Podul este unul dintre cele mai importante locuri de pe un portavion; dar, unii marinari își pot petrece întregul tur al serviciului pe un portavion fără să pună piciorul vreodată în această zonă anume. Este strict interzisă intrarea în această zonă. De ce majoritatea membrilor echipajului marinei nu ajung niciodată pe pod? Podul este centrul principal de comandă și control al transportatorului; de aici, căpitanul și alți ofițeri pot gestiona toate activitățile navei. Podul este locul unde căpitanul stă împreună cu navigatorul și toți ofițerii de pe punte și restul echipei de pază însărcinată cu conducerea navei și să stea departe de pericole. În cele mai multe cazuri, este situat într-o locație care oferă o vedere fără obstacole, precum și acces direct la cele mai importante părți ale unei nave. Podul este la câteva niveluri sub Pri-fly în suprastructura transportatorului. Este strict interzis accesul oricui, altul decât personalul autorizat, pe Pod, iar toate protocoalele de operare trebuie respectate cu exactitate în orice moment. Acesta este unul dintre motivele pentru care unii marinari din Marina SUA ar putea să nu intre niciodată pe Pod cu un transportator. Deoarece Podul unui portavion este inima navei, există proceduri stricte cu privire la cine are voie să intre în compartiment. Podul găzduiește, de asemenea, echipamentul principal de direcție, hărțile de navigație, sistemele de comunicații, controlul motorului și alte funcții. Pe anumite poduri există și aripi de pod învecinate, care sunt folosite pentru depozitarea utilajelor pentru propulsoarele de pupa și de prova. Aceste aripi se extind dincolo de camera principală a podului și oferă o vedere a zonelor înconjurătoare care este clară și nestingherită în toate direcțiile. #aircraftcarrier #sailors #usnavy _________________________________________________________________ 🚢 Despre YVMA Productions YVMA Productions explică cum funcționează lumea pe mare.

When the Nimitz was in dry dock in the 90's I was a fire watch and went to every nook and cranny on that ship. The most boring job, you are looking at a wall for eight hours a day. One person with the welder and one person on the other side of the wall where ever that is. I would not have been to many of those places if I was not a fire watch.
As part of the MarDet, USS Coral Sea, 77-80 I had the opportunity to drive the ship. Our Captain’s orderly made it possible. Not an easy job and only did it for about 10 minutes but will never forget. Remember having the hookup to call home while at sea also. It was a great time for me and enjoyed everyday onboard her.
I'm a soldier rather than a sailor so I can't say for absolute certain, but I think the very last part of this video may be a little bit off the mark… Don't get me wrong, I've seen plentiful accounts of ships using/repurposing their (ludicrously) high pressure seawater pumps, fire suppression systems, 250 litre per second water monitors (be they fixed position, electronically controlled mechanically actuated, or swung in to position by some guy named Lee who's five feet tall and six feet wide), and that kind of thing to keep speedboat attacks/Somali pirates at bay, and I've no reason to doubt those stories for a single second.
It's just that I'd imagine some guys in a skiff having a conversation that goes "habidi babidi capture vessel bibidi babidi U S Aircraft carrier habidi babidi I am the captain now bibidi bobidi A K forty seven"… Eh, I don't know. It just strikes me that those guys would have significantly bigger things to worry about than a quick squirt with a garden hose.
Thanks for this educational video. Excellent narration.
I was a navigator. I spent half my adult life on the bridge. It’s nothing special. It’s just part of the overall operation.
Anyone can go on the bridge. It’s no big deal. A few at a time is no problem.
If you ever get invited to tiger cruise, go.. even if you are an adult, if you are just interested in ships in general its great.. i went as a kid, not knowing how a lot of that stuff worked.. i was blown away at the level of technology (went in the early 90s lol).
Why? because they have no reason to be there… You're in the Navy to defend America, not to go on a sight seeing tour, if your function doesn't require you to be there, you're not gonna get to go there. saved you 8 minutes.
Not their job location. Why would a cook need to go to the bridge? Duh!
The lady has the binoculars ❤
😮😂
"Reasons Why US Navy Sailors Never Get On The Bridge Of An Aircraft Carrier" So USAF Airmen are on the bridge of a carrier?
????? There is no safe on the bridge of ANY US warship. Where did that nonsense come from?
Fascinating stuff! Thanks for sharing. My 3 brothers in law were all Navy.
I went to the bridge a few times, some for NGFS direct spotting and to ask bridge to slow down a few knots to load forward CIWS.
As a sailor on an aircraft carrier (assigned to gunner division). Any sailor CAN be assigned for duty on the bridge. Duty there was on a rotation schedule for all divisions. From E3 through E5, I steered the ship at numerous 4 hour duty assignments while crossing the pacific – even during a typhoon! Simulator? hahaha…it was hands on from the beginning with one and ONLY won objective in mind. Keep the compass on the heading no matter what.
money is stored in a safe in the ships office, passports are the responsibility of each crew member
Was staying in Virginia Beach for vacation and one of my mom's friend's husband was/is an ordinance officer on the USS Harry S Truman, which was in Norfolk for maintenance at the time if I remember right. Got to tour the magazines, walk the flight deck, and go up to the bridge. Had to leave our phones in his office when we went down to the magazines but was able to take many pictures of the hangers and the bridge. It was awesome. He did get a bit salty when I mentioned the Gerald Ford class though lol
I was an underwater welder on USS Kissmyass in the 80s. We went to the bridge for pissups
I love this Navy I could go crew one day it's my dream and I really love this review trip
Spent 8 years in the navy on 2 ships. The bridge is open to anyone. I used to go up to the bridge just to look at the chart and c where in the ocean we were at.
