" Look at that super structure it's tiny.. that thing is mostly flight deck "

All aircraft carriers are mostly flight deck . Kinda the point  

It's the Zumwalt  , named for Admiral Elmo Zumwalt .

Not the " zumbalt "

I guess we'll have to wait and see how worthless she is .

" I'm wondering if it's just because of testing that the crew looks bare bones, because every carrier I've ever seen or visited was a rainbow of flight deck crew running everywhere  "

Yes , it's just ships company and not full flight ops with ordnance .

You visited a Nimitz Class at sea ?

Speaking of anchor chains , we dragged ours several hundred yards before pulling it up and going to sea due to a massive storm moving out into the Med . We were anchored off Marseille , France .

First and only time that ship looked small to the sea state .

I woke up to the propellers cavitating ( our berthing was way aft , just above the screws ) .

" wait  --  uhhh  , how the F are the props cavitating if we're at anchor ?? "  --- then the banging on my rack to be told to go light-off 2 plant  ,, with skeleton crew .

" That fast transport ship really doesn't have much of a use either  "

LOL  . What ?
