An amazing ship. I got a change to visit Pearl Harbor in May for three days. I spent three hours walking and climbing the battleship. I was so amazed how it was built I notice the smell was old and you could tell how old the equipment was. But the history of this ship is so honored to be an American. Must visit Pearl harbor in your life time.
3:55 I don't believe that happened just as I don't believe vin Laden was buried with full honors at sea. Total bs to be saluting a kamikaze who just tried to sink the ship. Rewrite history for the woke world and of course the Japanese tourists.
My dad served Admiral Nimitz post war (only 7 of them were chosen). He also played cards with Admiral Halsey! My dad always talked about his experience when I was a child and I never understood his honor, until I became an adult. He told stories of personal conversations with Admiral Nimitz and his wife. Wow…
THE ONLY REASON THE JAPS SURRENDERED ON THE MISSOURI WAS POLITICS HARRY TRUMAN WAS FROM THAT STATE IF WOULD WOULD LIKE TO SEE A REAL FIGHTING SHIP GO TO WILMINGTON NC BB55 THATS A REAL SHIP ,,,
Oh my goodness, the ship is convoluted. You should definitely take hearing protection with you and have a harness made. If the Missouri fires you will be thrown out of bed. Hence the belt. You should use hearing protection when you want to sleep and when the guns fire
I had someone ask me why they didn't put the USS Missouri in Missouri and they were shocked when I told them that to do so would require it being cut into pieces and reassembled. The Mississippi River averages about 12 feet and the Missouri had a draft of more than three times that.
I was on that ship in 1990. My step dad was on that ship in long Beach, California. We went out to sea and they shot the guns off. I been to the bottom of the ship as well, it was pretty awesome
Great question! I’ve been trying to figure this out to, I can only assume the reason is because Pearl Harbor is a military base? All I know is that when we boarded the shuttle, the staff told us we were not allowed to film on the shuttle.
We didn’t see anything that looked like it shouldn’t’t be filmed. However I just found an article which says you need a permit to film but even if you do security will question on what your intentions are to film.
My grandfather served on this boat and he had TONS of stories. One of the most common was fire missions that involved support ships, that when they were all firing simultaneously felt as if his bones were creaking and continued to feel the effects even as the guns rested. He used to tell me that his buddies and him would listen to outgoing and got so good they could calculate distance, similar to lightning strikes. They would bet money, cigs and rations for entertainment! He would never tell me any of the bad stuff, ever! Although, you could tell, even at my then age of 12y/o, he saw horrible things during the war! He had the eyes of a hawk and sometimes felt as though he was looking right through me at times and others as if the man could heal the world. Their generation went through hell and came out of it as extraordinary men. I can't imagine the fear they felt and I wish when I was younger that I had listened and asked more questions! Mi vuoi bene e mi manchi nonno, con tutto il rispetto del mondo!
Served with the Marine Detachment 88-90. I haven't been back to the ship since I walked down the brow in June 1990 as a 20 year old corporal. At the time I had no idea how memorable an experience this would be. Thank you for sharing this.
Видео интересное, но манера съемки не лучшая. Камера резко перемещается с одного ракурса на другой и опять обратно. Смотреть дискомфортно. На мой взгляд, Вам стоит посмотреть аналогичные съемки блогеров с миллиоными подписками. Проанализируйте как они подают ракурсы, ближние и дальние перспективы, насколько они быстро меняют направление съемки. Смотрелось бы выигрышно если бы были субтитры с Вашим описанием. Возможно, не самого линкора "Миссури" (это легко можно найти), а особенностей проведения самой экскурсии. А если бы еще и на другом языке (не претендую на русский, но и других хватает) субтитры были, то это вообще круто. Буду иногда заглядывать на Ваш канал. Удачи.
1991 contract install new deaerators tanks $400k for Missouri which at time stationed in Long Beach. seemed like waste money since a year later the ship was retired from active duty.
When the USS Missouri was anchored at Suisun Bay Mothball fleet , I was able to fly over her in while in a P 51 Red Dog Xll We entered San Pablo Bay from Mt Diablo and flew over her twice before retuning to Livermore Talk about a “ bucket list “ item one that I will never forget
The USS Missouri has NO right to be berthed at Pearl Harbor. She has NO history there. That berth RIGHTFULLY belonged to either the USS Nevada or the USS Enterprise. The governent treated both of them like used dog food and destroyed them rather than save one for this berth. I would rather see the USS Missouri get the same treatment the USS Enterprise got rather than see it berthed in Pearl Harbor!
I have very rare experience I was Beruit 83-84 saw the USS NEW JERSEY fire and the Bob Hope USO show on her .When stationed out in Camp Pendleton a friend got stationed aboard th USS MiSSOURi he gave my wife and I a tour on the ship from the. surrender was signed to the tomahawk deck
