Приєднався 8 гру 2020
Welcome to the official educational & entertainment channel for the USS KIDD Veterans Museum, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.
Built in 1942-43, USS KIDD (DD-661) is a Fletcher-class destroyer that served the U.S. Navy during World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War before retiring in 1964. Today, she is the centerpiece of a museum that teaches about the service and sacrifices of our state's veterans. A multi-curricular educator, KIDD will teach you about history, geography, physics, chemistry, art, music, sociology, linguistics, writing, math, and more! She also moonlights now and again as an "actress" in television, film, and video games.
The USS KIDD Veterans Museum is a 501 c3 non-profit organization and receives no regularly-budgeted state or federal funding.

Lol I love Parks Stephenson!
That’s some very cool history you’ve got there and I hope that it is preserved for generations to come
Went to school with a guy called Kelvin. I'm sure he'd know.
Brass is indeed a nerafious metal
Google is apparently reading minds now. I was just passing the museum downtown the other day and I was wondering what kind of plane it was. Crazy, thanks for the informative short.

Isn't that an Arab sword on its tail?
@PeterBerarducci : If memory serves from the Argonauts' squadron colors/emblem description of the time period represented, the sword on the aircraft's tail is a cutlass. The cutlass was issued in the Continental Navy and was common on the high seas throughout the Age of Sail. This fits not only with it being a naval aviation squadron, but also with the aircraft name, as "corsair" is a synonym for "pirate" in some parts of the world. The cutlass was of European origin.
Thor were a couple of naval officers in the Japanese navy who wanted to make tracking the location of the dry docks a priority. It didn’t really happen in a serious way and the years that following the war there was lots of hard feelings. Damaged ships were simply lost or worse, recovered by the alíes. The Japanese navy and the army spent quite a bit of the war blaming each other but the arrival of the dry docks in each retaken foothold meant that a large portions of the ships that Japan would reasonably be expected to be lost would be returning to action effectively fully functional. The war was hopeless.
There is an AFDL in use at Alameda, California by Pacific Dry Dock. Floating Dry Docks helped win WWII in a big way! TM who has visited the dock with ships in them.
Nope, I was not going to ask you about the floating dry dock, but what is going on with the floating plant material in the river?
Water hyacinth. You'll find it in pretty much any body of water in Louisiana, and this shipyard is located in the southern part of the state. During the filming of this video water was being pumped from the drydock, causing the water hyacinth to get churned up. In an upcoming video showing the drained drydock, you'll see the plants left behind all around the ship.
Big tug looks drunk......smackin' the bow
Way cool, so does this speed up the process?
For ships damaged in the middle of the ocean, the mobile drydocks expedite the repair process greatly. The turnaround time is weeks instead of months.
Where is it now?

That was on the Ranger, after my dad had already left. He was on the Ranger in 1964
@@brianb8060: Unfortunately, Corie never served aboard RANGER. That's just the squadron she was chosen to represent. See the full video for the full explanation of how/who was chosen for her to display. 🙂
Wow!
I remember working on that CHT tank back in the 80s when I reported back home for my reserve duty. Man was it tight back then, and I was a skinny 20 year old cack then also. Retired HT1 Mike Goetzman
This was fun and informative…. Thank you!
Be nice to see how you got the ship off the cradel

Great video, very informative, but please, please, please quit saying mkay, it reminds me of Mr. Mackey from South Park. Otherwise EXCELLENT video!

@@usskidd661 Thanks, again GREAT video, I subscribe to the Texas, New Jersey and now your channel, I grew up in Houston and lived there for 30 years, have been on the Texas many, many times, I am so glad it's new home will be in Galveston, the old berth was in a sketchy part of Houston and was bordered by refineries, the Texas will get a lot more visitation in Galveston. Keep up the great videos!

