Background information behind the YouTube Background videos shown on Learning from Dogs
Many will have found the video extracts about carrier operations on USS Nimitz thrilling, fascinating and superb watching. The first was shown two days ago and the second yesterday. In fact they come from an brilliantly executed
10-hour series from PBS in the US called Carrier. The film has an associated web site including the ability to watch all ten episodes in full. [NB – it has been discovered that the PBS videos may not be available in all countries due to licensing issues.]
The USS Nimitz was launched in 1972 and has an overall length of nearly 1,100 feet. WikiPedia has a good summary.
The final Post on this topic will be published tomorrow and will explore the questions of integrity and ethics that are associated with the emotions raised by the videos.
