If you are not a Navy aficionado, you might find this video from the USS Green Bay (LPD 20) boring. It has no audio, but the replenishment at sea, the missile launches, the LCACs, and all the shipboard evolutions give me the goosebumps.

LT Landin Oversees Takeoff
The Sky Was Black
When they reached their ship, Ed gazed out at the bay. It was black. The sky was black, but the bay was even blacker. It was a slick, oily blackness that glowed and reflected the moonlight like a black jewel. Ed saw the tiny specks of light around the edges of the bay where he knew ships must be docked, and at different points within the bay where vessels would be anchored. The lights were pale and sickly yellow when compared with the bright blue-white sparkle of the stars overhead, but the stars glinted hard as diamonds, cold as ice. –Clark Zlotchew
