From the video notes:
I've done deployments on both of these carriers. Got shellbacked on the America.

This was filmed in 1986 while I was stationed aboard the USS America CV-66. I was an Aircrewman/SAR Swimmer with HS-11 helo squadron. We were at the end of a 6 month deployment to the Indian Ocean/Mediterranean Sea. We were being relieved by the USS Kennedy. The fighter jet jocks got with us and came up with this slant, on an age old tradition, of releasing a greased pig, onto the deck of the relieving ship. Three pigs painted with Red, White and Blue food coloring and lathered in grease. The Kennedy never seen it coming! LOL

On board pranks are fun.
We put a fresh out a boot out of WV 18 year old on the front of the ship to watch for the mail buoy so everyone got their mail, a helo would drop it in the water for us. Left him there for a hour, walked out a looked back behind the ship and told him he missed it and to go up to the bridge and tell the captain we had to turn around because we missed the mail buoy. When he busted onto the bridge and told the captain everyone lost it. We had a flight deck!!
We had the Long Beach a nuclear cruiser dock across the pier from us. We broke a light stick and poured it into a beaker and told a newb that we need it analyzed because it might be hazardous. Dressed him in a full fire suit and sent him across the pier to the Long Beach to have them test it. When he walked up, holding the beaker out in front of him in a full fire suit and asked permission to come aboard it was hilarious. This was in Bahrain where it was over 100 degrees.
