CVN 69 (AKA Love boat)

Carrier life, like nothing I have ever experienced.On Board the Flight Deck
The ship's mission is to launch and land jets.
There are 5,000 of us working 18-hour days, and more than 70 jets are on board.
There are 60–70 daily take-offs and landings 24 hours a day.
The average age of the crew is 19 years old.
Each of us wears the distinctive colors of their job; there are those with purple shirts fuel the aircrafts, blue shirts chain the jets to the deck, red shirts load the bombs and the missiles, and yellow shirts receive the ready signal from the pilots and make the final call to launch the jets.
All communication on the deck is with hand signals.
When an aircraft lands, it must reduce its speed from 160 miles an hour to 0 in under 4 seconds. A normal airliner takes their foot off the gas to land; however, these jets only have a short runway, and if they're unable to stop in time, they have to take off again.
No Seaweed for us on this baby
The cafeteria on the ship feeds about 16,000 meals 24 hours a day.
130 food service operators work in the seven kitchens.
In case of emergency, the ship stores 60 days worth of food.
Every day, 500 gallons of milk, 2,000 lbs. of chicken, 1,000 lbs. of beef and 600 lbs. of bread are used.
Another ship comes to supply the us with fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs.
Pizza is the favorite meal on board: 600–800 pizzas are consumed!
Health Facilities
A local trauma center provides hospital service for all ships at sea, totaling 5,000–6,000 people.
An emergency room, intensive care unit, operating rooms, x-ray center, pharmacy, dentist and optometrist are all available for patients.
Communicating with Loved Ones
The ship's television station can record personal video messages from us to loved ones.
30,000–50,000 e-mails are processed a day.
Every sailor has access to a computer.
Play Time
Workout facilities: there are three cardio gyms and one weight room.
Religion centers offer prayer, songs and spiritual insights for a number of different religious faiths.
Sailors have access to a computer room, a library, an e-mail room and a ship's mall where they can buy CDs, DVDs, videotapes and more. I have to say those days were long and hard, and I would do it all over again if i had the chance to.
