She is so beautiful ... and she looks like she just came off the ways ... Congrats to Ryan and the whole team wo pulled off this dry-docking
They only painted the bottom so the top is still older paint Ryan said when back in Camden the top portion will repaint the upper grey top .
We need to bring one Iowa class battleship online for a world tour.
There are no bullets for the main guns, and even if there were, there's a chance that the powder bags either might not work or might just blow up the turret as they were made in the 1940s
I, toured the battleships on the east coast for my 50th birthday and the NewJersey by far my favorite, that ship is an awesome display of military prowess!!!!
What a machine from such an incredible time.
57,540 tons of USA freedom.
Will be the only freedom we have left pretty soon !
Looking GOOOOOOOOD! I hope to visit her some day.
What a beautiful battle ship. God Bless these United States and all the men who served on her. Let's pray for all who were lost defending this nation.
Pretty amazing how so many people just HAVE TO interject religion into any subject matter. How pathetic.
@@stevesmith6236 There were Chaplains at every base I served. How important! What about you?
@@lawrence5039 What about me?
One Hell of a good fighting ship she was.
Beautiful!! Majestic!!
Glory Restored! Hats off to this beautiful lady of the seas!
Just plain Awesome. Thanks to American Patriots. A piece of history never to be forgotten.
Thank you for streaming most of the trip! Great views!!!
Always wanted to be stationed on a Battleship 🇺🇸
Such a Proud and Graceful Lady of the 7 seas! What a true Beauty to behold!
Hope somebody told the tug boat pilots to go easy on the new paint job. Great they performed the over due dry docking to help preserve the most decorated battleship. Blessed to have a great hard working curator Ryan S.
The only painting that was done at the drydock was from the waterline down, the rest of the ship will be painted when they get back to Camden
The coolest thing aesthetically the Iowa class has over all other designs is that slim crocodile foredeck. All others have the gator jaws. Iowa class looks more efficient in the water.
Mac tugs never leave a scratch
Welcome back!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
It would be cool if they restored it and it could travel to/from Camden to Cape May. You could do a tour and serve drinks and lunch on the deck.
Submit that plan. I'll be the first passenger !
look at that beauty
Magnificent ship.
Does she have her bow anchor. The Iowa is missing hers.
Where are the mooring lines. Did they get left behind at the drydock or did they leave them at this birth and somebody scraped them
so beautiful shep look nice 🎉🎉
....could be a giant Revell Kit......
The tugs are scuffing up the new paint job 😢😢
I doubt too much. They still have to paint above the wind/wave waterline.
The freeboard is going to get repainted once back in Camden 👍
consignment service 🪡👍🔔🔨📯🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶
As usual the tugs did a great job.
Pay more attention to filming the arrival, however.
Hope those tugs ain’t scratching the new paint
😮😮 TheU S. BAVY still rules the WAVES😮😊
What’s with the truck spraying what looks like water on the dock at the beginning?
Common dust control measure. There were two flatbed semis transporting i-beams from near the other two ships inland and the w.ind was stirring up a lot of dust.
@@SomeRandomHuman717good catch. 👍 I thought dust control, but couldn’t see the I-beams on my small screen.
How come they do not use this kind of ship in the Navy anymore? Are we still capable to make the shells those big guns fire? I know they retrofitted some battleship and used it during the Gulf War, so why do the same to all of the ones we have. How many people does it take to run a ship of this size? Can anybody out there give me an answer to my questions? Thank you to all who have served for this great nation of ours....
Aircraft carriers replaced the battleship as the most effective weapon of war
Big, expensive to operate and they take large crews. The guns are powerful but only have a 20 mile reach.
The battleships were retired because the Navy thought they were too expensive in terms of money and manpower to operate. They were still very capable warships when retired because they carried 32 tomahawks and 16 Harpoon missiles in addition to the 16 inch and 5 inch guns. The Navy is really three different constituencies competing for slices of the "Navy budget pie": the aviators, the surface navy, and the submarine force. Guess which one ends up sucking hind tit-----surface.
