This is a clip from the bridge of the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) aircraft carrier on its way home to Yokosuka Naval Base Japan during a typhoon. My dad was on board this ship as they passed through the storm (that's how I got this footage but it was not shot by him). As they left the storm the damage to the ship was hard to miss. The starboard side cat walk on the bow was heavily damaged and the safety netting ripped clear off. I do not own this film, it was shot in 2008 ish and i received this film from my Dad shortly after his return home. ( the USS Kitty Hawk is now retired from active service)
