The fight deck of an aircraft carrier is the most dangerous place in the fleet. Every hand signal and moment have meaning. Otherwise you couldn't safely conduct FLIGHT OPS.

@@semosancus5506 I struck up a conversation with a man sitting next to me on a plane who let me know he was a yellow shirt on a carrier flight deck (guys who guide aircraft on the deck). I asked where he was from and he said Montana of all places (never had seen the ocean before joining the US Navy)! He said that the actual wartime operational tempo on a carrier is a guarded secret. However, what he did say was that "we can get those sons' a' bitches loaded, laid, and launched faster than anyone could imagine; without seeing it, you wouldn't believe it". I'll never forget the cocky, fox-like grin on his face when he said it and I remember feeling happy/inspired/proud for some reason. Despite being Army myself, I think I felt like this because I thought it great that brother branches have the same grounded arrogance/confidence in their combat ability; a confidence that has been earned and tested, not empty or an idle boast.

Some of my earliest memories were of my mother, brother and me, all getting dressed up, and meeting my father's B-47 squadron as they returned from Japan, Turkey, Germany, Guam, etc... Watching those huge, noisy airplanes taxi right up to us, and our father getting out (after another eternity), and coming over (holding his flight bag and helmet), and hugging us. Can't imagine what it would be like on a carrier! I have nothing but admiration for these wonderful people.

Been there and done that! I worked on the flight deck of the USS Independence, CV-62 back in 1974 and it doesn't look like much has changed. IMO, landings were tougher than launching the birds and night ops were even tougher. I admire the men and women (we didn't have women at sea back then) that work on the flight deck.

Both night and day one group would take off and right after another would be landing. The synchronicity of the flight deck crew was amazing and never got tired of watching them work.

Aboard my Destroyer during a MED deployment, we were often assigned as plane guard. We took station 1,000 yards astern of the birdfarm. We were off the midpoint aligned with the center-line of the angled flight deck, Each bird flew directly over our mast as we were in effect the outer marker, day or night, smooth or stormy, clear or rainy, One night about 0300 (3 AM), I was OOD, when the birdfarm called us on the radio to announce: "Standby, one of our birds is sick." We had a rescue team resting inside the ship in wet suits with special J-blade knives to cut parachute harnesses and parachute lines - if need be. Soon we could hear the sick bird. It was an F-4 and its compressor was spooling up and down gulping for air and fuel. Our rescue guys were at the ship's rail watching. The F-4 made it to the deck. The radio came aloud as the birdfarm tower announced: "BIRD SAFE in the NEST. - THANKS"

We did our jobs on the roof of USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14) 16 hours a day (or night), 7 days a week for up to a couple months at a time between liberty ports during combat ops in the Gulf of Tonkin, 1966-70. In each of the usual eight strike sorties per day, around 25 attack and fighter a/c and 5 support birds (tankers, strike control, ResCAP) would be launched and then recovered about 90 minutes later. This was 50 years ago and to this day I remember every minute. Average age of around 20. The finest navy in the world.

We even had an old C-47 that we used for mail runs. I first thought, how can anyone sleep in all of this? After a month I couldn't sleep without it. Caught a hop on that old Skytrain coming back to base, blew an engine over open water, trimmed it out, and came in smooth as you please, although the flights that held up for us didn't care for it. I loved it. At the time, I didn't realize how much.

He was the docking officer for Newport shipyards. I was hoping the Kennedy would be in port and take the kids on it but it was deployed. But my friend was a plank owner of the Roosevelt and set up a tour of it for me and my family as it sat tied to pier 12. Kids were excited but I was over joyed to be able to be back on a carrier one more time.

I was fortunate enough to be invited on board the USS Forrestal (sadly dubbed the Forrestfire by some in the Navy because of the horrendous fire onboard in the 1970s) as a civilian aviation photographer in 1991 for a week. No better way to get a bigger respect for what these men (and women now) do around the clock for 6 months in a row. Witnessing night launches in the pitch dark from the safety of Vulture's row made me realize even more hoe they risk their lives ast the job more than anybody else... Emphasized the next day by walking on the slippery deck myself and almost getting my head separated by a wing fuel tank of an S-3 Viking on the catwalk when I didn't scoot low enough when it was launched. Too focused on taking another great shot. A split second of not paying attention and you're history. Compare to your job and the most dangerous thing you're facing there on a daily basis, an exploding coffee pot in the rec room. I left on that Sunday evening with an ernormous respect for all of them and still feel that way 28 years later.

I think this is one of my very favorite things, watching those F/A-18s taking off and landing on a carrier, just has my rapt attention! I'd guess that catapult is steam-force with those little stem-clouds rolling along the deck! What I don't get to see but can imagine, is landing on what looks like a postage-stamp in the middle of the ocean when they're coming down to the runway on a deck that is pitching up and down 15 degrees! It takes super-competent pilots to do that in those Super-Hornets! Blue skies to all of them!

if you're referring to the guy sitting down in the green jersey, he's setting steam pressure for the cat based on weight and wind ... very important guy for sure ... he takes a bit of beating but the brave guys are the cat spotters under the plane so close to the intakes ... must be very careful not to make a misstep or have your head up your ass

I was at sea aboard the USS Midway during the Vietnam War. We conducted alpha strikes on multiple targets. As it was we had night time air operations and as a crew member, myself, felt very fortunate not having any job on that flight deck at night. I don't know how those men did it every night at the beginning of our line period. The tonnage of bombs during what was called, Operation Linebacker was incredible. The ship's recovery of planes at night was even more dangerous. Man those pilots had guts!
