Yeah, as someone who has worked by heavy machinery his jumping on that thing made me pucker up. If there was less of a gap in that wood, that would have spun him until his leg was ripped right off.
@@thenoobplaysit6923 Yah as soon as he got on I was worried that the gap was too tight ... and I was right.
@@thenoobplaysit6923 Same here, people are very cautious around loud, fast spinning things like saw blades but tend to underestimate silent, slow moving, harmless looking things like that capstan. The problem is if something on heavy machinery is moving slow that usually means it can produce extremely high forces. A person getting mangled between that capstan and a stationary object next to it (or getting caught in the rope wound around it) would not even slow it down a bit.
I bet on an active ship storing anything that close to a capstan would be a big no-no as it creates a dangerous pinch point when the thing is rotating.
@@captiannemo1587 Same here, was thinking, „Did he really just put his body on a capstan with enough torque to move a 45000 ton ship?!“ Controls for that thing should really be hold to engage, not toggle. Because: self-evident.
The" Safety Sally's" have been Identified...... lighten up guys-! Ryan's fine, nobody's hurt...
Stop taking all the fun out of life with the woulda, coulda, and shoulda's.
You can use hydraulic or impermeable or watertight (it has many names) concrete for the stairs. Once it sets, it will never allow water to go through it. It's also going to retain color far better than other types of concrete even against Sol's bleaching actions. So you can throw paint in it and make it to spec.
edit: Source: i have stairs that are almost 47 years old made from watertight concrete in one of my father's houses that our firm still maintains and it's never had to have any kind of maintenance work despite going through winters and being exposed all year round. It really is that good. On key life expectancy is 50 to 70 years old.
Seconded. I used it for the slab in my cellar, it barely costs any different.
Wrong
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 someone's very upset this morning(!)
This is a really REALLY BAD idea for steel structures as the structure preceeding the mold will trap water in place exasterbatining frame rot. better to just find the leak and fix it..
I think they tried concrete on the Texas BB, didnt they? IIRC it fucked up the ship because water collected between concrete and steel, and caused rust.
That new deck looks gorgeous, glad to see the old ship is being kept in good condition!
A lot of the electrical equipment on these type of ships is very durable . I don't know if the Iowa class were A.C. or DC . but the equipment was built to survive almost anything the sea and action could throw at it . Also maintenance involved a lot of grease and paint as the ships had much bigger crews .
Thank you.
A crazy as it sounds, once you have the decks covered in new teak, toss buckets of sea water on the teak. Surprisingly, this actually preserves the teak.
@@agenericaccount3935 yes, they are using teak.
No it dosn't
"WATER" nearly an acre of wooden planking with a BUCKET???
Im actually aspiring to be one day converting a war ship into a museum, finding this channel is a great way to have an insight in how to do that, im really thankful for discovering this channel
thats awesome
Ryan, never change. 🤣
‘That’d be funny if he rode it.. actually, nah, there’s a big crate right next to it and if he gets stuck between the two the capstan wouldn’t even notic… well it’s a good thing that the crate was light!’
If you have any larger teak planking left, then I know a lot of people that will buy it for yacht restoration, and spearguns. And they would adore the wood.
Its for sale at battleshipnewjersey.org/shop
Grass, very surprising
The Japanese used to have a lot of rail system, specially for the floatplanes.
BTW, I would grab that mulch put it in flower pots and sale them as "%100 American Marine Soil / %100 freedom".
Maybe plant something on it in advance, like oak, or sunflowers... to sale.
More damage control lockers?
😄
Wow,the new deck looks awesome!🙀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Very good to see !
When you say it hasn't run since you were born, and say the 1990s, I cringe, as I was born in 1957, and it has been in active service in my lifetime... And the electronics were once state of the art! Funny, as I once used to work on that type of electronics!
So wait di you guys deck over the helicopter pad on the aft of the ship completely? So not it's like the ww2 all wood deck aft???
Your safety coordinator must've cringed to see you riding on that capstan
Floating fighting engineering marvels
Nice work.
