This is his 3rd or 4th iteration due to errors. He's fixed most but it still has some. He has been made aware.

Yeah... that video has some issues still.

He consistently uses carrier graphics and calls for horizontal surfaces to be 20B Deck Blue. Carriers had that for catwalks and metal decks, but the flight decks were stained and not painted.

Measure 18 starts out OK but then switches to a CVL (never wore Measure 18) in Measure 22.

Nice format, good presentation, some accuracy issues.
