They told many interesting back stories about people's lives before joining the Navy. As the 10 shows progress, you get a real feel for how the 6 month cruise and life in the navy effects people differently. Thanks to all the vets who make sacrifices to keep us free.

This film deepened my appreciation to those who serve and protect in uniform. Although lots of people on the show complained about their navy job (as many civilians also do), it seemed like the navy pulled many of these folks from messed up family and life situations and provided needed structure. I was never in the service, but this series made you feel like you had some sense of what it might be like to serve.

Let's you get to know about 10 different people from all ranks and job roles on the carrier. This was a great series.

I've been there, done that, and have the ball cap, and parts of Carrier took me back to when I was deployed on one. It should be required viewing for anyone contemplating joining the Navy, but it is not in any sense a recruiting film. Possibly the best documentary about life on an aircraft carrier. At the end, I wanted it to go on, it was that good.

If you love flying you will love most of. the flight scenes. I enjoyed most of the characters and got involved with their stories. Better than "Top Gun". Would almost like a follow-up on characters to know what happened to them a year or so after this was shot. One I did not care for was a real loser but he ended up off the ship. Reality show on the high seas. Shows the real Navy, warts and all.

Instead I always felt like watching a boy-scout documentary with the toys of an overkilling weaponery. If this is what the navy feels like, then I am surprised.

Comradery, a cruise to see the world and playing with billion-dollar equipment. I wished to see more tech details and if getting philosophical: a more inside look into the hearts and souls of those (mostly) teenies on that ship.

Is it really like that on such a ship. The footage itself is very nice.

I find it rather unbelieveable and I can smell the censorship on every take of this movie. The series and title promise an in-depth view behind the curtains of a marvellous piece of technology.

I doubt it.

This is a ten part view of what it is like to live on a Carrier in the 21st Century US Navy. there are happy and very sad times, but overall a balanced view of all the different personalities that are on a Carrier.
