[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 135001, member: 167"] Having spent months on board a carrier without a port call in 2003 of the coast of Iraq and Iran, I can tell you the noise can be real bothersome. Not only jets but pumps, fans, venitaltion, elevators, people working 24 hours. Every other night I had enough time off to watch a movie or some television. Every 1/2 hour you had to degause the television because radars severely screwed up the color. Not that many work on the flight deck so most were inside and very white and untanned by the MidEast sun. I only saw one plane go over the side of the ship and both guys ejected out safely. I slept two feet from tons of bombs overhead for the upcoming missions, jet fuel tanks on the other side of one wall(bulkhead) and more ammunition on the other and above the machinary spaces. Landing on the carrier is not so bad. Like a carwreck you strain against the seatbelt and it is over quickly. Getting catapulted off is weird on the body as you accelerate rapidly into the seat it takes a little time for you stomach to catch up. An aircraft carrier is a fun place to visit but you would not want to live there. Decades of learning experience puts a lot of activity in a very small space(they are only a 1000 feet long). Yet it can take weeks to learn your way around as you mostly know where you work, where you sleep, and where you eat because you do little else. [/QUOTE]