It does not store any cash there .
Passports?
Never saw, or heard of the first passport on any ship I was on.
AO3 (WEPS-G-3), ABRAHAM LINCOLN, CVN-72 (1997-2001)….Ummmm, unless you had to be up there you didn't want to go on the "bridge"..I went up there twice my whole time on the boat. Once when we were in Bremerton working on the..Before that, it were several months prior going to Captain's Mask while we were on WESTPAC (1998). I had absolutely the best time while I was in the NAVY. Regardless, the ups & downs. I had an absolute blast…
It is not forbidden, you got to ask or have been told to report there. It is a warship not a cruise ship. You are not there to see the sights. There are places on a U.S. warship you will never get in. Void spaces; certain ordnance rooms; and the communications room(s) they do encryption in there and if you see what is going on in there, you got trouble. For the most part, you got where you are told to go by your Chief(s) and Petty Officers.
LOT OF SAILORS ON DUTY ON BRIDGE TO ASSIST
This is the case on just about every navy ship, not just the aircraft carrier. And it's not limited to the Bridge. CIC is probable more limited than the Bridge. Basically, if you don't work there or have business there, don't be there. If you're unlucky you might get a self guided tour of the different ship spaces while on the hunt for battery's for the sound powered phones.🤣
Worked comms was always on the bridge, signalmen and quartermasters were on the bridge.
To be fair there are lots of places on a ship that are not duty station you will never visit. The number one reason, you will be in the way and as every sailor knows the worst thing you can do is be in the way, especially around the top brass. second, you're not supposed to be there and you get in the way. And, what will be your excuse? "Well I was curious , like driving by two burning oil tankers on the road and saying, hey lets stop and check this out". If the Captain invites you, well who is the brass ball person that will say to the Captain, gee Caps waz going on?" And, that, salty dawgs, is the way the sea biscuit crumbles.
Isn't that like asking most factory workers why they have never been in the CEOs office?
As an aviation machine-mate (AD) enlisted, I had no reason nor any desire to ever set foot into the Bridge of any surface combatants. Especially the Carrier! No thanks not for me! Too many "O"s present.
No place for a Nuke. I'd rather be in the Engineroom with high-pressure steam, rotating equipment, and nuclear reactors than being anywhere near the flight deck!
I was a nuke EM on an SSN for over four years. Any crewmember could visit the engineering spaces. We told them to just let the watchstanders know you're there and DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!!!!
I enjoyed explaining the engineroom stuff to the forward personnel.
It was all business in the back part of the boat.
I am currently a Boatswains mate aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln CVM-72. And I’m up on the bridge every day while we’re out to sea
Our navy keeps disappearing while Communist China's navy keeps expanding. Typical American stupidity.
lol, you made it sound a lot more mysterious than it is. I mean, it's kind of common sense that if you don't work on the bridge, you wouldn't just be walking around in there shooting the shit with guys. I was on a Spruance class, I was a DS, so we maintained the radar consoles, among other things, and I would occasionally have to go to the bridge when we were underway to check on any issues with the console. Didn't happen a lot, but when it did, I had a reason to be there. In port, tied to the pier, you could go up and check out the bridge, that wasn't a big deal on my ship. I took my wife up there so she could see it once, nobody cared, but, it was empty, since we were in port.
I was on the Bridge all the time and I was wasn't Bridge staff. I come in the port side Bridge wing.
WRONG … It's not possible to get your SW qualification without going on the bridge
I was never barred access to the bridge on all three of my ships. (1 large deck amphib and two destroyers).
When on a war games on the USS Forrestal going from Norfolk, Va. to Jacksonville, Fl. and back I was invited to the bridge by the Admiral and Capt. to come to the bridge and watch the launching of Aircraft and it was amazing! Additionally the Capt. later called down to our ops space and invited us to watch the trapping of aircraft but I had the watch so could not attend this invitation. We were on there temporary-duty with the Communications Crypto detachment and did not play well with the regular Navy guys. VBG LOL
The short game play shown, or "simulator" as it's implied, is called Carrier Command 2. It is on Steam, and really a great game.
2 mins in and you have repeated the same information no less than 3 times. no thanks.
Easy, they do not need to go to the bridge. It is not an observation deck for passengers.
I IMAGINE THERE ARE ENLISTED PEOPLE MOPPING FLOORS AND CLEANING TOILETS!
THE REAL DISCRIMINATION IN THE MILITARY IS AGAINST LOW RANKING
ENLISTED BEING DENIED ACESS TO GOLF COURSES AND OTHER RECREATIONAL AREAS!!
AT FORT SHERIDAN ILLINOIS , ANOTHER RESERVES RECRUIT AND MYSELF WERE DENIED OUR CRANE OPERATING TRAINING, AND WERE INSTEAD PLACED ON TWO TRACTORS AND MOWERS AND SPENT THE SUMMER MOWING THE OFFICERS GOLF COURSE, WHICH WE COULD NOT ENJOY IN OUR OFF DUTY TIMES!
IT IS NOT JUST THE RUSSIAN ARMY SENDING UNTRAINED TROOPS IN HARMS WAY,THE USA WAS DOING THIS SHIT IN 1964!!
"…as well as the most important parts of the ship…"
Like the Booze Locker.
Seems like from these comments a lot of sailors go on the bridge of an aircraft carrier.
This is true on all naval vessels.
The Captain. Not a one man operation. Captain 0-5. The door of Admiral.
Who is in control? The Captain.
CVIC is more locked down
