Documentaries about the US Navy

I have found a couple of documentaries about the Navy that are quite interesting. One is called Carrier and it is followed the USS Nimitz during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)... right after 9/11. This was a 10-part mini series on PBS. It is really cool because the show gives an insight into a few different careers in the Navy, lifestyle on board an aircraft carrier, and what it's like at sea for sailors. It also shows the homecoming.

Another documentary that I came across today is also about the USS Nimitz. It's called USS Nimitz Dry Dock. I have watched 2 episodes so far, and it is neat. I am not sure how new this documentary is, but on the US Navy's youtube page I only see the 2 episodes... so it must be relatively new. The carrier is dry docking at Puget Sound for a year. When they dry dock they guide the ship into the dock, center it above a series of wooden blocks, seal the channel, and drain it of water. It is a very long and intensive process to prepare the ship.

The USS Nimitz is posting videos on their Facebook page: USS Nimitz (CVN 68).
