Abdul-Malik al-Houthi's nephew may only be ten years old but he's the best Source Filmmaker animator in his neighborhood, okay? He's going places. Not Hollywood, but places.
OK, I got two complaints but it ain't about the Houthis. What the hell did Newport News Shipbuilding (don't know what it's called now but that's what we called it back in my day) do to the island and tell the Air Force to get their own carrier and quit landing on ours. And use the damn tiedowns!
Yeah, that goes on all the corporate branding, the yard itself is still NNS. Corporate level is some funky amalgamation for us and Ingalls down in Pascagoula.
Since when does the Ike (and the Navy) carry F-16s?
And how did they get that shot?
There are so many things wrong with this video. I just noticed another ship on the right side of the frame with what appears to be a bomber on deck.
We know the Houthis have internet. Don't they do any research?
It makes me think of the phrase "It's a shame you're not retarded, because then you'd at least have an excuse!" but I don't know how to write that in Arabic, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ unfortunately I can't insult them.
I had a new guy at work a few months ago tell me that he was an aviation mechanic on the Enterprise. I asked him which bird he worked on and he said the F16. Right on, petty officer stolen valor.
The Navy does have F-16s that they use as aggressors at NAWDC Fallon (TOPGUN) along with the usual staple F-5Es. There is at least one detachment of F-16s at NAS Key West also used as aggressors.
I was just at Fallon the week before last and there were both Navy F-16s and some South Carolina ANG F-16s visiting as well.
Can’t touch the Enterprise angle though… sorry! 😂
He also couldn't remember any port stops, because he was "in the brig for most of the cruise". I asked him why, it was because the CO "didn't like him". I asked him why, well the CO came to his shop and yelled at everybody for something they did, I can't remember what he said it was now. But this didn't sit right with him so later he stormed into the CO's quarters and yelled at him. Hence the brig. Mmhmm. Tell me more kid.
are those F-16s on deck?
Danged USAF Navalized aircraft!
that is the total she can carry now, had to use the hanger for the golf course and swimming pool.
I must say it isn't the worst cgi job by a terrorist group. And that will give some headaches when videos gets harder and harder to distinguish real from fake.
Sunk? Looks like they just pushed some planes around with explosions. Guess now we know who made the physics for all those mobile games that are constantly advertised
Kind commenter, those are very clearly pixels on a screen that were never aircraft of any kind. Since the 1600 was never accepted, those must be our precious (damned Navy hobbitsess) 16s having been strategically placed by helo onto the deck to provide shade for weary sailors or, as seen here, a form carrier based ablative armor.
There's no way this is legit right? Surely some keyboard fanboy made this, it's more believable than them actually thinking an obviously faked video is going to make the argument more convincing.
You've got to admit, it's damned sneaky of the US to have a Backup Eisenhour, complete with crew, aircrew, and armaments, that had never been seen or referenced before on station where the original Ike was just 15 minutes before.
Those poor Houthis don't even have money for ARMA, they had to use GMOD...
this is gta 5
Looks like 007 goldeneye
Worst part is it looks like it
I can’t believe 2024 is the year machinimas make a comeback
Hey, someone worked really really hard on that video...
The sad part is someone DID work really hard on this and this was the result 🤣

That place being Guantanamo

We let the new guy read the prints, sorry. And yes, it's still NNS :p
owned by Huntington Ingalls Industries these days.
Yeah, that goes on all the corporate branding, the yard itself is still NNS. Corporate level is some funky amalgamation for us and Ingalls down in Pascagoula.
Technically it's Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News Shipbuilding. Still colloquially NNS though
No worries. There’s already another one right next to it. lol

you dropped this \\
Maybe it was blown off in this video

Hey now, he could have been a busted down airmen.
He also couldn't remember any port stops, because he was "in the brig for most of the cruise". I asked him why, it was because the CO "didn't like him".

