Carrier operations are an amazing thing. Hundreds of operations happen on a very small space of deck. Aircraft land and takeoff on a bobbing postage stamp that bobs up and down in a sometimes violent sea. This five minute video is a gem. It features operations that took place on the USS Independence during the Vietnam war (along with a short scene of the E-2 shot post Vietnam). If you want to see more, check out the full 28 minute video from the San Diego Air and Space Museum here.