Curious as to how the projectors were set up. I'd think they'd want two projectors to avoid interruption and a third view port for the projectionist to see.
11:10.....is that an ice guitar by your foot?
I think BNJ should hold open air movie nights on deck seeing as the projector room has been repaired.
Please keep hands and feet inside until ride comes to a complete stop.😁
ok I know this could be a dumb question, but why do you not powder coat the steel on the ship, I have seen it done using heaters instead of an oven. there was a show about a building steel being power coated before the concrete was poured. just don't remember the name of the show.
Please vet your sponsors better - the need for additional funding for a non-profit is real, but shilling a scam like this damages your and the battleship's reputation. You all are amazing, and the work you're doing is important, which makes strategic alliances all the more important. To be clear: Established Titles neither sells land nor sells titles - it's the same as buying a star; they haven't the right to sell, nor do they register, nor are taxes handled appropriately. While they provide a hugely important financial boost, they are ultimately a scam with your tacit approval.
I would like to see the deck replacement in progress
I'm gonna say dump the concrete stairs and have people board on original style gangplanks..... It will give guests with a fear of heights a special treat :P
and wait... at 11:40 what is that built into the deck that looks like a guitar?
Can you make jewelry or decorations out or the mooring lines?
osha???? ocean!!!!!!
Has anyone stayed on the museum ship during a huricane recently and how did the ship react?
Look up the USS Alabama I believe some people did stay on it during a hurricane. But I think she's sitting in the mud though. either way you'll find something on Google about it
> my lifetime...1990
Tfw I realize I'm old
When will you guys be running another auction for bigger pieces of teak?
Thanks but having a Lordship bestowed upon me might ruin my run for President.
It's just an honorary title, wouldn't prohibit a presidential bid.
Lawns are not compatible with battleships!
I became a lord after the first video with you sponsored
lol
Established titles is a massive scam btw, not great to have them as a sponsor atm
fiefdom
Hey what wood is the decking?
There's an old Navy man on UA-cam named Mark Novak and he's quick to remind people that the piece of equipment doesn't know how old it is. If you push the button and tell it to work, it's either going to work or destroy itself trying.
No one cares bro
Those things were really built to last, everything in them is probably just ridiculously over engineered. As long as water doesn't get into them to rust the gears and bearings solid or corrode the electrics they'll probably work. And I assume they were designed to endure sea water washing over the deck so a few decades of rain has no chance of ruining them.
Wouldn’t you love to see Mark working on a 16” naval rifle putting Ryan one step closer to his secret goal of just steaming out of harbor
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 Take it somewhere else bobby, this table is for the grownups.
@@999torino Calm down just a joke bro
Sad to see you taking a sponsorship from one of these super-questionable “lordship” business. There are some great videos on UA-cam that shine a light on them.
"Horseplay is next to Sickbay" as the saying goes
You always see the shots of the guns on deck and even Ryan climbing through barrels, but around 6:30 seeing them in frame with the helicopter really puts their size in perspective.
I thought the same thing.
Yeh that was an amazing shot. Cant even imagine the amount of energy that propellant creates in that barrel.

Did they finally found the missing intern?
No. I think he was by the coffee machine?
@@BattleshipNewJersey that's not where the blinker fluid is stored....
Did you finally find the proverbial “untouched WWII machine shop?”
No
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 you really are a shining ray of light and possitivity(!) xD
Deforresting a battleship was not on my list of phrases I ever expected to hear.
@ 3:18 some where some OSHA guy's head just exploded! 🤣
Get ready for a citation from OSHA Battleship New Jersey 😯😂
You cant call yourself Lord or Lady anything by buying a plot of land in Scotland.
eh, at least they are giving the ship money. I also think it is a gimmick
Him mentioning how many square foot the decking was got me thinking.
If you added up all of the areas you can walk on an Iowa class battleship, how many square foot would that be?
And it's a question that literally no one is asking LOL
Yes, keen to know.
Two people are now officially asking.
12
@@bobbyrayofthefamilysmith24 I can only do 9
So all inner compartments as well? Thats a lot.