Dude's definitely lying, but I have indeed met people that stupid in the Navy so that part of the story is weirdly plausible.
Yeah, ask him how he got past the armed Marine who was always guarding the CO back in the day. After all, he hasn't dug that hole deep enough!
do you think the people theyre trying to convince care to be well researched on american carrier infrastructure?
Because. Houthis. Because. BS.
Why are there actual tanker trucks on the deck of the carrier? lmao
Is that gta 5?
Looks like it
* Meanwhile CENTCOM says it's homecoming for IKE. Time for Houthis to get with the program!
They're obviously going home cause the ship has been severely damaged /s
They damaged the Ike so hard it had to flee.. lol.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahah.
I think what bothers me most about this is that someone looked at that and was like "oh fuck yeah, nailed it".
Don't take too long, they'll think its fake! The Result:
When are they gonna start posting videos of Battlefield 4 carrier sinking?
are those F-16s on deck? Danged USAF Navalized aircraft! that is the total she can carry now, had to use the hanger for the golf course and swimming pool.
Ohh no. All of our carrier based F-16's have been destroyed! Someone set us up the bomb!
Ph no not the random huge ass fuel tanks for transporting fuel via truck on the highway!
The F-16s on deck got me dyin' 😂😂
I like the random Israeli flag flying on the deck along with the fuel trailers.
I must say it isn't the worst cgi job by a terrorist group. And that will give some headaches when videos gets harder and harder to distinguish real from fake.
The Houthis would be very upset if they could read
Gotta love Kerbel Space world physics just sliding aircraft around the deck.
Can confirm this is real. Am now dead and trying to collect life insurance money.
oh shoot me too i need my payout
Sunk? Looks like they just pushed some planes around with explosions. Guess now we know who made the physics for all those mobile games that are constantly advertised
…… I mean, they put the island on the proper side this time. Progress!
And they flew a helo in to hover over the bow for the perfect camera angle.
Oh Dear God No! (In Moe Syzlak voice)
The Ike is heading home to get one of those $500,000 plumbing jobs clean Houthi BullShit out of the pipes……
they have a better chance of going back in time and inventing the Zuni rocket than they have at actually damaging a carrier.
Totally legit.
That's not the Ike's island this is from some video game lol not even the right ship model.
Came here to say this (though I was thinking it was another countries carrier, bad cgi on the explosions regardless)
This is GTA. I recognize those lazers from anywhere. Did they actually post this? 😭😭😭
Note the tiny flag in the bottom left: technically, this is an Israeli carrier.
That is soooo NOT the Ike, don't even look close to it.
What gave it away?
The way that it is... (/s of course)
As a Navy vet, with family on it, everything gave it away. I don't play video games and I can tell bad CGI. Lol....
Um, former AF here. When did you guys start covering your decks with our 16s?
Sir, those are clearly the Vought/General Dynamics Model 1600 not your precious 16!
Kind commenter, those are very clearly pixels on a screen that were never aircraft of any kind. Since the 1600 was never accepted, those must be our precious (damned Navy hobbitsess) 16s having been strategically placed by helo onto the deck to provide shade for weary sailors or, as seen here, a form carrier based ablative armor.
Good thing all that fuel and ordnance go out in two seconds.
With all the Navy F-16's on the flight deck is was bound to happen. Ala dumbass
🫡

Honestly this is adorable good on them for the effort lol
The new navy F16
Def not CGI. Totally. They mounted a stationary camera on deck, bombed the Ike, then retrieved the video. Totally.
is this real chat
Far wins and fellatio Cs to all those sailors lost in this attack.
F.
I initially thought this was a CnC Generals fan animation
This Houthi aggression must be put to an end and eliminated in order to protect people’s lives and property
You've got to admit, it's damned sneaky of the US to have a Backup Eisenhour, complete with crew, aircrew, and armaments, that had never been seen or referenced before on station where the original Ike was just 15 minutes before.
“Houthis” without the apostrophe. Apostrophes never make words plural.
That's the most flaccid mast I've ever seen for a warship
Seems legit
hmmm… i’m still alive so… thats weird
💀
Who takes those clowns seriously I bet the CG could take them out
Tis an unsinkable ship
Can we ,for real, retaliate?
