As someone who is obsessed with both battleships and vintage computers, the thought of a room inside a battleship entirely filled with classic pcs from the 80s and 90s is just mesmerizing.
I really like the videos where you're able to compare locations on the various Iowas. It's fascinating to me just how unique each of the four ships are. On a similar topic, I was watching an older video of Ryan crawling around Turret 2 of New Jersey and he found a WWII-style pipe rack in the bowels of the turret. I'm sure you're already back from Hawaii, but I was wondering if you had checked any of the other Iowas for a similar rack in that area. At the time of the original video, you weren't certain if that rack was intended to be there or if an industrious sailor added it.
I visited the Missouri back in 1976 when she was still home ported in Bremerton. I'm an ex navy man. I remember being so freaking impressed and how big she was!
I met you a little bit aft of where you are in this video, luckily I heard you giving your outro and avoided walking into your shot. Glad you enjoyed yourself on this ship, I enjoyed it so much I went back later in the week! Thanks for saying hi!
Oh man, Navy Field...what a game. The prototype of so many current games. My favorites from my early years are F-15 Strike Eagle III and later the entire Jane's collection. I had just about every one.
Those computers are actually waaayyy newer than the ship's decommission date - probably what the museum could get in bulk through a donation though. That Compaq Presario (a brandname that wouldn't exist until 1993) paired with Viewsonic flat Trinitron displays puts them about 1999-2001, with AMD K6 series CPUs.
Define old games - I made first contact with a computer at age 10 in 1988. 😅 The first game I played was Digger (aka DigDug), which I enjoy to this day. But there are so many of these simple, enjoyable, pioneering games...
lol😅 I remember when I was enlisted in the mid-80s - 90s, my first experience with a desktop PC. There was an Abrams tank simulator on a 5 1/4 inch floppy that we used to play but we didn’t know that you only had to install it once! I wonder how many times that got installed on the computers we were playing games on after hours?
@THE PEDOPHILE EXPOSING BOUNTY HUNTER Indeed, on my pop's apple IIe about 5 years prior. Still play Gato,Karateka,& Where in the world is Carmen San Diego on that machine.😃
The first computer game I played was a text-based flight game called Hellcat, in which the object was to land an F6F Hellcat plane on an aircraft carrier with the player as the Hellcat pilot. I played it on a teletype terminal connected to a mainframe computer in another building via phone modem... when phone modems were an actual cradle in which you placed a phone handset. There was no video screen, just textual reports from the computer in real time reporting bearing, distance, elevation, and glide slope from the carrier. In between reports you had to adjust the controls of the plane to correct your path toward the aircraft carrier. The most common outcomes were overshooting the carrier, crashing into the ramp, or being shot down by a Japanese fighter before landing. I must have wasted miles of teletype paper before finally scoring a successful landing. A few years later, I played a text-based Star Trek game in which Federation, Klingon, and Romulan ships were placed in different quadrants of a Cartesian plane, and had to find and battle each other based solely on text report describing your own flight path and any activity taking place within "sensor range" which was much smaller than a quadrant.
My stateroom from 1988-1990 was in Warrant Officer Country, next door to the legal office... my roommate and I were the only line officers berthed there. Capt. Chernesky introduced and named MONET, and put a networked PC in each department office and some division offices. It was a big deal at the time. It was the first time most of us had ever used email, and it wasn't used casually... it was mostly used for sending the same sort of memos that had previously been routed on paper. I don't remember ever sending an email to anyone outside of my department. A battleship tour wasn't great for junior officer careers either, but we did and saw a lot of interesting things.
If I remember correctly my division had "Harpoon" and I think a game called "Gun Ship" (you flew missions in an Apache) on our computer in the late 80s. "Harpoon" seemed to be pretty popular with some of the officers in the Operations Department.
