5inch38 means barrell is 5inchs diameter and 38times 5inch in lenths so the barrell is 190 inchs long. The battle ships have 16inch 50. 16x50=800 inchs long with a 16inch diameter barrell. Thank you from a gunners mate guns chief USN retired
My deepest respect and gratitude to your uncle for his service. My dad was US Army. He served at Guadalcanal 1943-44. They truly are “the Greatest Generation”.
Thanks for the tour. I so want to visit this originally decked out WWII fletcher class destroyer as it was left in the exact modification at the time. A true time capsule, or should I say, time “vessel”!
The trick with the toilets (head) is to get the first seat where the water comes in. Make a big wad of some toilet paper, light it and drop it in. Then watch people jump. It doesn't hurt anybody, but is disconcerting to see flames passing under. Served on another Fletcher.
Great tour Curious it was used in the new Hanks movie Greyhound and I’m wondering what is the top deck cabin with four front windows? Usually the top watch surrounds it. Thanks
I liked your video, I was a sailor on the last crew of the sister ship of the uss Kidd, the uss John Rodgers, in Mexico the E-01 cuitlahuac, do you have photos? upload them
u said none of the guns worked anymore, but the 5 inches still work and they fire them every year or so. I don't know about the AA, and I know for sure the depth charges are not active.
Went here when I was a kid. They let us sleep in over night. I had the top bunk and the ceiling was so close, I woke up and bashed my head in the middle of the night 😂😂 good times
Whale boat not a lifeboat. All others are floats or rafts. Sick bay not doctors office. Most all DD only had a corpsman not a doctor. Galley not kitchen. Starboard is the right hand side locking towards the bow.
Too bad he can't get his terminology correct. I have been aboard the Kidd. She needs some up keep. Why give a tour if you don't sh&& from shinola???? ALL her guns were antiaircraft.
Tyrone Marcucci,, obviously tourguide is not an ex- sailor! Every compartment is marked, if you know how to read Compartment check list. What it is, where it is, and who is responsible for it.
I remember years ago before they renovated the U-505 exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry here in Chicago there was a tour guide who absolutely nothing about the German U-Boat nor WWII at all. I started talking about it myself and everyone started looking at me and and there was an older man obviously Navy himself who knew Navy terminology particularly for submarines. I'm Marine Corps myself but I know that the kitchen is the galley, the bathroom is the head Marines who served aboard vessels such as battleships, aircraft carriers and cruisers had to know Naval terminology just like the Navy and even those of us who didn't. He needs to get a Blue Jackets Manual to get up to speed with Navy terminology.

I'm impressed by how well she has been taken care of. I would love to visit.
Served on the Kidd from July 1956 thru November 1959. Made three West Pac cruises.
I served on the USS Uhlmann DD-687 from 1957-59

My Uncle, Joseph Hacke served aboard this ship in WWII, when the Kamikaze plane struck it. He was injured and received a Purple heart.

The trick was staying off the first seat (red one) , it was reserved for the guys who had the clap
Ah, I went here when I was younger. Pretty awesome tour, I must say. Nice video.

Must have been brutal on the open ocean, it's not big.
if she still has the 20mm Oerlikons, she was never modernized after WWII.
The Uss Kidd is one of the few ships that was not modernized during FRAM.