Be careful with that electric capstan, hydraulic ones speed up & slow down as tension comes on, electric ones have more torque, don't react to the tension & can easily snap lines.
They can easily snap legs too!
Bet it's always nice to find functional pieces of machinery aboard the ship. Also loving the new deck looks great!
I think there is something distinctly wrong with an American battleship advertising for titles of nobility. What would George Washington say?
As far as the grass growing in the deck-mulch, Green Roofs are a big thing these days. New Jersey was just ahead of its time. 😄
Stop with the crappy advertisements
Ryan , How many times we gotta tell you , concrete is not acidic. Think lime , concrete is made with lime. Lime is a base , a base is the opposite of an acid. Lime is caustic , caustic eats steel , makes it rust. And Missouri is not pronounced Missouruh
Am I suffering from dementia, or is this statement a contradiction? Quite happy to be corrected.
@@boblovell5789 , contradiction how ?
6:16 You have the Shackles on the SH-2F backwards. The Chain goes to the deck and the Shackle goes to the wheel tie-down point. If you've ever tried to tighten the turnbuckle on a shackle that close to the ground then you would understand. There are a couple tie-down points on that bird that are high enough that you have to have the shackle attach to the deck.
I hope they notice and correct this.
First time I've seen the aft stack without the scaffolding! god she is beautiful! and the crisp red E to boot
I was hoping ....praying he would ride that while it spun lol
Re: Capstan-- So "built like a battleship" actually has a basis in fact.
I'm really disappointed to see you promoting the established titles scam. I'd hoped you were smart enough to tell that it's a literal scam but apparently not. :/
Really? Do you realize how foolish you sound,on the internet?
Water doesn't leach the acid out of the concrete. Water leaches out the lime out of concrete and weakens it. Look into the Surfside condominium collapse in Florida.
Have you tried putting silicone sealant like pure silicone not the latex silicon caulking under the steel on top of the concrete you know you could make a form for it and once you bolt it down to the concrete, you stainless steel bolts. Also use stainless steel washers where needed. Silicon is very resilient temperature wise and can last a pretty long time in Florida where we have brutal heat. I would think that it would work just as well in Massachusetts. When I lived in Nashua I remember my dad having to caulk around the house all the time after winter to fix all the cracks. Caulking isn't what it's cracked up to be no pun intended. I use silicon and a lot of different ways. If I'm putting a concrete footer down and then adding a wood frame above it I set it down on a bed of silicon to protect the wood from water intrusion. I've never had an instance where my process has failed. The area I used to live in had a pretty high water table so during the rainy season it would be very easy for the ground to be saturated around that slab. But if you want look into clear or white silicon pure silicon. It doesn't take a tremendous amount but I would think a half inch setting up overnight and then bolting down to it would get it done.
Buying property from Scotland is on my to do list. I bought property on Mars a few years ago so why not?
I have a bridge if you'd like to buy it, it's in Sydney and it's world famous - the title will be just as binding as the title to "your" piece of martian real estate. I'll send you a gift certificate bound in genuine reproduction leather.
@@1337flite
Clearly they are meant to be gag gifts.
loved the turntable moment LOL, but really loved the moment as you were under the turret and realised how big the guns must be to be able to fit a helicopter under them
what was the point of the Propulsion office?
Engineers were about one quarter to one third of the crew and were tasked with main propulsion, etc., and actually needed the space as the place to maintain certain records and provide the center of the business operations necessary to support all that.
You do realise that Established Titles is a scam...
A video about all of the different size pumps on the ship would be cool
No it wouldn't
Yes, it would. I took many apart on her.
Coat the finished concrete with textured epoxy. Should help keep water out a little longer.
I have a question, Ryan. I live in Ft. Myers, Florida and just went through the experience of hurricane Ian. I've seen first hand the power of wind and water on moored boats. What I'm wondering is what would be the process of trying to protect a ship the size of New Jersey that cannot leave port to handle the strong winds and intense surge of a direct hit from such a massive storm?
At a guess I'd it's a case of "Set condition zebra throughout the ship"
Is it best to donate to a general fund or a specific project?
