I'm sure most visitors find that ship impressive but I don't think too many people can appreciate its technological aspects. What it took to make that ship is amazing.
Worked on this ship in the late 80's in Pascagoula, MS and marveled at the craftmanship of this fine lady. In my opinion she is a work of art and it is refreshing to see her being taken care of.
I was on this tour. Quite cool, the seen 2 minutes in is a recreation of the 2nd gulf War. All recorded radio is from the actual engagement. They choreographed the lighting to let the visitors know what sailor was talking and where from in CIC during the engagement. Surreal to experience this. Loved the tours and the ship
They were on station for Gulf War 1 1990 The second Iraq war happened in 2003 ish. Desert Shield was the buildup before the deadline and ultimatum for Iraq to retreat from Kuwait or be attacked when Desert Storm commenced. I was there for Deser Shield on an Amphibious Readiness Group
Thank you for serving our Country! From the tour information, it seems like the engine rooms were a hot area to work in, and it was hard work. Very glad that you watched the video and took the time to comment. Thank you!
Wow, it appears to be in fantastic shape. Everything looks like you could just gas her up and sail away. Kudos to the museum staff for their maintenance efforts. I'm of the opinion the USN should build a few updated Montana class monsters, nuclear powered of course, just as a gentle reminder to our potential enemies in the Pacific.
It makes no sense to me that you have to buy admission online. The paper the tickets are made of aren’t even touched by the workers who made them. There was no information from google maps or others about having to order tickets online. I just followed directions to the location and after seeing the small sign outside the museum, parked across the street in a parking garage. It was only when I got to the front door that I saw the online ordering. There’s absolutely no reason to not have on location ticketing when you’re already there. All this effort to make everything sanitary when using tickets is no less so. If you don’t use credit cards or take money from your bank account in preparation for admission that that leaves you with nothing except for gasoline money in your account. So I drove over a day total to get there and spent more on parking than in the museum. Thanks for wasting my time.
Interesting, sounds like a bummer of an experience! I wonder why they have it set up like that. Hopefully you get a chance in the future to go back when things are somewhat back to "normal".

Completely agree! Amazing for sure!

I got to do some K9 training on board the USS Wisconsin, it was definitely an amazing experience. Much respect to our Sailors from an Infantryman.
That is awesome! Sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you for your service, and to all who served!
@@bardenaviation thank you Brother 🤘🏼

That is very cool! Very good info there, thanks for that. Great tours, great volunteers, and great experience. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Awesome, you covered both tours I was on in 2018. Thank you for filming this. It is a very nice trip down memory road for me.
My pleasure! Glad you found and watched it!
This was my first ship I served on in the Navy. I actually worked in #1 Engineroom. EMO1

The Best Naval Command that I served on.. The enginerooms were a hot area to work.
Impressive what good shape that ship is in.
Agreed, it must take a ton of work to keep it that way-

there was never a Montana Class
@@robertyoung3992 Yes, we know. Actually, there was never a Montana class *built*. It certainly was on the drawing boards.
The biggest enemies you have are within your own country!
their info for the fireroom is wrong, I was a BT1 on USS Iowa BB-61 87-91 and LPO of #3 Fireroom and the oil/ water lab
Thanks for the good info! If I get the chance to re-visit, I will let them know.
What was thos.whos doing on the oparator room anyway ?
Sad during covid we couldn’t go inside
That really is a bummer! Worth going back some day...
Thank you for sharing your excellent videos. God bless 🙏
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Would they shoot a tomahawk at a drone?
I suppose it depends on the situation-
No, Tomahawks are for land-attack. They can't target or hit an airborne moving target.
would use CIWS.
Ask the blonde kid to explain the ship. Then explain the zumwalt. Hear the difference.
What is he saying

".. rifled on the inside so they can spin the bullet.."
Now ain't that special.
The bow should be facing out to sea.
..
And where is Yamoto now.? Hint, not for any touring
5:59 better then YAMATO 18inch steel ? yeah right.
yea but at least Wisconsin isn't sitting at the bottom of the Pacific
Thicker doesn't necessarily mean better. Let that sink in.
One underwent a rapid, unscheduled submarine conversion; the other is the last surviving battleship, still serving in her “shock and awe” role.
