Great video, and I am always humbled by the work and dedication when I see these young men and women working together under such extreme conditions.

That said, every time I see one of these pieces, I wind up with In the Navy by the Village People playing as a soundtrack in my head. No disrespect intended toward our seamen [ROFL1]

How long has it been since we had F-14 tomcats?

Ahh. Brings back memories. Of course I was on one of the last conventional carriers myself. I do miss it sometimes.

So does that mean we could control 70 percent of the world?

No, it means we could control 70% of the world with one aircraft carrier alone.

I think they retired them 3 or 4 years ago.

Cool vid. Good to know that we have a powerful military presence still.

That's also probably "larger than" 70%. But a pisspot 85-ship airforce will be mostly trainers, transports and cargo birds. On a combat power basis, a single carrier air wing is more powerful than 90+% of the world's air forces.
