USA TODAY NETWORK partnered with the US Navy to explore the inner workings of combat training exercises and the magnitude of coordination it takes to run the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier before overseas deployment.

Developed exclusively for Vive, this groundbreaking virtual reality and 360-degree interactive experience fully immerses you on an action-packed deck of jet launches, landings, drills, supply operations, and a thrilling flight in the cockpit of an F-18. Then take a deeper dive below to see the daily lives of our beloved sailors, interviews with crew members from cooks to Captains, and even get a taste of barista training at one of the world’s largest floating cities.
