Possibly the best documentary about life on an aircraft carrier.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.At the end, I wanted it to go on, it was that good.It should be required viewing for anyone contemplating joining the Navy, but it is not in any sense a recruiting film.

Reality show on the high seas.If you love flying you will love most of

One I did not care for was a real loser but he ended up off the ship.Would almost like a follow-up on characters to know what happened to them a year or so after this was shot.

Rating: - Carrier - A look at Naval life in 21st Century
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.
