5 out of 5 stars Special Insight   June 2, 2008

I happened to see part of this on PBS and really enjoyed what I watched. My husband was in the Navy aboard the Independence in the early 60's and this gave me a special insight to what he has been talking about all these years. It was so interesting to see what it takes to keep a carrier going. It's like a floating city! I have even more respect for our young man and woman who serve this county.

Great movie, it gives everyone a small, but realistic, look into Navy life while Saliors are deployed for six months.

This was a gift for my husband, Retired USN. He enjoyed the memories of his time on carriers. Although much of the documentary was based on personal lives aboard the Nimitz from Officer to lowest of Enlisted rates, there was good footage of activity aboard the carrier. Politics are a bit controversial, etc. Shore leave interesting - there are many sailors who don't just party when they are on leave, etc.

even though I've never been in the military, this was a very interesting piece of work. Thoroughly enjoyed the "life aboard an aircraft carrier" and getting an insight into what life in the navy on an aircraft carrier is like.
