Sounds from the USS Nimitz

I’ve given you pictures and videos from my DV embark on the USS Nimitz.  How about some of the sounds from the ship?

This first one is boring. It’s the continual drone you hear during the COD flight. This is without ear protection. It’s loud. And it’s non-stop. Can you imagine listening to this for hours each day?

Once on-board, Commanding Officer Jeff Ruth greeted our tour. Here’s what he had to say.

On the flight deck, there’s so much activity carried out by various personnel. The colors of their shirts designate their roles. The Mini Boss on the Nimitz explains the roles.

Every morning, the crew is awoken by reveille.

Petty Officer Gonzalez explains how the arresting cables work to land aircraft going full throttle. This is only a short snippet. If you want more, watch the YouTube video.
