It was not a 30 foot tree either at the most maybe 5 feet

Half of what this guy said is bullshit, Most of these stories they come up with are the ones that they’ve made up since it became a museum ship, those of us that served on it during the war love these videos they come up with, Because they’re volunteers don’t listen to the actual vets that were on board

THAT IS CALLED THE STRUMTIGER or assault tiger...

There's a tank beside it...

I think the gentleman knows his stuff. Thank you

It was said that the FFG-62 Constellation will arrive in 2025 or 2026. Recently, the USN admitted that it would be at least three years late. And, of course, it's over budget. This is for a version of the FREMM that's been in service, with other navies, for over 10 years. The U.S. Navy originally said there would only be a 15% change from the existing design so it could be produced quickly and cheaply. Now, they admit there will only be 15% in common with the basic FREMM design. "Quick" and "cheap" went out the window a long time ago. So don't start holding your breathing waiting for the new Connie.

Thats pretty cool. Thank you dor sharing!

You're wrong about it being the last sailing warship. The frigate USS Constitution still sails, was never decommissioned, and is older than the Constellation.

Im from pakistan ❤😊

Constitution is still active and sails

this is a fantastic watch i loved this

Could not stand the crackling noise the whole time

zlaijia finkom😂😂😂

Is the constellation still in Baltimore

Far as i know, the "snorkel" was a dutch invention, together with the multiple hull design! It was captured by the germans when hey invaded the Netherlands in 1940, and captured some dutch subs still in construction!

Ci sono stato con mio figlio dopo il covid

How do I order one

If giant holes in the ground is your think i highly recommend looking into an american battle called the battle of piolot knob during the civil war

If giant holes in the ground is your thing i highly recommend learning about an american battle called the battle of pilot knob!

this guy loves his job

What was final story on tourit that blew up.

Iowa was across the Mississippi River from my house for long time when they took a gun turoit off and put missle launcher on her. AVONDALE SHIP YARD LA. NOW CLOSED. What happened to that.

When all the computers go out that ship will probably be the only one still working

The snack bar is also known as the geedunk

I work at general dynamics where that boat most likely was built in Connecticut it’s a honor what I do soon to be leaving but it so cool to have built a Virginia class SSN799 USS Idaho and the first Columbia class the USS Columbia SSBN826

The ship is made of white oak. White oak takes 200 years to mature. There’s only one place in the U.S. that supplies this wood. It’s a protected forest owned by the U.S. Navy. It’s in Southern Indiana.

is this one older than the constitution?

Regarding the spot in the video where the plaques on the bulkhead display the names of the officers and crew assigned to the ship when she was first comissioned; Those men would forevermore be known historically as “Plankholders”. A term dating back to the days of wooden hulled “man o war” ships.

Yes Vacuum Tubes are still made today and can be purchased for nearly any tube type. In fact many high end audio amplifiers are using tubes due to their superior quality

Have you forgot the Eagle?

so a glory hole is a naval term for a space with one way in and out

to be fair the constellation could be reactivated she might need new guns tho

SS-423 Torsk Submarine was in Pacific during the latter part of WW2 - My Father was radioman on SS399 SeaCat which was one of 12 Subs that escorted Battleship (BB-63) Missouri into Tokyo Bay for the Surrender Ceremony on September 2, 1945 SS-311Archerfish / SS-244 Cavalla / SS-212 Gato / SS-255 Haddo / SS-256 Hake / SS-262 Muskallunge / SS-386 PilotFish / SS-394 Razorback / SS-275 Runner / SS-398 Segundo / SS-399 SeaCat / SS-419 Tigrone were the 12 subs that were there that eventful day.

I can answer the wooden deck no they normally don't the reason the navy keep putting wooden decks on ships was insulation the wood keep the inside cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter since the end of the ww2 boats and the draft era so 70-80s all US boats have air conditioning in most spaces so the need for a labor intensive teak deck is minimal I believe the last active serving sips with wooden decks (save some special ships) was it Iowa class battleships and they only stuck around as long as they did because of Regan and the big expensive middle finger to the soviets the coffee thing it wasn't so much the pot was always on but in ww2 the submarines got real ground coffee the navy didn't always get that another reason is water was limited and guys would drink coffee where water wasn't as popular so it helped keep guys hydrated somewhat better (coffee isn't the best at hydration and this is more tribal knowledge and an actual fact)

Didn't cover nearly enough for being a 2+ hour tour. Between the coughing and throat clearing, there was too much talking and not enough walking.

for anyone wondering this area of baltimore is filled with crack heads. took an ex there once, nightmarish scenes.

i think if i was sleeping ontop of a torpedo i would be laughing uncontrollably for the first 3 or 4 days non stop

They’ll release it AFTER they manage to rig the election and put another crooked Democrat in Office !! They need another Democrat in Office to completely cover it up and move on to more power and Communist Rule.

the nodding guy

Merchant Marine ships would supply Subs with food and at sea.

Boring

The constitution still sails but whatever.

I took a private tour on this ship back in the 1980s. Sit back and let me tell you my story. I was in Balt. for business, I was in my probably late 20s. It was a week day most peeps were at work. I was parked near the ship and went over to take a look at it. I boarded the ship maybe 2 or 3 peeps were on it but were leaving. I was invited down into the ship by the guy giving the tour, a black gentleman about my fathers age maybe mid 50s maybe, he didnt look that old. My father was also a WW2 vet. When we went down below he showing me around telling what each dial and control was for. I was asking him about this and that just out of curiosity the dude was going into so much detail and knew the ship inside and out. So we struck up a conversation and I was asking him about his background and asked if he was a vet. Turns out he was a WW2 vet in the Navy in the thick of the action as he was stationed on the USS Saratoga in the pacific as it was attacked by Torpedoes and Kamikazee attacks. I remember him going into detail about what was happening, but its been so long I can't remember the details now. But I do remember being impressed by his knowledge, his humbleness and his first hand accounts. I was on that ship for probably 40 min. And left the ship thinking thats one cool dude. I could tell he enjoyed his job, because he could have said lets get more peeps before we start the tour but offered me a private tour. The guy made my day and made a big impression on me as its been 40 years and I still remember him and the cool tour.

Fun fact USS Constitution is still on the Naval Register and is still manned by active duty sailors as a museum ship in Boston Harbor.

Thanks for sharing

I live 10 minutes away. Of the 4 museum ships this one looks the most unkept. They're always pumping water out of her, there's dents every inch of the hull, and they don't give tours anymore. And they removed her name.

I live 10 minute walk away. If you didn't mention was the original USS Constellation we're still ship seaworthy, but the navy needed less frigates and more swoop-of-war, so the original is taking the car and used to play with that one. Still retaining the originals French given nickname "The Yankee race horse" for her speed.

Adequate video, but it could always be better.

My father served on the Taney in Vietnam. Just because of the problematic history of its namesake, please don't whitewash history by striking its name from presentations.

An incredible example of German stupidity.
