Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel for a feature on the role the Hangar of an aircraft carrier plays, not only as a space to store and maintain the assets, but also as a training ground for the thousands of carrier's residents.
I'm impressed they have engine test cells onboard. And if mechanics are actually disassembling turbine fans and rebuilding back... that's VERY impressive!
The individual discipline required for all those people to get along is admirable.
64,65,66 two cruises off Vietnam. Lots of things left out of this video. I was an engineering officer, long months at sea.
Video said there was more than one mess area. My ship originally had two, but the forward mess deck had been turned into a bomb assembly area. 5,000 guys through to lines! Very interesting operations and did get to places I'd have never been able to. Planes would come back full of holes.
Bullet holes were "fixed" with a piece of tape and rattle can of grey paint. Bigger holes, snip out a sheet of aluminum and pop rivets, rattle can. Go fly that thing at 100's of mph! Some never came back.
Imagine the Engineering that goes into the construction of an Aircraft Carrier. And all the planes and jets.
And all the maintenance that is required. Just a tremendous operation that requires such great skills and training of all of our service members too. They all do such a great job.
