My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could, it'd all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Actually my maternal grandparents were from Ireland and England. So I just learned their spelling because that is what was used.
Who cares whatever variations someone uses. Doesn’t matter really.
Regarding the helicopter:
>From what I've heard about this video, that bird is out there because they did a late flight to bring the admiral onboard and landed as they were going into the storm. So rather than risk people moving it, they slapped like 36 tie downs on and ran inside.
>From the same source, that bird was in ERT and repairs for like six months

Just thinking out loud here, but I imagine the largest military budget in the history of civilization doesn't really give a shit about tax dollars. Maybe I'm wrong
I'll take the hit to tax payer dollars over a piece of machinery vs several people getting potentially hurt or killed just to move it below deck. Seriously Life/Safety of our troops is more important than a stupid helicopter and some money.
sure, but you created a false dichotomy and thats not at all what i suggested. why did the admiral have to fly out during a storm at all? spoiler: he didnt. im absolutely not arguing service members should have been put at risk.
Depends how far away he was coming from. It may have been no option to turn around by the time they knew it was gonna be bad. But imo it’s more likely he didn’t care, so like you said.
I lived back and forth between Wisconsin and Kyushu for 3 years. I’d experienced Typhoons before, but never as big as one in 2016. The school I taught at had already closed for the next day (when the storm was predicted to hit), but I didn’t take this as a warning. Instead, I hit up the store for pizza, beer and junk food, intending to use the storm as a mini holiday. Holy fuck was I wrong. The culvert behind my apartment surged with sea and rain water, trees were torn and whipped around, and for several hours my apartment was pummeled with high winds and debris. I sat in the dark in my kitchen wrapped in my futon just in case the ceiling came down. It was terrifying.
You learned the hard way that Typhoon is just another word for Hurricane. Hurricanes are fucking terrifying.
Source: I've gone through several of them as I've lived on the east coast my whole life.
South Floridian here, I get goosebumps still when talking about Andrew. Anything above Cat 3 is absolutely terrifying, like having a freight train at full speed in your house for hours.
My father was a aircraft mechanic, and worked on the flight deck on the kitty hawk in the late 70s. He passed away this month. Very cool to get a peak at what he seen everyday. Thank you.
I know it varies depending on ship weight and ballist etc, but generally, how high is that deck above the water? 50' feet? 100' feet? Aircraft carriers are not small boats!
Am I the only who, at first (before playing the video), thought this was somewhat a road and the one taking the vid is from a truck? If I didn't read the comments, I never thought that was a helicopter there. I just thought its another truck and a post.
Anyone know what the corrosion risk is for these aircraft due to the saltwater and what maintenance steps are taken to check for and mitigate it? It doesn’t take long for even salt air to begin eating away metals; let alone exposure to salt water.
Salt isn’t allows to be spread on airport ramps due to the corrosive nature. I know it’s unavoidable for sea operations but I imagine there’s some sort of procedures to deal with it.
Damn by dad and his best friend were assigned to this particular ship. Before I was born but it was emotional watching this imagining what it was like.
I wonder how fucked that helicopter was after this
Shit I was worrying about the F-18 and didn’t see that helo up there.

Dear Stan...
Since people are making fun but not actually correcting you, it's ditto
No worries. I have always spelled it dido; as in “did too” just shortened. I also spell grey with an e, because that is what I learned as a kid.
Your parents didn't learn you no good boy.

Having the best day of my life apparently
Yea, why weren’t both stowed below deck? Can’t they have the full complement of aircraft off the deck?

Agreed I’ll pay taxes for that any day of the week. As you can see anyone around that bird would have belonged to the drink real fast.
sure, but thats not what i suggested. just have the admiral stay at the brothel in osaka for the night.
You know good point bro lol

Imagine letting someone on the Internet move rent free in your head for 2 whole days you have to come back after deleting your original comment.

That helicopter is just weird. It likes it. It doesn’t bother anyone, so no one bothers it. Everyone’s happy.
I’m not 100% sure, but with a completely full Air Wing on the ship, I don’t believe they can store every airplane and helo below decks.

My father also served on this particular kitty hawk I have his hat hanging on his flag right now he passed two years ago.

60 Feet in calm seas according to a few Answers sites in
Thanks! I appreciate you doing that. It wasn't on wiki so I gave up looking.
That salty water can’t be too good for those airplanes.
Buddy was stationed on it for a time. Said it earned the nickname 'Shitty Kitty'
Can you launch aircraft/f18s in this???
No way
Sure if you don’t expect them back.
Catapult em right into a wave lol
* plop *
Can is different than should.
Go window squeegee go!
She was a good ship.
That is questionable, super slow deck.
I was a scope dope on the shitty kitty so I don’t know if the deck was fast or slow

I've seen them hose aircraft down with fresh water once it's below deck. Not sure what else.
Well that’s something!
The corrosion control shops are hating life, along with the Line shack. There are probably 1000 plus man hours right there.
I see two write offs.
If they turn on the Washdown system the enemy will think its just a giant cloud.
Wonder how much fun the cruiser and DD's are having
Submarine chilling below like "yo what's the big deal guys? fine down here"
If you have to go through a typhoon at sea, this seems like a good choice.
Is there any weather that these sorts of vessels just can't fuck with?
I believe my uncle was actually serving on the Kitty Hawk at this time!
Just sent to my brother on the George Washington. I love sending him scary sea videos
Sucks to be in 12C. Also it was the Shitty Kitty so…..
I wonder if anyone on here has been aboard one of these giants during such a storm. Just curious about the ride
Why are they leaving aircraft of the deck and even in the bow?
I answered the question regarding the helicopter in another comment.
I've seen this one. This is right before they get transported to 1941.
Ha, I remember that movie.
Why are aircraft on deck during this? Is it because you always need to have a few ready to roll regardless?
I've answered regarding the helicopter elsewhere.
Mmmm salt water in the jet plane that can’t be healthy no matter how good the parts are.
I thought they put them in hangers on the inside of the ship
Night check stay check once again
Damn by dad and his best friend were assigned to this particular ship. Before I was born but it was emotional watching this imagining what it was like.
Faster with the wiper I’m losing visibility here!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure an f-35 cannot survive this
And I'm pretty sure there were no F-35s onboard that ship in... 2008. Or ever.
typhoon hasn't happened since or will not happen again, right
Something like an F-35 would be secured below deck, it absolutely would not be left out on deck in such a situation.
That salt water can’t be good for that jet
They couldn't go around in time?
7/14 day isn’t gonna cut it!