She's gonna look worse before she gets better
Right, look at Texas!
There's a famous stage in every construction project.
"90% done...and 90% to go".
Hi, raw wood loves " Thompson's Water Seal ". " Hey! "
Hi Ryan, how much of the maintenance work is correlated with the success of the UA-cam channel? Hopefully your growth is accompanied with funding to do many of the projects you wish to do.
I think a lot, since they started the UA-cam Channel and now they are getting sponsorships it's got to help. They're getting thousands of views so I suspect they are seeing add revenue which is why this channel is white listed for me.
belt and carbiner have to go
I suggest you use a rubberized water barrier under the concrete stair platform. Many homes use them under the tiled floor in the bathrooms.
The new decking looks great!
Oh god, if that wooden crate was any closer and any sturdier, you'd have been in big trouble. I know i would've found it hard to resist going on the Mooring Line Merry Go Round but at the very least check for leg clearance.
Shake hands with danger!
I know you need sponsorship but the outfits selling titles are absolute scams and I speak as a Scot.
I saw you jump on that and was oh-no! glad you didn't get hurt-heavy machinery like that can be unforgiving! thanks for the update.
Question about the teak decking do you guys oil the teak to help keep it in better condition
Definition of Irony: Sponsored by a organization that plants trees, for a project that used a small forest to re-deck a Historic Boat....
LoL...honestly tho, love the project 👍
So, removing the only environmentally green equipment from the NJ as you deforest her...LOLOL
Idea for a future Video ? You keep making Interesting Videos about other Ships ,that is Great . How about Navy Airships . Goodyear made for Anti Sub patrol . Thank you for this episode .
Got a piece of deck and a deck bolt, if you don't have a piece, get in gear :)
Talk about annoying rust....I was part of the ORI team for CVA 60, Saratoga's Gitmo work-up in 1969. When I got to my assigned bunk, the rack above was covered in crusty, wet water. I inspected the area above the wet spot and there was a see-through rusty hole. The compartment generating the hole turned out to be a head. The rusty spot was from a leaking urinal! That had to have been there for years! It is hard to understand how that could be overlooked on a modern, working warship.
A little late to add this, but curious...I understand the whole not returning the ship to WWII condition, obviously...but any thought to restoring one of those forward bow mounted 40mm tubs, and putting a quad 40 in it? It might be a net throwback weapon and position, but far enough removed from the rest of the ship to make sense...
Any ship is just a constant sink of both manpower and money. Trying to maintain a 50,000 ton battleship without a 2,000 person crew and without the resources of the US Navy must be a herculean effort.
Love your channel and information. But, contact Crane Indiana,nwsc, they re worked the 16 in shells andpowder., they also cast, poured most of the bombs used in veatnam.
I'll have to say, I love your sponsor - so fun! Laird Ryan!
Whrn Ryan almost gets crushed 😂😂
I hate to be the person who goes against the sponsor. But it's bullshit. I mean it's not even close to being legit. If you became a UK citizen and then tried to claim this made you a "lord" you'd be laughed at by the UK government. You could never use it on an official document. You may as well just change your first name to "king" then call yourself a king. It's just not a thing.
As the sponsor company is conning people. I am very glad that some of their Ill gotten money is going to a museum.
I noticed that you are having rust problems on your gangplanks. The Golden Gate Bridge has steel towers that sit on top of concrete footings. Perhaps the methods they use to prevent this problem can be applied to fix your problem.
Question, why is it that other museum ships like the USS Slater and bowfin can do engine starts but the BB's were told not to? Is it the difference in power plants?
I wanted to buy a piece but apparently the Store is only to the US? so I can't buy anything :(
youve been wrong 100 times....concrete is good for steel because it's highly alkaline(the opposite of acidic) environment that steel won't corrode in. what is bad for steel in concrete are chloride (de-icing agents) that pass through the porus concrete and corrode the steel
Yeah IJN Mikasa says otherwise

Why not replace the mooring lines with wire rope? Wouldn't wire rope withstand the weather better?
