1. to fight the submarine we must become the submarine

2. Is it me or do Arleig h Burke class rock and roll even in calmer waters.Ex RN

3. Thank you for sharing this footage.

4. I was flying alongside Stennis when she dipped her nose into a few waves. Blue water all the way up to the flight deck.

5. Meanwhile, on the carrier… "You feel something…nah, my imagination."

6. American made baby!

7. This something that I love about modern warships. The line between destroyers, frigates, cruisers blurs with each new update brought to any one of them. And now, we're starting to reach the point where they can even become submarines!

8. Looks very nautical.

9. There is NOTHING like being on a DDG in rough seas next to a carrier.
   The carrier rides smoothly along while we would go from two stories below them to waving at them eye to eye.
   Living for days on end when your world moves up and down and rocks side to side is exhausting, exhilarating and unforgettable.
   The salts easily walk down the passage way going from deck to bulkhead and back down to the deck without missing a step.

10. Having served on a DDG, it's a fun ride.

11. That was nothing. We buried the entire bow of a Knox class Frigate under 6 feet of water a few times. You start to wonder if maybe you're on a submarine and nobody told you. LOL

12. …and she stuffed it, we’re going to have to give haulover the win.

13. I was on a Destroyer for a brief training duty. I learned that about the time you think you have emptied everything out of your stomach, here comes some more!

14. I've never served and I appreciate those that do/did. Let me tell you about this one time in my bathtub my dingy took a nose dive like that. Best day of my life. What a ride.

15. Did a lot of those crossing the Atlantic in Feb. of '64 .. aboard the USS Goodrich DDR-831 . That is why they are called 'Galloping Greyhounds.'

16. Weapons maintenance 🫠😪

17. US weapons are freedom

18. A cant understand a damn word he's saying.

19. Baby waves for a DDG, destroyers take waves much deeper than that, enough to take green water over signal bridge, one level above bridge, it’s a hellava ride. Hoo-yah !

20. Sometimes aboard carriers the only way you knew you were moving was to look outside the elevator portals and watch the horizon move up and down

21. Been there, done that…Miss that.

22. How does it not sink?

23. We move

24. Gung Ho 😎

25. I'm so old I was there for my dads ship USS-Doyle FFG-39 to be commissioned and I was there for her decommissioning. The goat locker on the Doyle was pretty sweet.

26. Back in 1981 we hit a major storm returning from ( Iran Hostage Crisis) "Contingency" operations in Africa, Diego Garcia, etc. I was aboard the USS Barbour County (LST 1195). For all your sailors out there you know it's probably the smallest vessel in the fleet, (water hours sucked!) Anyway, we are heading towards Perth Australia for some R&R and en-route we hit a major storm that required all hands below deck. Me and one of my team leaders sneak out and view the deck from the stern. The forcastle is open right through so you can view the entire deck stern to bow. Water spraying from everywhere, and the frigging deck was bending like a wet noodle. Freaked us out and got back down below. The noise below was a bit nerve wracking when the ship hit a major wave, making the ship shake and shutter. My brain is now recalling a lot as I type this so I'll add a side note. After we left Perth for Okinawa, a stowaway, female Australian was discovered in the forward anchor room. I recall seeing her being escorted by a lot of brass after they found her. Apparently a sailor was bringing her food and I believe the plan was to make it to Hawaii and get married. The sailor didn't collect $200 and went directly to the brig. We were close to Okinawa and they got her on a helicopter within hours, and flew her to command at Okinawa.

27. Well now that I’m deaf

28. Fire a couple of shots at that tin can and watch how smooth it becomes. Be up your ass before you get your pants down.

29. Would hate to be trying to put on make-up while that was happening. Cue the make-up scene from 1980's"Airplane" 🤣

30. Makes you understand why there are "Master Welders" that build these ships.

31. I was on a DLG and don't remember where it was, but we were in some rough seas and a DD pulled up along side doing some impressive nosedives. The same day I saw a sub breach on an emergency surface drill. Wild stuff.

32. Love the look of that clipper now.
