Wrong title. This vessel is being floated into a floating dock, which in turn will be deballasted to lift the USS Bataan out of the water. A dry dock is an enclosure with a gate or Caisson at one end. Enclosure filled with water, gate open, vessel floated in the centered over the blocks, caisson floated into place and sunk or gate closed, water pumped out or removed resulting in the vessel taking to the blocks. (sitting on the blocks high and dry). Its all about the terminology.
this is the second ship named Bataan. original was cvl 29 built during wwii as pocket carrier. active as part of halsey's pacific taskforce. named in honor of the Bataan survivors. hosted airgroups 50 and 47.
The name is actually the same as a province here in the Philippines, starting to question the name.. Edit: Her names sake is to honor the Defence of Bataan Peninsula (Province of the Philippines) back in the 40s.
Well done! Glad to have served on board for 5 years. 2009-2014. CE DIV. Good luck on this dry dock period.....that was suppose to happen 2 years before I reported on board. haha. (only 8 years late hooyah)
Command Master Chief.... Just a friendly reminder about my pin...... I misplaced the one given me when I toured the ship in Jacksonvillle... I need it in rememberance of my brother who was on Bataan and captured, held prisoner 42 months..... I want to put it in my shadow box... Don Hart, 7036 Wakefield Avenue, Jacksonville, Fl 32208
Brian Burtt My great grandfather served in ww2. He was among the troops that stormed the beaches on D-Day. Lived out an entire military career, became a drill instructor at Paris Island for the remainder of his military career. Still alive and kicking it today

Remembering the Deffenders of Bataan and the Death March. Survivors must be proud seeing this ship if anyone of them are still Around.
Yeah I'm proud
I'm a ww2 veteran grandson
That's the last ships I served on 10 years ago
Proudly served onboard from 99 to 03 maiden voyage

ถ้าไม่มีเหตุการณ์เกี่ยวกับความรุนแรงก็จะปลดอาวุธปืนบนเรือออกรวมถึงเอาเครื่องบินไปเก็บไว้ในโรงเก็บเครื่องบินในภูเขาบางรูป ครับ และก็เอามาบรรทุกสินค้า ทำธุรกิจกับนานาประเทศครับ
Coolest video the PAO has done so far. Wish I was there to see it.
just knew that a US ship is named after a province in the Philippines! glad they gave honor to the last stronghold of the Allied Forces during WW2.

Corregidor was the last holdout, not Bataan.
@Eritrea well the battle took place in the PROVINCE of BATAAN. and it was WW2, there were battles every where.

เวลาเดินเรือบรรทุกเครื่องบิน มันจะต้องมีเรือดำน้ำเรือตรวจการณ์เรือคุ้มกันก็เหลือลาดตระเวน และก็ต้องมีเรือพิฆาต แค่นี้ก็พอแล้ว ส่วนเรือยกพลขึ้นบก ก็ ต้องมีด้วย เวลาทำการฝึก หรือสวนสนามครับ
i was a marine from 3/2. was one of many marines aboard this ship headed for the invasion to Iraq in 03
Go see the world people, good and bad you'll never experienced anything like this. I'd wish I was younger again.
Excellent work. Thanks.