@@SomeRandomHuman717 Ya pretty much…….The submarines always have as much funding as they could ever hope for, naval aviation is the bane of the entire US military…..They pretty much constantly demand a perfectly good aircraft get redesigned to be two or three times more expensive because they have to operate on an aircraft carrier….and surface either gets It’s budget cut…. Or suffers the ignominious insult of aeronautical engineers trying to develop naval vessels because the fighter mafia thinks they know best.
Look at the admirals in World War II, they weren’t a bunch of fighter jocks, they were surface warfare guys we knew how to deal with fleet operations. Now fast forward to something like top gun Maverick…ALL The admirals in charge of the Pacific Fleet operations are former fighter pilots and I don’t think any of them had surface warfare experience.
I'm pretty sure guided missile destroyers and frigates are so much more effective at land and air targets these days. Who knows what we'll be using as weapons 20 years from now. Rail guns/lasers have been in trials for some time. Rail is on hold, Laser is in production and currently being used also.
I tried putting the nautical flags into an online translator but it just seems to be random letters and numbers: 7N231BD59 (excerpt) I probably don't know how to read them.
Those are purposely arranged so they do not spell anything, to discourage sailors from sneaking in "funny" words.
Some of the ones on the side do say real stuff because there was an admiral onboard.
It is intentionally gibberish
Ryan! Ryan! Ryan!
Huh ?
Ryan Szymanski is the curator , he's the one responsible for this entire effort @@montvilleo
Now she needs to visit Guantanamo Bay Cuba for a friendly visit
Nope
You can literally fire its' biggest guns from the channel of the Chesapeake Bay,and hit any building in downtown Washington D.C. What a behemoth.She actually slides sideways 7 feet when firing her biggest guns.
1st part of statement-TRUE!! 2nd--NOT,against laws of physics!! OLD SWABBIES TALE!!!
@@markbonner1139 Yep, max range of about 23 miles, accuracy about .20%-.25% of range. In naval terms that means under perfect shooting conditions, at least one round from a 9 round salvo is expected to hit within a 300 foot radius of the aim point.
@@markbonner1139>>>> The ship doesn't move an inch or even heel from a broadside. The guns have a recoil slide of up to 48 inches and the shock is distributed evenly through the turret foundation and the hull structure. The mass of a 57,000 ton ship is just too great for the recoil of the guns to move it.
We need to build a Modern version of these awesome Battle wagons
Is this ship going deploy in miami?
Obviously not
😊
Literally could have gotten same footage with a Drone for 1/1000th of the cost, lol. Still though, Big J looks mighty purdy!
It may be a no-fly zone for drones mandated by the FAA. And yes, I know there's a helicopter flying there. That still doesn't matter.
@@kman-mi7su Yeah you're right. Thought Paulsboro was South of PHL, it's actually just east = 0' AGL restriction.
@arayes across from phila airport. *ngallagher1274
We’re going to need her! Should have brought her back to life!
Considering the shape of her fuel lines alone it would take at least 2 years and at least $5 billion to reactivate her, we can build a better and more powerful ship for less than that!
Hope you didn’t think I was serious? lol. With the tension building up and China bulking it’s fleet and being 60 miles away from our shore lines, it was a joke that we might need everything we could bulk up our fleet some, but the USS New Jersey wouldn’t even be a thought.
Nope
May be needed in the Caribbean or Straits
Nope
Made in Philadelphia USA.

It is kind of time to scrap that old vessel.
Just collecting dust and cost money.
Why would you want to scrap a museum ship? Education is important
Why is n.j.going backmto paulsboro ?***
? Who knows, maybe to service her into "Battle readiness"? Perhaps?
Water removal service for the ballast tanks. They originally went there back in March to add like 2,000 gallons to the ballast tanks as part of the dry dock preparation.
@@_Jetbolt_ Friendly correction, 2000 TONS of water aka 500,000 gallons
@@DanielLehan No obviously not lol, shes going there to deballast
It's old and useless, scuttle the effin thing.
It’s a museum.
Go away troll
