A cool look at U.S. Navy aircraft carrier flight deck operations, launches, and recoveries on Ford-class or Nimitz-class carriers. Flight deck crews, identified by color-coded jerseys, manage aircraft positioning, fueling, and arming under strict safety protocols. Catapults launch aircraft like F/A-18 Super Hornets, EA-18G Growlers, and F-35C Lightning II to execute missions including air superiority and electronic warfare. The aircraft carrier integrates with escort ships for global power projection within the strike group. Be sure to watch Aircraft Carrier Catapult Launch if you enjoyed this video.
