I was working on the USS Enterprise in drydocks as this monster of a ship was being built. Its scale was daunting as chucks of this ship were being assembled in sections.

I still have absolutely no idea how something this large is designed, schematics made, wiring hooked up, etc. I just dont understand how its possible.

It's amazing that the M2 - first manufactured in 1933 - is standard equipment on a ship designed to be in service until 2105. I guess some things are just so good they can't be improved.

@4:12 You know you were a badass when you were a cook who has the worlds most advanced warship named after you along side presidents Ford and JFK as well as the Enterprise (one of the oldest and prestigious boat names in the US Navy).

2105, that's a great life expectancy, it won't be too long before another major war. God bless America🇺🇸

She is a beautiful looking ship. I saw her when she visited Crete a few days ago. I made a short video as she left port and put it on Youtube.

People don't realize the true scale of this monster until they see it in person. It's almost hard to believe what you're even seeing.