Hey Ryan what are your thoughts on the “If I could turn back time” by Cher music video there are some scenes with her on the 16 inch gun barrels a some what funny part in the video to me
Compaq and viewsonic! Wow does that bring back memories of my first home system! I served in a personnel office in the mid 80's, we had Zenith PC's, we had a mini mainframe called CADO (it ran of 8 inch floppies), and we got networked in with Navfincen Cleveland on something called Source DataSystem.
I love the tourists in the background at the close. They’re probably thinking ‘Oh all of the Iowa’s must have been upgraded with their own Ryan Szymanksi’ 🤓
That computer room looks strangely spacious compared to most of the rest of the rooms we've toured! I'm curious, what is the largest open space/room on New Jersey?
@@duanem.1567 See that makes sense as the enlisted mess was a casualty clearing area as well in times of GQ so they would need extra room. Feeding that many men at once as takes a ton of room and when I was aboard a LHD they still had to do shifts to get everyone in.
If they installed MONET when the ship was recommissioned in 1988, then it wasn't connected to the Internet because it didn't exist back then. At least not as "The Internet" as we know it today. MONET probably had an internal network that used TCP/IP for packet switching. If the ship had any digital satellite comms, the network may have been connected to MILNET which is a precursor of the modern NIPRNET used by the military and was one of the many networks that formed the foundation of the modern Internet.
The Internet certainly wasn't as widespread in commercial and home use back then, but its use in academia and some government organizations was widespread by 88. The first commercial ISPs launched in '89. I suppose you can pick semantic arguments about at what point it became "the Internet," but I think the general consensus is that what existed by '89 was that. Granted, it's not like the sailors would have been sitting there browsing the web. Most of the major components of the web (e.g. HTTP, HTML, httpd, and the first browser) were developed in the '89-'90 timeframe and public websites didn't become widespread until just after the Iowas were decommissioned.
As a user of MONET at the time, I wasn't aware of it being connected to any network outside the ship. It was generally described and used by us as an isolated LAN.
@@vbscript2 At the time, most of what we used it for was e-mail, file transfers (FTP), and various BBS services. What amuses me as an old computer geek is how many of the original commands and programs are still imbedded in various operating systems even today. About 3 years ago, I had to telnet into a server as part of a check, and yes, it's still in Windows 10.
Actually, I believe it was MicroProse F-19 Stealth Fighter, we still didn't know about the F-117 yet (the plane in the game looked like a miniature SR-71). One of my favorite games at the time as well.
@@kyledelisle9761 MicroProse released a new version of F-19, titled "Nighthawk F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0" after it was 'officially' de-classified. I believe it was released on PC around 1993, at least what the wikipedia says.
Seeing the Missouri is definitely very high on my bucket list...!! As far as rhe computer games mine would either be Oregon trail or where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.....
Thanks To Ryan and all the Battleship New Jersey Crew for another great video! Is there any chance you guys would be interested in doing a video on CV-19 USS HANCOCK? The ship has great importance to me personally because my father is a Vietnam Veteran who proudly served on her. She also has a history of serving with the Iowa's during several major battles during WW2 as well as taking a Kamikaze attack and hit. It's a shame she wasn't saved as a Museum Ship. She sadly met her end at the scrappers. Any consideration you would give to this topic would be greatly appreciated. As an Army Desert Storm Veteran myself I want to salute all the brave soldiers who served on Battleship New Jersey and all Navy Vessels during our times of conflict. A special thanks as well to the people now who currently take care of the Jersey and preserve our rich Naval history!
I always loved Oregon trail when I was younger on the first personal computers. They never had great games in the beging so being a history person ot was the game!
as mentioned below, those PC's are not dead spot on timeframe accurate. They were about 5 to 8 years after she was decommissioned. Security was handled very easily at that time- there was no security, as there was no internet.
There was no security. MONET wasn't connected to anything outside the ship, and there wasn't anything of a classified nature on the computers. Floppy discs were handled the same way as printed paperwork, locked in a file drawer or safe if appropriate.
