coast of Chile, northern Atlantic off the coast of Norway, and the Mediterranean Sea.

    I'm a retired USN MCPO. I have been at sea in storms on a number of aircraft carriers including Midway, Enterprise, Independence (full tour), Saratoga, Constellation and most of the nucs (not including any of the last four.) Much of what you report is almost true. Almost none of it is completely true.
    I have seen green water over the bow a dozen times on a carrier. I have been in storms that required ALL the aircraft to be flown off or stored in the hangar deck. That is a barely possible thing and an extreme emergency response.
    Sea keeping abilities are not strictly a matter of size. 30 foot sailboats and fifteen foot dinghy's survive the same storms as aircraft carriers.
    It's about how you sail your ship; not how big it is.

      Even then it doesn't always work. We were in the Bay of Naples with a reactor down and all engines at cold idle when a storm blew in. We were dragging anchor. They had to bring up the idle reactor and do an expedited light off of both engine rooms. We steamed out of Naples and left quite a few of the crew on the beach. I got to stand a nine hour upper level port watch in #1 MMR that day. Ships are often safer underway than in port when it really starts to blow.

    I was on USS Standley CG-32 in 1979 between Hawaii and Guam. We were in a super typhoon and had 25-foot seas. I don't recall the carrier we were with but the admiral's staff I was on was embarked in USS Standley. The fantail and many of the weather decks were awash and we took many waves over the bow. It was very hard to stand watches and sleeping was very hard to do while we were in the storm. The seas were extremely rough and not all of the waves were hit at exactly 90 degrees as we had to maintain movement in a southwesterly direction in order to make Guam in a reasonable amount of time. Safety of course was primary in that storm and most people got seasick to some degree. Cooking meals was difficult as well in the heavy seas and many of the weather decks were off-limits. 30 -40 degree rolls were not uncommon.

    As part of AntiSub Squadron 24 (VS-24) operating S-2Es aboard the USS Randolph (CVS-15) coming back from the Med across the North Atlantic in mid December 1967, we had a number of wild rides. Normal tied downs for the S-2E were 6, 2 on each wheel, as Joe pointed out in his post we were at 24 tie downs. On a previous trip like this the Air Group lost an S-2E over the side. First reaction was that there weren't enough chains until they went out (after seas calmed down) and discovered 24 missing pad eyes in the deck. The violent weather pulled them out.
    We were taking green water over the first helo spot on the flight deck (about 60' back from the hurricane bow). As many aircraft as we could get in the hanger bay, were there and the rest were on the fantail (pad eyes had been replaced during a yard visit before we sailed in September of 1967. The catwalks were all closed and no one was to go outside.
    In the JO Bunk room (the one for VS-24 was under the port cat, the one for our sister squadron was under the starboard cat). We could feel the ship nose up on one wave and then nose down into the next wave and the entire ship shuddered when that happened, along with the high pitch whine from the screws when they came out of the water. Keep in mind that although the Essex class carriers were a bit shorter and lighter than the Forrestal class and above, our overall length was still 888 feet.
    The ones I really felt sorry for were the small boys (Destroyers) that were with us and attempting to hold position.

    I've served on both Ships and Submarines. Submarines on the surface are far worse than any ship because of their rounded hull. The East coast is worse than the West coast because of how far out the continental shelf extends off of the East coast so you have to surface farther out. I remember my Sub doing 45 degree rolls side to side. Back in Engineering only myself as Reactor Operator and the Engine Room Supervisor were still on our feet and not throwing up.

    At 6:10 Is the rudder actually moved that quickly back and forth for stability corrections?

    I was on USS Independence CV-62. A few times the seas were heavy enough to take water on the flight deck, and to see life boats carried off the side. Quite impressive, that (at the time) the oldest ship in service carried it off without a struggle.

    On the Knox class frigate we used fin stabilizers to keep the ship stable during gun shoots. But truly. No matter how large the ship. How many ballast tanks that you have. Every ship at sea is at the mercy of mother nature. The sea can be unforgiving. Look up the modern day loss of the cargo ship El Farro.

    Tilting? No, they heel or list they don't tilt. No they are not specially designed to not tilt. they are driven in certain ways and aircraft, water, and fuel are moved to ensure that we stay at two degrees. They are specially designed to launch and land aircraft. Sailed on Connie and Kennedy. Who looked over this narration and gave it the green light?

    I've seen ""blue water over the bow" when I was aboard the USS Ticonderoga CVA-14,during the early days of the Vietnam War. Even with a ship of her size, the waves will make her rock and roll. We had to lash ourselves into our bunks at night, to keep from being tossed onto the deck.

And a loss of that aircraft completely 180°that I'd hate to think that that aircraft had the any defect. However at the same time that could have saved the pilot's life that was a POS

    Hmmm, right at the beginning I’m kind of questioning this and the accuracy. 100 fighter jets? I’m pretty sure that’s not accurate. $30 million each? I don’t think they’re flying high end Cessnas And I don’t know what kind of jet they’re buying for $30 million but it seems like F-16s and F-18s at the least are much more than that

  • @bender7565
    @bender7565 Před 11 měsíci

    The only time side to side was an issue was during a big heel port/starboard. F-4's and Tomcats needed 30kts over the bow. Especially in the tiny Persian Gulf all that blasting around you got a good pitch like any boat. You wouldn't feel it but the horizon was everywhere. They could time the launches for an upswing but arrestments came when it was time. You would also learn which pilots had nads and who was a pussy when the weather gets tough.

    It's particularly fascinating to observe the correlation between the stock market, the most current inflation numbers, and the instability of the banking industry. It's interesting to observe how retail investors have gravitated for digital currencies as a substitute asset at a time when faith in traditional banking is eroding. The permission-less and autonomous character of these virtual assets offers a sense of safety and value in the dynamic world of finance
