Edit: I was looking at this from an American perspective and assuming these were all 'murican ships and aircraft. There aren’t. Nothing I previously wrote would align with the video since the British navy is weird. So, I just erased my assumptions. They were likely all wrong anyway.

gravitas_deficiency,

Judging by the fact that the front of that flat deck has a ski jump, I’d wager that it’s the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which does in fact have a dual-island design.

That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn’t compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn’t sure.

Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren’t 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.

Unironically. The suez canal being open is vital for the global economy

Yeah I’d personally much prefer the world’s shipping lanes be patrolled by the US navy than taken over by pirates.

gmtom,

Unfortunately most of the rest of the world doesn’t give a shit, or swallow up the American propaganda that what Ansar Allah are doing is just random acts of terrorism.

TseseJuer,

this is anti-American propaganda made by a non american wtf are you talking about??

LCAC is a little slow and the osprey didn’t crash killing 12 servicemen.

Yeah, it does look cool, but I’m afraid of getting my hand chopped off.

“Samir, this is America! Come on. Sit down. Come on. This isn’t Riyadh. You know, they’re not gonna saw your hands off here, all right?”

I was referring to Darth Vader getting his hand chopped off.

Wait, that was Luke 🤦… nevermind…

Duamerthrax,

Uh… have you not seen the prequels? Lucas isn’t exactly known for subtle story telling.

@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

I have, but I forgot the storyline… well, remeber it kinda vaguely. The original trilogy is what is burned in my mind, I was a kid, it was a great trilogy.

awwwyissss,

Yes, it would be much harder for you to keep making propaganda.

In pretty sure the navy doesn’t chop it’s sailers hands off

oeverbloem,

I mean, Star Wars was meant to be a direct allegory for the War in Vietnam so….

@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Duamerthrax,

Direct allegory for a lot of conflicts.