I guess I'm showing my age at 40 when I recognize those Compaq towers and monitors from 2000 era. Not really 1992. However,I did go to a parochial high school that was still using i386 and i486 pcs from 1988 in 2000. A certain few really felt they needed to get their money's worth out of those machines that were probably $6000 a piece in 1988.
Apple2e might have been used for keyboard training. My elementary used those in 1987. Didn't see an MS-DOS machine or a mouse used till 1992. They existed, just the Apples were everywhere. I think just displaying a CRT and a PC case will get the point across of the rooms use.
Old computer game? MS Excel. I was adjutant for my class at OCS in '98 and I had to do muster reports in Excel before anyone knew what Excel was. Self-taught!
My first experience on a Navy “computer” the great old 3M (maintenance, material management) system. Used for orders. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT OF ENGINEERS being assigned to USS NJ, or any Iowa’s in the 80’s being bad for your career. On the contrary, I would say we learned more about hats and why these systems operate and can apply to ANY steam system, including my steam plants at the hospital I work at.
I admit I'm a layperson when it comes to museum sciences, but I have to say, modifying the artifact like it was a rented cubicle farm in an office park somewhere doesn't strike me as a particularly curatorial act on Ryan's predecessor's part.
@@ZGryphon >vandalize. Bro, a thousand compartments. Setting up an interpretive space or onboard office complex in a few of them that don’t matter or are replicated elsewhere is hardly a high crime. Its a function of running a museum. I don’t see the point of providing further replies at this time.
My first "real" computer game was Zork the text-based adventure game, first released in 1977. I played that game for hours and hours on my Radio Shack TRS-80.....Lord Dimwit Flathead.....
Favorite games would have been Gunship (ah-64 simulator) on the C64, or Conflict in VIetnam, early strategy game. hard to tell exactly what Monet might have been... Arpanet was around, but it ended in1990. The NSF had made a public internet in 1985. The class A IP ranges do not seem to be registered to the US military until 1991. I'm not sure what you could do/get on NSF in 1985-1990, as that's pre gopher/archive. Telnet into someone server and play adventure or the star trek text games I guess. Though I do remember NJ had ATMs on the ship at some tim period. Surely they eventually talk to a bank show how?..
MONET was an isolated LAN. We didn't use it to communicate outside the ship. The ATM didn't communicate off the ship either... it was simply a way to allow sailors to draw their pay from disbursing without the need for paper checks and a big line at the disbursing officer to cash them twice a month. It wasn't affiliated or connected with any bank.
Can't believe the Navy made WOs mess with butter bars. Oh the shame of it! 😥 Played Castle Wolfenstein from "don't hurt me" to "I am death incarnate"! I kicked axx! 😂
I was able to visit the USS Wisconsin and noticed a vertical gusset plate welded on the barbette. I believe it was on turret 2 starboard side before making my way to the port side Broadway corridor. The gusset was in an S pattern 6 to 8 inches wide. As the barbettes are forged I wasn’t sure why it was there. Anyone have insight?
I wonder if those old computers run Doom, Wolfenstien 3D, or the old old Microsoft Flight Simulator. All games I remember on Floppy Disks in the last Century. Starcraft Broodwar or Half life may be pushing the limits of what those computers could do xD
Where can you find pleasure Search the world for treasure Learn science technology Where can you begin To make your dreams all come true On the land or on the sea In the Navy!
Given that they're not period-correct in the first place, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that they're just empty cases someone scrounged up so that the room wouldn't look barren.
"you are being assigned to one of the Iowa Class Battleships Sailor... But it won't help your career" Me... "Who cares! I'm gonna be on an Iowa Class!!!!
Someone check Internet Archive for Ryan's game. I know they have Oregon Trail, Spy Hunter, and a lot of the old computer games. I think there is even a simulation of the Russian torpedo analog "video" game on there.
@@jimmccormick6091 File manager in Windows 3.1 as shipped is not Y2k compliant, there was a patch issued, but it is not critical to operation, the date is shown as 19[trash character][last digit of year] for any date post 1999.

