- Naval News takes you aboard USS John L. Canley (ESB 6), the newest commissioned Expeditionary Sea Base (ESB) in the U.S. Navy fleet and the sixth ship in the expeditionary mobile base platform.
We interview the Commanding Officer. Capt. Thomas Mays, as he takes us around his very large ship.
=====================
USS John L. Canley (ESB 6) was commissioned at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, California, Feb. 17, 2024.
Expeditionary Sea Base ships are highly flexible platforms used across a broad range of military operations supporting multiple operational phases. Acting as a mobile sea base, they are a part of the critical access infrastructure that supports the deployment of forces and supplies to provide prepositioned equipment and sustainment with adaptable distribution capability.
These ships support Aviation Mine Countermeasure and Special Operations Force missions. In addition to the flight deck, the ESB has a hangar with two aviation operating spots capable of handling MH-53E equivalent helicopters, accommodations, workspaces, and ordnance storage for embarked force, enhanced command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I). These ships support embarked force mission planning and execution and has a reconfigurable mission deck area to store embarked force equipment, including mine sleds and Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs).
In 2020, Former Secretary of the Navy, Kenneth J. Braithwaite, declared that the fourth ship in the ESB program be named after Medal of Honor recipient, Sgt. Maj. John L. Canley. Canley rescued more than 20 fellow Marines under enemy fire in Vietnam during the Battle of Huế City in 1968. In addition to the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest honor, Canley also receive the Bronze Star with Combat “V,” and the Purple Heart.

The ESBs are probably the most underappreciated ships out there. There sheer amount of capability they provide across so many mission areas at such a low cost is astounding.
Don't we need more of these if the unmanned concept is to become a reality. I suspect some version of these ship or another can act like a motherships for any unmanned system.
The cheap unmanned drones that can truck around the palletized weapons of your choice is probably the future. Cheap force multipliers. The AF using loyal wingman program is in the same vein. @@rickjames18
@@rickjames18the unmanned systems will be alongside manned ones, both complement each other.
They tend to become targets, requiring outsized resources to defend. I landed a few Times on the Hercules, floating base. USN.
Look up Operation Prime Chance and in Vietnam the floating bases in the Mekong River.
I never expected to be impressed by a floating garage, but here I am.
The only reason we have these is because we don't have any bases to fly ospreys into china or taiwan with 0 notice. This ship was built for war with China
First time seeing this class of ship. It’s is easy to forget how important logistics are to naval operations. The ESB is an impressive facility.
why do they need this boat when an aircraft carrier can do the same thing? This is built exclusively for floating beside an aircraft carrier, off the coast of China, and dropping thousands of marines into China per day to make them stop sending troops to Taiwan.
@@davidanalyst671this is a logistics vessel. It carries far more supplies than anything else afloat. The tanks in the hull can carry 11 million gallons of liquid… water. JP-5, whatever.
Much Respect and appreciation for the
USN ESB's!
This music is amazing! I haven't heard a beat so sick since the teacher rolled in a tv/vcr cart into the classroom in 1993
Very cool ship and the captain seems like a real good guy.
Use an existing ship design and modify it. Keep it simple, no need for endless brand new design platforms. Very cool.
no, what they don't tell you in this video is that whenever the USA navy builds a ship, it has several feet of steel surrounding the hull. a modified ship may have some armor, but nothing like what a typical navy ship has. This ship is not very cool. He said he was going to be sailing in the Pacific, and this ship is vulnerable to torpedos, and the ship was just recently commissioned with little fanfare. Put the pieces together, fester. This ship was built for war with China.
The ESB's are very impressive. Multi mission to the hilt.
Good on you Xavier that is one massive ship I hope they have a CIWS on there.
Plenty of deck space CIWS of all types can easily be fitted. The beauty of this type of ship and is its versatility. It can be whatever is needed and it keeps the enemy guessing it to what is has.
don't need a CIWS on a ship that is always going to have at least one AEGIS ship with it.
