00:04.596 --> 00:07.083
(wolverine snarling)

00:07.083 --> 00:08.933
- My name is Captain J.J. Cummings,

00:08.933 --> 00:12.324
the Commanding Officer of mighty
warship USS Gerald R. Ford.

00:12.324 --> 00:13.460
(jet engines whining)

00:13.460 --> 00:16.490
These are incredibly
challenging times right now

00:16.490 --> 00:19.380
as our nation battles
and intends to defeat

00:19.380 --> 00:22.430
the hidden enemy, the coronavirus.

00:22.430 --> 00:24.402
It has changed the way we do business

00:24.402 --> 00:26.328
and the way we work.

00:26.328 --> 00:29.525
As a result of that, we
can't bring you to our ship

00:29.525 --> 00:30.775
for tours or visits.

00:30.775 --> 00:32.827
So, in true Navy fashion,

00:32.827 --> 00:34.848
we're going to bring the ship to you

00:34.848 --> 00:37.591
via these virtual tours in a series called

00:37.591 --> 00:39.707
"The House of Wolverine!"

00:39.707 --> 00:44.369
In this series, we will show
you the very unique systems

00:44.369 --> 00:47.732
and the advances of our ship like EMALS,

00:47.732 --> 00:50.721
Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System,

00:50.721 --> 00:52.043
our Advanced Arresting Gear system,

00:52.043 --> 00:54.790
our unique flight deck design,

00:54.790 --> 00:57.580
our Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System,

00:57.580 --> 00:59.990
and how we're moving stores, for example.

00:59.990 --> 01:04.227
We're also going to show you
how Sailors work on our ship.

01:04.227 --> 01:05.823
In Flight Deck Control, up in the tower,

01:07.040 --> 01:09.333
up in the forecastle below decks.

01:09.333 --> 01:11.050
We hope you take this opportunity

01:11.050 --> 01:15.440
to gain awareness to our
ship, the technology on it,

01:15.440 --> 01:18.725
the naval sea service, and the hard work

01:18.725 --> 01:20.107
of some of the finest young men and women

01:20.107 --> 01:23.070
our nation has to offer, our Sailors!

01:23.070 --> 01:25.140
We will not let coronavirus keep us down

01:25.140 --> 01:27.453
because we are Warship 78!

01:28.887 --> 01:31.887
(upbeat rock music)

01:34.818 --> 01:39.818
(metallic clanging)
(wheels rolling)

01:42.234 --> 01:44.984
(deep splashing)

01:47.098 --> 01:50.265
(jet engines roaring)

01:51.540 --> 01:54.790
(jet exhaust blasting)

02:06.010 --> 02:09.260
(jet engines blasting)

02:21.215 --> 02:24.465
(jet engines blasting)

02:31.935 --> 02:35.185
(jet engines blasting)

02:45.892 --> 02:49.312
(loud clanking)

02:49.312 --> 02:52.917
(mechanical whirring)

02:52.917 --> 02:56.255
(mechanical clanging)

02:56.255 --> 02:59.338
(hydraulics whining)

03:04.893 --> 03:07.560
(wind blasting)

03:13.646 --> 03:16.813
(mechanical whirring)