Ryan's knowledge of his ship and her differences from her sisters is unbelievably impressive.
His knowledge is great, and it shows cooperation between the museum ships.
But, the computer didn’t look turned on
@@andreperrault5393 yeah that happens when it isn't

Can you tell that Ryan is very excited to show us the differences? I can. :)) Great fella, great fella.
Man, out of all of these things Ryan has done on the battleships, I really didn't expect dysentery to be his demise.

Corels wild ride or age of empires 2 where my favourite old PC games.
I wonder if those old computers run Doom, Wolfenstien 3D, or the old old Microsoft Flight Simulator. All games I remember on Floppy Disks in the last Century.
Starcraft Broodwar or Half life may be pushing the limits of what those computers could do xD
Probably can run doom. I'm not sure about Wolfenstein 3D but if it's a floppy disk then probably could run it back in the day
I'm seeing Apple LC's, so chopper lifter and the MECC catalog are more likely.
My favorite computer game Sid meier's Civilization.
Camera stabilisers are good
Very strong ship
Favorite old school game:! Leisure Suit Larry
So, you’re in the same spot from yesterday’s video?
Different battleship. Yesterday was the space on New Jersey. Today's video is that same space on Missouri.
I played lunar lander lol on an old apple
The computer game Harpoon of course. Fight the Soviets in WW3.
Where can you find pleasure

Learn science technology
Where can you begin
To make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
In the Navy!
I wanted to see the Macintoshes and Apple IIe from the thumbnail
apple iie was obsolete by 1992, but then again equipment seems to stick around longer in the military
Notice that those computers all seem to have had the floppy drive removed.
I noticed that too. I wonder why.
@@csrreuel9609 I'm going to put in a wild guess that opsec is involved.
@@robertsmith4681 I strongly doubt that anything classified was allowed anywhere near those computers.
Given that they're not period-correct in the first place, I wouldn't be surprised to discover that they're just empty cases someone scrounged up so that the room wouldn't look barren.
That could be the bay for a 3.5" hard drive. No doubt all the hard drives were pulled, blanked a couple of times, degaussed and then shredded.
The paint is sea foam green.
Stop dissing Terry. He's a big guy...

Someone check Internet Archive for Ryan's game. I know they have Oregon Trail, Spy Hunter, and a lot of the old computer games. I think there is even a simulation of the Russian torpedo analog "video" game on there.
Wow, put that Mic somewhere else.
Wonder if those computers will still fire up? I bet they will!
windows 3.1? Was it even y2k compliant?
thank goodness they're not steam powered!
@@jimmccormick6091 File manager in Windows 3.1 as shipped is not Y2k compliant, there was a patch issued, but it is not critical to operation, the date is shown as 19[trash character][last digit of year] for any date post 1999. The underlying operating system, typically MS-DOS or PC-DOS (rebranded MS-DOS) was already Y2K compliant before the earliest version that would support a computer meeting the hardware requirements of Windows 3.1.
oregon trail was the best
I understand audio problems happen, but couldn't something be done in post to do a better fix? Like some DSP or at least drop volume? That was horrid.
those computers are newer than when that shup was in service
SNAP II Shipboard Non-Tactical Automated Data Processing Program.
I'm old school....I played pinball
NAVY FIELD!!!!!!!!! DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!!
Was there noise in the audio?
I think there were a few bits of audio between the noise
And the thing in your pocket has more computing power than all the computers shown in this video running as a cluster.
The camera might too
Yahbut bad wifi connection and the phone is a brick :P
Could you please put up a disclaimer when you have bad audio like this?
Still looking forward to Beijing abourd Uss Missouri in a week.
Temple of Apshai
my cousin wasted his teen years plugging away at that game. he turned out to be a well paid DBA so maybe he absorbed some skillz?? 😂
🤜🤛
You crossing over with retro computer youtube was not something I expected to see.
Computers look late '90s
Can it be all updated to 21st century standards?
👍👍👍👊👊