Way to go, Tom!
these ships are quite interesting. much cheaper than a traditional flat top. but i can easily see these becoming a back bone to the Navy's capability
This would be sweet to have full of various drones
Basically a drone carrier able to launch swarms. It'd be interesting to see a dedicated UAV carrier with the ability to launch hundreds of drones at any given time to compliment the traditional super carriers and landing dock platforms
We saw this ship coming down the Columbia river. Everyone on the ferry was out of their vehicles to watch it pass by. I was able to figure out the name but no one had any idea what kind if navy ship it was. Thanks for the information on this mystery!
The intro music starting at about 0:10 of this presentation gave me an LSD flashback. The crazy thing is that I've never even done LSD before.
This is HUGE SHIP!
Aircraft Carrier, BUT NOT!
What a cool ship; I appreciate the closer look at something I can see in the bay
The US has used barges before, as Navy Floating bases. And one Was Attacked by missile in about 1988. It was defended by other US Navy ships. Those barges hosted little helicopters and Seals.
What a beauty!!
Amazing engineering US, all the best for future naval techs 👏🏻
I totally appreciate the concept of these ships, for once somebody had a good idea. Was it cheaper to build a new ship instead of converting one?
why does the USA need this ship? we have aircraft carriers that perform the same functions. This was built with one purpose. The USA will float this in a carrier group in the pacific, and land thousands of marines into China and Taiwan WHILE the Aircraft carrier is launching fighters and bombers into China. This boat was built for war with China, and we just built two of them because they realized they were losing war games. sure its a good idea, but it also comes as a warning
@@davidanalyst671 It is not a carrier but a floating sea base. Technically, a sea base can be a carrier but it is more flexible and function like a true sea base with all of its flexibility. It is not designed to land Marines in China but it is build to deter China from trying to take Taiwan by force. However, it is also suited to support Naval operations elsewhere. Lastly, yes if there is a protracted war, you can expect many of these ships will be built and some variants will have larger decks designed for more air operations. What is happening is that the US and the West is beginning to realize that future conflicts may end up lasting much longer and require a mixture of high tech, medium tech and low tech. Dumb shells might not be accurate but they are cheap and their guidance can't be messed with. The Ukraine War and the Houthi's attack on shipping will change how countries plan to fight in future wars.
That’s a cool ship! I like the multi-role purpose of it.
My friend is assigned to that ship. Pretty cool to see the video of it.
Amazing design and function. Only the US could invent this! What an excellent ship. A sea base for sure. Hybrid crew....do the civilians know what they are getting into in potential attacks?
That’s a cool ship. Love the capabilities.
These are key elements of force projection and sustainment in the Indo-Pacific theater. Real Game changers.
I never expected to be impressed by a floating garage, but here I am.😁
Sounds like a great idea - very cool
Interesting concept, wonder what self defence it has n weather it can control n command with other warships if face direct missile attack?
No defenses beyond machineguns or any sophisticated electronics - those are the things that really increase the price of a ship.
This ship is a converted container ship. you are right that it looks vulnerable. If its inside a carrier group it will be pretty safe.... considering we are building it with the explicit purpose of going to war with China.
I could see this being effective with a multi-ship strike group for protection. Alone, it would be hard to protect...especially near shore and within the reach of shore based anti-ship missiles.
very neat ship. How many of the crew are Military and how many are Civilian?
well that's new to me. impressive.
Floating bases tend to become targets that require out sized resources to defend. Look up Operation Prime Chance, and the floating bases on the Mekong River in Vietnam.
I have a feeling we will be building a lot more of these ESB variants in the near future. Will the deck be updated to handle F35Bs as an alternative landing deck. Huge reserve capacity to carry missiles, drones, equipment, troops.
They need to have their decks configured to take the Naval variant of the F-35 ... Refuel ... Rearm etc
I could imagine this replacing the carrier in a strike group. It certainly is a great addition to the Navy's capabilities. Must have saved a bundle converting a tanker to this role. I am surprised that they didn't think of this way back.
