Carrier operations, beautifully filmed
Here's a great video clip of flight deck and aircraft operations from the USS Carl Vinson. I highly recommend watching it in full-screen mode.
... Except it's not all the Vinson. Around 0:28, you can see what looks like a "64" on the island, which would make that clip the USS Constellation, one of the last few non-nuclear carriers the US Navy sailed.
