that was the smoothest ass transition to a sponsership
@Mohtellawi
Bro didnt only animate an air craft carrier, but its guardian ships, the engine, how nuclear reaction works, and the components of defense systems! Well done

I am a former crew member of a CVN. you got it mostly correct, good job. Navy doesn't operate F-16 off carriers though. Also the radar range is much further than 300 miles once you take into account the ships E-2 Hawkeye aircraft that make its vision range much much further. The aircraft it carries increase her capabilities by factors.

I served on the Nimitz, 1977-1981, electrician in the engine compartments, don’t remember any electric motor driving the propeller shafts. They are driven by turbines, which are driven by steam. The shafts are huge, and extend hundreds of feet, and they twist under the tremendous torque. I was on board when they filmed, “The Final Countdown”. We had to go to sea for a couple weeks just for the film. Anyway, no electric motors driving the shafts.
@ThePiGuy2
Nice... like the video! I especially like how smooth the transition to the sponsor was.

I'm a former crew member of a CVN. You got most of it right—nice job. Just a couple of clarifications: the Navy doesn’t operate F-16s from aircraft carriers, and the radar range is actually much greater than 300 miles, especially when you factor in the E-2 Hawkeye. That aircraft significantly extends the carrier’s vision and situational awareness. In fact, the air wing as a whole multiplies the carrier’s capabilities dramatically.

Man, pretty spot on description of pressurized water reactors. The 2 A4W (Aircraft Carrier, 4th Core Design, Westinghouse) reactors on board are rated at 550 MW each. They require a refueling, called a Reactor Compartment Overhaul (RCOH) just once in the 50 year operational lifetime of the ship. One thing I’d like to add to your excellent description of how they operate is that there are two distinct water loops; The primary and secondary loops. The primary is the high pressure, high temperature water that transfers heat from the reactor. The secondary is the low pressure side that boils into steam, does useful work, and is condensed back into water. The loops are isolated from each other physically, transferring heat through “U-tubes” in the steam generators while maintaining containment of contaminated water. Of the eight turbine generators you mentioned, four of those power the reactor coolant pumps and four are for ship’s load. There’s also something like eight diesel generators for emergencies, but don’t quote me on that. I was a reactor operator on CVN-75, USS Harry S. Truman from 2013-2016, a rewarding albeit stressful experience. Excellent job on the video!

What I liked the most was the helicopters turning blades while on the elevators
@GeorgeEstregan828
There's so much overhead space at the hangar deck. You could build a net platform overhead for people to sleep at. Hehe
@ronhicks9014
During my time in the Navy i never saw the F-16's on a carrier. i did four years onboard the Kitty Hawk
@janisbosse455
On the Nimitz class the propellers are driven by the turbine and only on the ford class are there generators between the propellers and the turbines. Still great work over all👌
@FaresAzzouni
7:20 F16 !?!?!?!?! WHAT
@rorymajors2504
Your Step 6 in the operation of the reactors is inaccurate. There is no electric motor on the shaft driven by the reduction gears. The core also doesn’t act as a “miniature sun” as that is a fusion reaction whereas a reactor is a fission reaction.
@yojimbo3681
You guys have outdone yourselves this time, bravo!
@JasperMorgan1
NIMITZ? DO FORD CLASS - you know, the new one.
@amazonbest-productss
holy cow finally AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER VIDEO FROM AITELLY !!!!!
@movieviewing
As many are going to say on here f16 do not take off from a aircraft carrier
@spongememefunnypants9101
FINALLY! I've been waiting for this one! Thank you so much and amazing video as always!
@FreeRideMadu
Carrier with its Strike Group is god like power for USA. Iam Happy for the world, that it is the US and not some crazy country we see now. Iam an Indian living in Germany and Iam proud, that India has a Carrier too to protect its oceans. Thankyou to all for serving our country and protecting our free world. Thankyou.
