For over a month, The Battleship New Jersey has been going through a massive renovation, below the water line.

It was back on March 21st when the USS New Jersey was pulled via tug boats down the Delaware river to find her way to the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Since then, crews at the North…

  1. Just a nerdy correction as a huge BB62 fan…. It is the most decorated US battle ship….😮. Also huge fan of your Wildwood videos, been a huge Wildwood fan since ….. the early 1960s. I am about to retire there from north NJ. I am 3rd generation of Wildwood lovers in my family, my kids are 4th generation.

  2. I would rather spend 90 billion to modernize these old ships and get them back in action than send that money to protect other nations! The 90 billion is peanuts compared to the money spent protecting other countries around the world every year by US taxpayers and these ships have to rely on donations from people and other countries get USA treasure and blood for nothing!

  3. It's awesome to get these views of the New Jersey, but, this big beautiful ship should be sailing with our Navy as the ambassador of the fleet. Ready to fight! Just think what this ship could do to Houthi missle and drone instalations in southern Yemen! A heck of a lot cheaper that multi million $$$ missles! All that is, of course, IMHO Thanks for the great tour!

  4. I wish these ships could be put in drydocks for life of their musume carrier to preserve them top to bottom! They are giants of the industrial age!

  5. what a great tour – i like the smiley face some dude has sprayed on the block under the aft of the centre keel!!!🥰😁😊 looks soooo good with the red bottom and black boot-top!!! this brave ship deserves all this attention!!!

  6. She is absolutely beautiful. The Iowa Class Battle Ship has amazing lines. Her hull shape is a thing of beauty and we no longer have the ability to source the steel sheets, loft, manufacture, shape and hull of this thickness. They had to manufacture the jigs that were used to put those curves and radius bends in steel up to 11 1/2 “ thick plate steel for Iowa/Jersey and 14 1/2” inches thick for Wisconsin/Missouri armor belts. Imaging what it took to roll and complex shape steel plates of this thickness. They used FHA Steel (Face Hardened Armor grade steel. Also referred to as Cement Steel. It was expensive to mill and roll. Lofting and then taking the flat raw plate steel sheet and shaping all the correct contours and bends was a skill long lost. But seeing her with her shirt down is just incredible. Thank you for your video work and tour of her underbody. I was part of the Reactivation Team when she was in Long Beach Naval Shipyard in 81/82. What an amazing Ship she is. Looks brand new now.

  7. Thank you good sir for this video, as an avid follower of the Battleship New Jersey channel and Ryan's awesome coverage of the whole process throughout, as well as all the channels video's to date, this was a very much welcome addition. Can't agree more thoroughly with you, with how good she's looking after all the works to date, and how good she will look once all is said and done….and wow….the new deck is stunning, bringing her back to a state of beauty only the IOWA's possessed.

    As a plastic scale modeller of predominantly ships, the information and footage is priceless for the details around various parts of the ship, that we just cannot access anywhere else…so for that alone, thank you greatly.
    I would kill to be be able to attend one of the dry dock tours…but as I'm in Australia, tis a tad on the difficult side…so I'm very thankful for this video and am certainly looking forward to the mentioned 360 deg video, should be awesome (not to mention all the great videos from the Battleship New Jersey channel itself).

    Have sub'd, and will have a look at all your channel offerings, and look forward to further work of yours, great footage, very informative content and extremely well delivered, a true credit good sir.
    Cheers from Sydney Aus!!!!!

  8. Anodes! Not "anoids". I changed my thumb up to down just now. You need to do some homework, get the terms right, and pronounce 'em like they're supposed to be.
