Thank you so much for taking us along with u spartan. Much respect for you for all you do for us fans. Thank u for being you and for making us apart of your day. Spartan on!!!

    Cool video ..... I still remember visiting the Battleship Missouri Memorial on opening weekend in late January 1999. My friend and I took numerous color and black and white photos. Yes kids, back then we shot pictures on something called film. I have some nice B&W shots looking out of the bridge with the USS Arizona Memorial in the background.

    30 year veteran, not US Navy. Was onboard IOWA in Kiel Germany at Kieler Wocher in 1989, if memory serves me well. Have a photo standing under Turret No 1. Impressive ships, the amount of armor around the helmsman position on the bridge is just crazy as I recall. Enjoy the tour and keep up the good work. BZ.

    From panzerknacker, *all of this quotes credit goes to him and him alone, well and the Wisconsin😂
    “March 15, 1952: The USS Wisconsin (bb-64) received her first direct hit in her history when one of four shells from a North Korean [a communist one] 152mm gun battery, struck the shield of a starboard 40mm mount.
    Although little material damage was received, the Wisconsin immediately destroyed (initiated the communist fruit) by firing a full 16 inch salvo.
    Afterwards, the Wisconsin received a message from one of her escorts, USS Buck (DD-761). The message simple read, “temper temper.”
    This is why ppl go missing in Wisconsin

    I remember when the Wisconsin was docked next to us in Norfolk in 89 I went over to check her out. I was jealous that she had those curved vents on the side of turret one that we didn't have. Putting the vent higher off the ground their turret one didn't take on water in heavy seas like our turret could.

      The actual wreck of the Tirpitz is mildly visible. It's on a shore of Norway, but it's a wargrave as well, so the land is basically holy. There isn't really a lot left of it, since the navy took out a lot of parts to salvage.