@@usskidd661 Thanks for the compliment on my doggos, they are my kids.
How did they guide the Kidd on the keel blocks? Did she fit like a puzzle, or divers guided the hull, etc.
If you go and view the livestreams, you'll see lines being toss from each wall of the drydock to the KIDD to center her up on the dock. Lots of mathematics and planning were involved. Divers are often used to confirm those mathematical results.
Disappointed in these comments... Stand strong, pirates.
So, with Texas and New Jersey coming out of dry dock and now the Kidd going in and also next year The Sullivan's going into dry dock, do yall know when other museum ships are going to go into dry dock? I would imagine that all of them minus Constitution is due to dry dock. I follow as many of the museum ships that have UA-cam channels but they don't seem to update as much as yall, New Jersey and now The Sullivan's channel does. Or they just don't have a channel.
Here’s a list of vessels that we know of who have gone to drydock in since becoming museum ships: PAMPANITO (1987, 1993, 1999, 2007, 2016, 2021), TEXAS (1988, 2022), COBIA (1996), CONSTELLATION (1996-99, 2015-16, 2022), MASSACHUSETTS (1998-99), LIONFISH (1999), HAIDA (2002-03, 2016), LST-325 (2003-04, 2013, 2024), EDSON (2004-05), INTREPID (2007), LAFFEY (2009), TORSK (2011), HOGA (2012), SLATER (2014, 2020), TURNER JOY (2017), TANEY (2020), SACKVILLE (2020), COD (2021), INGHAM (2009, 2021), ORLECK (2022), NAUTILUS (2021-22), BOWFIN (2022), AMERICAN VICTORY (2022), VAMPIRE (2023), JEREMIAH O'BRIEN (2023), NEW JERSEY (2024), MAILLE BREZE (2024), JOHN W. BROWN (2024), and KIDD (2024). Here's a list of museum vessels that we know of who are planning an upcoming drydocking: THE SULLIVANS (planned 2025), CROAKER (planned 2025), COBIA (planned 2025)
Just because Ryan stands in one place and talks doesn't make it interesting. We tune in to see the ship so pick up the camera and show us whats going on.
Ryan is in a class all his own. He lives and breathes anything to do with the new jersey. I believe he lives on the ship. (Not really, but I wouldn't put it past him. ) 😅
We did as much with this drydocking as we were allowed to do per safety restrictions. If you watch the drydocking livestreams, you'll see that this vantage point was the closest that we could get to her. We were not allowed on the drydock as we would have been in the way of the shipyard workers. We included footage here from Project Update #5 where Tim was allowed on the dock while the yard was dismantling the previous vessel's blocking arrangement. There is drone footage that is forthcoming, but because of military contracts of new construction in the immediate vicinity, all of that footage must be reviewed first and cleared for release to the general public.
does the navy still use dry docks or big the ship back home with the new lift ships
Both
The battleship that’s in Los Angeles is the USS Iowa
Great overview of the development and use of mobile US Navy drydocks during WW2.
Thank you, that took some balls...
SHIP, SHIP, HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
never got the notification that yall we're streaming, (IDK why i have all notifications on,) but i love that progress is slow and steady, (ironic, considering shes a DD!), but yall think shes homesick? 😂
Had the pleasure of visiting your ship this April, and visited BB-62 last year. It was astonishing, the size difference between the two - New Jersey's twin 5"/38s seem small on her mammoth structure, while Kidd's singles take up most of the ship.
californium is a great nonferrious metal
Ryan must have lost a bet and we need to educate him on how to say ALbany great video
@itsrogue2 : No bet. Someone said they'd "pay to see him do a HSH episode." They agreed to a donation to KIDD, to NEW JERSEY, and to SLATER (where it was filmed during the annual HNSA symposium). He agreed to do it. SLATER agreed to allow the filming. The rest is history.

Great movie that, a classic: Ferrious Bueller’s Day Off. 😈
You simplify the compass a bit there is more to them than the quadrant balls or Kelvin balls as you call them. First of all you will find fixed magnets underneath the compass. This is to compensate for the fixed magnetism in the ship. Start by putting the vessel on a north - south and an east - west course and add or remove magnet rods to minimize the deviation. Then you put the vessel on one of the quadrant courses and adjust the Kelvin balls to minimize the deviation. The Kelvin balls compensate for the fluctuating magnetism in the vessel . Do that on several quadrant courses and position the balls so that you get the most favorable deviation on all of these courses. Then it is time to add the Flinders bars. There is a tubing in the front or in the back of the compass that you fill with soft iron bars. This is to compensate for the magnetic error that is caused by the change in latitude . This is because the angle of the magnetic field will change with latitude. The last thing you do is to adjust the length of the string that holds a magnet that is dangling underneath the compass. This magnet is to compensate for the change in the magnetic field when the ship is rolling. For those that wants to be really nerdy they can calculate each of the magnetic components by using Archibal Smith’s quotation.
Well done. What is the purpose of the compass being in water?
The liquid in the compass is either alcohol or oil and is there to dampen the movement of the compass card.
Mario most of the statements asked or said are not holding a full hand or a hole in the pocket for marbles to roll, it's amazing how so many make statements or claim fact that are so far from truth, these people could live closer to a solve first honest with themselves
Great stuff 🤣, keep on keeping on 👍🇬🇧❤️🇺🇲
Too many memes
The magnetic compass on a ship is periodically checked by a certificated Compass Adjuster
lol!
Thanks. It comforts me to know there are so many people throughout history, all over the world, who are smart enough to figure this stuff out!
Kevin's balls in every ship
Why didn't they just use GPS?
Good idea for video and good commentary. However the clips and your pronunciation of non-ferrous make it seem much less serious. I strongly suggest you reproduce this clip and run it by a few people. This could be a really good video vs. one that I stopped part way through
@@pabloverdi7543: Trying out different formats to see what works and what doesn't. Thank you for the honest and POLITE feedback. 🙂 Greatly helps.
Now explain Plimsoll Mark!
The origin of the Plimsoll mark is quite easy to explain. Lord Plimsoll is probably the person that singlehanded have done most for safety at sea. He noted that a number of ships sunk because they were overloaded and pressed forward a law in the English parliament that required all cargo ships to have a mark on the ship side to indicate the maximum weight they were allowed to load. Ironically is that the same ships that Plimsoll was after is the ones that is referred to as Plimsollers. In other words the worts wrecks. In the years after Plimsoll the maximum allowable weight has been modified a little. You have now Summer-draft,Winter-draft,Freshwater,winter Atlantic and tropical draft. There are guidelines to tell you where and when these requirements apply and if you break them you are in for a heavy fine.
Too bad the kidd couldn't be addressed in bold to know all to those that seek! Identification so small and if that's the intention probably the reason double d was remove from her too
Who searched up Kidd from one piece
Beautiful effort presenting the continued honoring of our Navy efforts to protect our way of life.
