Thanks for the video of that amazing ship. One day i hope to travel to the US so i can see a battleship in person
Was last on board as they were building the new walkways.... can’t wait to visit her again in another month or two. I have been aboard many times, always a great experience from when I was a kid to now as an adult and bringing my own children.
Excellent Drone footage of the USS North Carolina,I was there yesterday and I enjoyed the tour of this great battle ship, thanks for sharing this with the audience.
Thank you so much for the positive message! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and the content!
@@portcityheights Your Welcome and keep up the great work.
Boy has that area changed since I lived in North Carolina. I’ve been on board her many times. I left NC in 1995. Back then she was still floating in water.
Actually, she's been silted in for decades. The cofferdam is a temporary fixture while they perform restoration work on the metal at her waterline and /finally/ properly repair the torpedo damage that was hurriedly repaired in 1942 to get her back in the fight and was never fully fixed.
Originally they were going to drag her out of the mud and tow her up to Norfolk for drydocking to do this work, but funding shortfalls meant that they had to come up with an alternate plan. They still want to get her up there for a proper hull inspection and to get the mud scraped from her and I believe they want to dredge out her mooring slip so she is actually free-floating again.
@@cherokee43v6 Next to the Iowa’s the Carolina is the best looking warship of WWII in my eyes! Well,on our side at least,The Bismarck was beautiful!
must not be purple, hiding behind that island. ;)
Thanks for preserving honored history!
Been thirty years since we last visited her.
I remember as a kid in the 1980's when visiting the Battleship there was a huge Alligator that lived in the slip where the battleship is berthed. On the bow if you looked down on the starboard side of the ship you could see it on the shore or in the water. I wonder what happened to it.
Yes, you are right and the sign on the battleship - said Charlie the Alligator. We saw him many times at the ship museum.
A full third of this clip is gone before you get a single shot of the ship? Seriously, we didn't come here for waterfront shots of Wilmington NC 😒
Rude.
@@deejayimm Well it is a bit odd that the video is 3:48 in length and the first real view of the title object doesn’t happen until 1:00 which is roughly 26% into the video. Then the last shot of the ship is around 3:10. So 40% of the video doesn’t show the ship. Also the font settings makes the text difficult to read.
@@chrisb9960 oh I never said he wasn't correct, just rude.
But pretty much everybody is spoiled AF these days, so it's not like I didn't expect it.
@@deejayimm Copy that. When I click on a UA-cam I don’t expect 40% of the video to be intro and outro. So it could be argued that the content creator is just as rude.
@@chrisb9960 there is no correct or incorrect way to make a UA-cam video, if you don't like the way a particular video was made, that is a you problem, not a video problem.
It is impossible for someone to make a video that will make every single person who watches it happy, so if there's something about a video that you don't like, it's not the videos fault.
It's that sense of entitlement that everyone seems to have nowadays, people have forgotten that their opinion is only relevant to themselves.
It's fine to share an opinion, hell I would love it if the rest of the world would actually speak openly, even if it is only your opinion, but the second that you start to get rude about it, you're just being a selfish jerk.
A grand and majestic looking lady sitting there sleeping.
I have a question, I see she is sitting in the mud a fair way. Does she still have her screws and rudders fitted, or were they removed some time in the past?
I have had the privilege of visiting the Missouri a few years ago in Pearl Harbor, and would love to see many more museum ships one day, its a bucket list item.
Not so easy for me though as I live in Australia.
LMAO just looking at how much mud is around N. Carolina; makes Ryan the Curator of the New Jersey's opinion that IF the navy was desperate for battleships that the NC would be called back before the Massachusetts seem more than a bit far fetched. Massy is at least free floating.
Great vid. My only suggestion would be in the future to lower the volume of the music you add. Even with my speaker turned way down low it was a bit much.
I think Ryan is right. The Mass is in bad shape with the hull. I sent them money a number of years ago so they could weld more steel so it wouldn't sink. Big maint job a few years back. I've been aboard both ships though decades apart. However they'd have to be hard up to use either one. They may pull the 16" guns though. They take a while to make new ones and I don't think they can make them in Washington DC anymore. That's where they were made. Looks like it's NC's time for some hull work.
The one is really in dilapidated shape is the Texas. Don't need a naval gun to sink that ship. It springs leaks on its own. Very bad shape.
Ryan said that due to the design differences the USS NC is larger and has more space and is more sea worthy in terms of design hence why the Navy decommissioned the South Dakota’s before the North Carolina’s
@@carolinadog8634 I know that, but that same video he was say which ships he thought would be brought back first if the navy was desperate. Considering the Massy is free floating and wouldnt require having her mast and part of her superstructure removed to get under several bridges built after she was made a museum (This was / is the case for Carolina and in several articles is said to be the reason why they are doing the repairs in place). Also the Massy had a more recent drydocking and has a better over all condition.
The mud actually helps the preservation of the hull. It keeps out the oxygen which is what causes the rust in the first place. it also supports the ship so it doesnt compress under it's own weight.
The last time I saw this ship was when I was young in the 70s, and I always remembered the kingfisher airplane. Maybe im wrong but she has gotten a new paint job because I remember her in battleship grey
She was repainted to one of her wartime camouflage schemes in the 2000s, as I recall.
Yes, you are correct and in 1977 I saw the night show with flames coming out of the forward 16 inch gun turrets and simulated torpedo hit on port side.
Ok ,question. The ship is sitting in mudd,if there isn't blocks under the kneel,what is eventually gonna keep her from listing a little on her port or starboard, I'm asking this cause the ground moves over time,I know tanks can be flooded to make up the difference. Do y'all do test on the bottom to see if her hull isn't rotting in the underside,?be cool to see a vidio just on this subject.
During the last big hurricane( Charlie?) she floated and listed 5 degrees. According to people who work at the memorial, some mysterious person counter flooded the ship back to almost normal.
I was told this on one of the special tours.
@@ColKorn1965 not true
@@carolinadog8634 not true
She's already sunk and firmly stuck on the bottom. Not going anywhere.
@@notyou6950 a severe rainstorm can tilt the ship in case of extreme rain and wind. it has happend before.
Nice video, but I have slow eyes. Maybe leve the text up gor little longer.
Really appreciate your work.
We are thinking about possibly shooting another one for the battleship that’s longer and more intuitive. Thank you for the feedback!
The opening audio sure detracts from the video...
Why is it stuck in the mud
60 years of river silt will do that to a ship.
they didn't give her a Bunny Suit skin...
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Great video, horrible music
So glad I have a mute button.
🤣🤣🤣
where teh alligators ?
On the bottom. If you go visit one day you will more than likely see one they love being around there
