Maybe I say this every time... but this is actually one of my most fav vids we have done together so far. Your video turned out so good!! I loved it!! I KNEW you would do more history and facts than I did! :) It was so much fun climbing all over everything, trying on hats, spending a large amount of time in the spooky shower, and pretending to know any amount of information regarding boats. Thank you for taking me here babe, I had a boat-load of fun!!
It’s one of my faves too babe! The best of times we are always having. I love you!
Ya'll are so damn cute!!!!
My dad was in the Navy during WW2. He did not serve on any ships, but was training to be a Navy pilot.
Neat WW2 history with that ship.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Jay, great video. I remember the Halloween video on that ship ! . The Navy has been an integral part of our family for 3 different generations! Its amazing, my brother enlisted @ age 18 and came out years later as a Navy pilot! My dad was a career Navy man and my nephew is on a ship now. #gonavy
Thanks Bee I appreciate your family’s service
My great uncle Paul was in the World War II and my dad was in the Vietnam War as well
Awesome!! I have been to the SS Lane Victory in Los Angeles several times, and its fantastic!!
This video was great! You and Cris are so enjoyable and the tour was very informative. Cris is hilarious, so loveable and relatable. We discover a new Cris phobia in almost every video. Talking about her experience as a Disney boat captain made me laugh.
Where the Captain puts his "STOGEY" is a Voice tube,used to communicate orders short distances between compartments,typically by the Captain or Officer of the Deck,the officer in charge of the ship at that time.
Great vlog Jay! So much history there on that ship!
I'm adding this one on my Local attractions to visit. I'm really surprised they don't have an old Warship with this there, but the maintenance is murder on the pocketbooks for those groups who do that. Great video both of you!
You two are funny! Thanks for the video, I can't wait to see it in person in 2022.
Thank you. We will add this to our trip next week.
Thank you
Good tour. Lots of history with that ship.👍💕😊
Great video, Tampa Jay! You are correct about the fact that there is one other operational Victory Ship in the United States. It's located in the Port of Los Angeles.
Great video I love these ships. I do believe there's like 2 or 3 of them that still operate. Victory ships are amazing ships. Built fast and ran hard.
Thanks Oscar
I totally geeked out watching this. I need to swing by Tampa next vacation haven't been in years, definitely will pay the American Victory a visit. Great vid!
Jay, this was really fun! Thank you!
Thanks Creeps
Nice Tour! We went to the Fla Aquarium last summer but did not have time to tour this ship. Love all the military history in these ships.
Such a fun enjoyable video.
Great vlog!..Chris was loving it at the end she says 1st any only time..assuming it wasn't her thing.love she went to support..keep up the great vlogs.
Thank you
This is amazing! I went to the Florida Aquarium 2 years ago and seen this ship parked behind, my eyes popped at the size of it, have to aboard this summer 🤩
I think I missed the Halloween video of this ship. I bet it was terrifying, especially now that I saw Cris saying how people passed on the ship and she could sense things, double terrifying but such awesome videos from both of you!! 🤘🏻👏🏼👍🏻
Great tour. We have a victory ship (actually two) here in San Pedro, CA. I've been on the smaller one but not the big one yet.
Great Video
Have you seen what is happening to our local WWII Warship called the USS The Sullivans, it has major damage in its hull and has been taking on water for over a week. I live in western ny by the way. Ours is very haunted and very nice inside, I have been there many times in the summer and even toured it when I was little and saw a barrier to block off a section you could not enter move with no breeze and even picked up evp’s while we were there in the summer. You guys are sooo cute together . Great vlog guys.
I hope she can be rescued.
@@guymorris6596 they have repaired 12 holes in the hull and are working to now secure her back upright, they are not giving up.
Awesome video
You guys are so awesome! =] loved the vid
Thank you!!
Love the vids man keep them up
Thanks Shannon
TAMPA Giant Exploding Chicken Sculpture, on the list. 45:45 IRON MAN CAN. I miss Shiny Cans like that, at least in the West. Love Florida Ports, Forts, and Ships. Always surprising the Story of Florida Shores in Wars. So often untaught in History. Thanks for the Peacetime Tour!