The sea base idea has been around for decades. Back in the 90s, the concepts I saw were...ambitious. It's taken that long, with experimentation along the way, for the Navy to build these.
I wonder how the ESB mission set differs from an LHA.
An ESB is intended to be stationed off shore of a target area, hosting Spec Ops, small boat, and helicopter operations, over an extended time frame. Think Somalia before Blackhawk Down. Its slow and vulnerable to Surface, Submarine and Air threats, but you can park this thing offshore, and have 4 Acres of US Military base, any place there's an ocean and reasonable security from other naval threats.
A LHA, while not fast, has enough speed to keep up with a Naval Task Force (or get someplace in a hurry for an emergency), has some limited self defense ability (aside from its aircraft) and has one primary job: Kick in the door with a Battalion of Marines. It has secondary roles as a small (air to ground focused) aircraft carrier with Harriers or F-35's as well evacuating either troops & civilians or rendering disaster aid.
@@allenbt11 It can also be used in humanitarian efforts as well. As opposed to sending an aircraft carrier like we have seen in the past with katrina for example. Because of the modular mission deck, the ESB is more useful in these situations assuming the conex based systems are accessible. Plus it frees up the carriers for other duties. The use cases for the ESB as a platform is larger, in its effectiveness, than any other ship.
@@Pyromanemac Good point. A lot of secondary missions. It is good anyplace you can use a US Base offshore.
Totally different. An ESB can accommodate a couple hundred people and a handful of aircraft and has no sophisticated defenses or electronics. An LHA can accommodate 1600 Marines for long-term deployments, along with two dozen helicopters and fighter aircraft with fuel and munitions for fairly extensive operations, and has extensive medical and maintenance facilities. An LHA also has extremely capable self-defense sensors and weapons.
Are they similar in role to the mother ships in vietnam. That were hq vessels for navy patrol vessels up the river systems
Why are there so many littoral combat in port? Waiting for the scrapper ?
Why "ESB 6" if it is the fourth, not the Sixth Ship of the class?
Drone Carriers
Build Lots And Lots And Lots
( And Constellation Class Frigates )
Squids are berthed in normal Navy style. The civilians get luxury accommodations.
The real question is, can they reload VLS cells at sea?
Máquina formidável.
There has to be some more to this story ... it would appear all this could easily be taken care of by carriers and other vessels. Perhaps this will be a drone.
It's massive! US naval ingenuity at its finest. They really learned from past wars. I don't think any foe will be up to par with the US experience in modern warfare.
This is a USNS ship and is run by USN and merchant marines I believe. I might be wrong someone wanna check this? They didn't have when I was in. Awesome ship tho! Great concept.
Edit: I shoulda listened a few minutes in I believe he explained just that. Duh.
I wonder why both Civilian and Military are Crew? I can anticipate some problems with 2 different crew not getting along.
As queued by a Naval officer: “There are two types of Naval vessels - submarines and targets.”
As for defense, it would never be alone. Add the ever increasing numbers of UAVs of a variety of types. I would not want to mess with it. "Hey, our EBS is in danger!" Then step out of the way.
Interesting, but the background muzak is way too loud. It should be at a subliminal level.
Does it raise and lower its waterline so small boats can drive in and out through that open deck?
Yes
Nobody ever asks how all those supplies get to the flight deck to be delivered.
I was wondering the same thing. I noticed what appeared to be an elevator
Meanwhile, the Russian Army still hasn’t learned how to utilize wooden pallets in forward areas. You know…state of the art logistics in WWI.
I feel like these ships could be a solid model for other NATO nations navies. A cheap way to get "aircraft carrier" capabilities and be a flexible support vessel for other member nations.

The Skipper must have been nervous. The USMC does not fly the MH-53E, the NAVY does. The Sea Knight (CH-46) has been retired for about 10 years now.
Where is the ships self defense systems? CWIS for example.
so the..... USMC is under the army now? kinda confused.
