    Great Video Captain! That Aircraft Carrier was actually CV-67 USS John F. Kennedy. She was retired in 2009. My cousin was with John F. Kennedy's Carrier Air Wing 3. They were a part of the first air strikes During Desert Storm.

    I used to eat at the Commissary. FDR Park , growing up My Dad taught my 2 brothers and I how to play baseball in the 1960s. Miss those times.

    I was in the Navy. Submarines are called boats for some reason. Everything else is a ship. I worked at the Navy Yard for 34 years. Familiar scenery!

    Thanks for the video. There are two big events this weekend, the Broad Street Run which ends at the Navy Yard and the Kentucky Derby is this weekend. And Sunday is Cinco de Mayo.

    I had no idea that access was given to that area of the shipyard. I would love to go down there because I love ships.
    I need to go exploring. This is so cool. What a great video.

    Yo Cuz! You were so close to the New Jersey. Go down Broad to KittyHawk Ave (just past the Commandants offices, where URBN HQ is (you were on KittyHawk at one point. Make a right and just go down KittyHawk and you can't miss its there on the left. There's a lot more in the Navy Yard, too, like a hidden Koi Pond in a flooded building and outdoor stairwell, a giant dinosaur sculpture made by a 1st Nation Tribe and so much more. Also, I'm a former Marine, you can call ships, "boats", its not a problem.

    I believe that carrier is the John F. Kennedy, the last conventional powered aircraft carrier in the U.S. fleet. & yes, she has been sold to be scrapped. BB-62 aka battleship New Jersey is in drydock #3, which is part of a privately owned shipyard/ship builder. DON'T BE WRITING ANY BOOK REPORTS FROM THIS INFOMATION......

    the new jersey is in shipyard #4 no they don't scrap them in philly. The navy yard is like a graven facility. then they tow them to texas to scrap them.

    I hear Wally Gator got mistakenly released into the swamp with the other alligators, thing is you just can't release a domesticated animal into the wild with wild animals, the other alligators probably beat the shit out of Wally the first day