Great vid jay!! Keep up the great content man!! All the best sir. BTW i still havent seen that bday devil rays snapback cris the girl got ya. Did u wear it yet?
MY Uncle served in the USN during WW2 and Dad was in the Phillipines as a paratrooper in WW2, kind of wondering if My Uncle served on this exact ship..would be something to maybe check out,,I have his navy uniform,and Navy Bible they gve the sailors when they sailed off to war..This was a spectacular video Jay,,,Just loved it,,
very cool i have been on a Victory ship in Richmond CA the ship is called SS Red Oak
My favourite Vlogger ➡️ Tampa Jay. There's much ahead (and it's always fun to watch).
You’re so awesome!!
Was just at the USS Alabama myself. Those WWII ships are so huge and so much to explore… just be careful with the sunglasses 😎
Almost lost them 👓
I visited and explored around aboard the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, Texas on April 3 2022. Yes, she's a large ship so there was plenty of climbing up and down ladders while also carefully working my way through narrow passageways. We shouldn't forget about low overheads for tall people, me, to avoid hitting their heads on. They have the Tom Cruise F-14 Tomcat from Top Gun on her flight deck. I was walking along a non working escalator on one lower deck with other visitors and jokingly called, " All hands to battle stations. I repeat, all hands to battle stations. Incoming enemy aircraft off the port bow. "
I meant April 2 2022. I went to NAS Kingsville on April 3 2022 for Wings Over South Texas airshow.
@@guymorris6596 Nice! I’d love to see that Tomcat.
This Video was so good! I Dont Remember if it was This Ship or Another Attraction in FL of warship i went on it with my grandpa when i was like idk 6 lol and got to tour the whole thing and see all the rooms, kitchen and weapons' and big guns on the ship and everything. All I Know the Next day he took me to the Space Camp Place so Maybe the Ship was Over There Somewhere. lol the ending, you guys are adorable!
I really enjoy your videos. Almost like watching a movie. You should check out USS North Carolina in Wilmington NC.
I don`t think those Mini Subs were seaworthy enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean and patrol the Gulf of Mexico. However, the regular&larger fleet sized subs did!
toured the 'YORKTOWN" in south Carolina, and saw all the planes, and toured the middle of the ship, as my brother served aboard an air craft carrier for three yrs in the Navy back in the early 90's, anyway if you get a chance go out to that one for video documentation, i'll save the rest of the info for you to find out about...NO SPOILERS...and it's (gyro)scope pronounced with a J...your splecome.
👍🏻. Keen observer of detail. Thanks for sharing. Do you know about WW2 Victory gardens? 🇺🇸!
awesome! new video on me birthday!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have an awesome day my friend

I toured the USS Midway in San Diego. That was so cool. That would be so cool doing a Haunt on the Victory. Do you have a video of that.
Yes 3 haunt vids aboard the victory
Noice
Considering it being a warship i wonder if the SS American Victory is haunted oh yeah speaking of old ships Jay & Cris the Girl have either of or both of you ever been to the Queen Mary ship in California?
That’s on my bucket list. Be cool to climb aboard a white star line ship
Tampa Jay I bet you're happy the Tampa Bay Rays took the series from the Boston Red Sox
Ohh yeah you know it
You guys go to some cool places. I’d like to see you guys do nothing, what’s it like at Jays mansion ?
Haha 425 sq feet bachelor pad thanks man
Dam boy very nice lady I see you not as a kid into baseball too a nice looking young man she really makes you look good yall look good together now about them subs they sunk ships all upp and down the east coast my folks lived in Ft Pierce at that time my dad said before he went into the army they captured a German sub of Ft Pierce and it had fresh bread from the bakery in Ft Pierce
it was Sam Morse that invented the code
hi
Not going to lie you sound very similar to Adam the woo
He’s a great friend and a legend. I always take those comparisons as a compliment; so, thank you!
He reminds me of Adam Sandler.
A lot of rust
Jay, if you were my son, I would tell you to get a shave and a hair cut. You have been so clean cut, what's up with this unkept look? Yup, I am old enough to be your mom, I'm 61.