How did this Skipper get promoted to this point. Also, the minesweeping mission with the MH-53E is sunsetting. The aircraft is retiring and no replacement is happening.
i'm a Plankowner of USS Ronald Reagan. if this is the third largest flight deck, that is one huge staging area, not gonna lie.
if they ever "reimagine" or whatever Harriers, could this support Ospreys and Harriers, as well?
Well they have reimagined Harriers - it's called the F-35B. The only trouble is it has a tendency to melt flight decks.
@@FinsburyPhil F-35B has Vertical Take-Off and Landing? 🤔 cool. perhaps, the materials used to non-skid the flight deck can be adjusted to accomodate.
@@GooseandClover It takes a bit more than that - 40,500 lb of thrust directed downward just a few feet off of the deck at 1,700 degrees F and near Mach 1 velocity. It needs special steel.
@@FinsburyPhil ah ok. thank you for your input. ☺️
Imagine having a dozen of these just rotating into theater
The navy version of the man cave.
Forklift Carrier.
Bring back boondockers n dungarees eh
Goodusshishm
Seems like this ship could be hard to sink. I could see sea skimming missiles just flying through it and the flight deck taking the brunt of other incoming missiles. Without out doing any real harm to the integrity of the ship. Maybe someone with more knowledge could weigh in on this design.
Aim for the rear of the Ship where the Engines and Bridge is.
I was very interested in watching this video but I'm sorry to say i couldn't stand the background music. Too loud, in my honest opinion.
Given Ukraine's successes with uncrewed sea drones, sinking now multiple Russian warships how vulnerable are these?
I used over the counter to recover pills and topical and restored my immunity military immunity is different from civilian my food is different and my smell is different
"larger than the CDG" CDG aint even that large for a carrier lol
Get rid of that music
coverted oil tankers turned into floating aircraft garages. Sounds very sinkable..... and slow ..... like all cargo ships. All your eggs in one basket. when they lose this ship in combat.. it will be a BIG LOSS... I believe having many smaller ships is the way to go.. because in combat they will lose alot of ships.
LSTs in WWII were slow as well. Many were lost in the typhoons in the Pacific ('44,'45), due to the storms. If the cost is cheap enough, it might be a better option for quantity/availability.
This will hang back behind the protection of other ships. It can carry an enormous amount of water and fuel.
Let's see how DEI does in combat...
it's been doing just fine since the red ball express

Can't watch. Music's crap.
A bonified cargo ship used for military purposes.
The Lewis B. Puller-class is actually based on the hull of the civilian Alaska-class oil tanker.
@@NavalNews Thank you for the clarification
The first two ships were made to offload equipment with a USNS RO-RO ship. Next to it by a bridge ship to ship. Having LCAC and LCU taking equipment to the beach has they are safe off shore.
With unmanned assets, now it could be a base for them.
@@Terryray123 I am a retired decorated Naval Sailor. However, thank you for the lesson

Just 11% of US males ages 16 to 21 express any interest in joining the military. Source Navy Times.. The US military has gone woke, and the leadership is responsible.
And that has what to do with this?? And since you are tossing numbers out only 5% of the US population has even served in the military. And BTW 'going woke' just means a person is aware of whats going on around them, not a bad thing in my book. [and yes I am a multi generational military service member on both sides of the family. Wife and I both served as officers in nam, fun times.]
I'm retired military, 38 years US Navy combat vet, multiple deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Former Yugoslavia, Africa and I am as you say "woke". What does that really mean? Being "woke" as you would say means I am enlightened to the facts that everyone is different in their own way and everyone deserves respect regardless of what they believe or how they identify. That means I respect your right Mr. @raywhitehead730 to self identify as a narrow minded asshole. I don't want to jump to conclusions but I assume you identify as an asshole because of the ignorant uninformed comment you made that has absolutely nothing to do with this fine well produced informative video. The strength of our armed forces is now and always has been it's diversity.
